I built Justwrite because I wanted a writing space that opens instantly, works offline, and doesn’t require an account just to save a thought.
Most notes apps feel heavier than they need to be, so I focused on the essentials: local-first autosave, a distraction-free editor, multi-note support, exports, and small comfort features like focus mode and ambient scenes.
The goal was simple: make writing feel private, fast, and calm.
The local-first, no-account approach really resonates — opening instantly without sign-in is exactly what I want from a notes app. Since everything lives locally, how are you thinking about moving notes between devices? Curious whether there's an export/import flow for that without breaking the privacy model.

Loved the aesthetics. I like how instantly it makes me focussed and think on what to write. Very minimalist and no distractions. One thing I would suggest to make tying sound off on default. Its Novel to hear the sounds at first, but it quickly becomes a distraction and doubles up with the actual keyboard sounds.

there's something nice about a writing tool that just opens and works. no login, no sync setup, no onboarding flow. the ambient writing modes are a cool touch too. would be great to see some kind of simple export to markdown file so you can move notes into other tools when you need to.

Local-first writing is still underrated for unfinished thinking. Draft notes, specs, prompts, and private business planning often need to exist before they are polished enough for a cloud workspace; offline ownership changes the way people are willing to write honestly.

Congrats on the launch!! I like the clean writing vibe and the fact that it can be used offline while keeping everything stored locally.
One thing I noticed while testing was that the side panels are pretty sensitive on hover. The notes panel closes almost instantly when I try to move into it and the audio picker sometimes disappears before I can select anything. Also had spell check turned on, but didn't see any typo highlights in the editor.

From a product perspective the positioning is clear but the real test will be retention since note apps live or die by long term habit formation
