Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built NotepadX after losing an unsaved scratch file one too many times. Like a lot of you, I live in a plain-text editor all day — quick notes, log files, code snippets, half-written ideas — and I kept hitting the same wall: my editor treated unsaved text as disposable, and nothing good existed on every platform I use. So I built the editor I wanted: ✍️ Never loses your work — quit with 10 unsaved tabs, they're all back on relaunch. Every version of every file (even ones you never saved) is kept in a local history timeline you can scrub through. 🔄 Cross-device sync without an account — it syncs your session (including unsaved buffers!) through any folder you already have — iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive. No server of ours, no sign-up, your data never touches us. 🤖 AI where it's actually useful — rephrase or refactor a selection, ghost-text autocomplete, summarize a doc. Bring your own key (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or fully-offline Ollama) — keys stay on your device. ⚡ The fundamentals are serious too: opens a 10MB log in under a second, big-file mode past 100MB, regex find & replace, 20+ languages, macros, text pipelines, six themes. It's free — no account, no trial, no ads in the app, no telemetry. macOS, Windows, and Linux from one codebase (Android is on the way). There's also a free online version at notepadx.app/try if you want to poke at the editor before downloading. I'd genuinely love feedback — especially on what would make you switch from your current editor. I read everything and I ship fast. 🚀

Curious how the AI rephrasing works without an account, since you mentioned it's free. Is there a usage cap or does it run locally somehow?

How does the AI rephrasing actually work in practice, like is it a built-in model or does it call out to an external API, and does that mean any of my text leaves my machine?

Finally a simple text editor that doesn't get in the way, and the unsaved file sync between my Mac and PC is genuinely useful when I bounce between devices mid-thought.
