Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I built FreeNotepad out of everyday frustration with modern note-taking apps. Most tools today are either bloated with complex project management features or require account logins, subscriptions, and paywalls just to write a simple thought. My goal was to create a digital notepad that feels instant, private, and distraction-free: • Instant & Local-First: Opens in milliseconds with zero signup. Your notes are stored locally in your browser and work 100% offline. • Encrypted Cloud Sync: Optional secure cloud synchronization across all your devices when you need it. • Power Without Bloat: Live Markdown preview, dual split-screen side-by-side editing, KaTeX math formulas, and code highlighting. • Effortless Organization: Custom folders, color-coded tags, and instant full-text search. • Export Freedom: Export to Markdown (.md), PDF, or plain text with one click. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and what features you’d love to see next! Thank you for the support! 🚀

Welcome to FreeNotepad! What’s your #1 feature wish?

Hey everyone!

We're getting ready to launch FreeNotepad tomorrow! I built this to solve a simple problem: modern note apps have become too slow, bloated, and require accounts just to jot down quick thoughts.

FreeNotepad is 100% free, local-first, offline-ready, and privacy-focused with live Markdown and dual split-screen view.

I'd love to hear from this community: What is your biggest frustration with existing note apps, and what feature would make your daily note-taking 10x better?
