NotePom is a calm, local-first workspace for capturing notes, files and ideas without overthinking structure first. It combines a Notion-like writing space, a file library, public pages, sync, export...

Hello,
I’m Sofian, the maker of NotePom.
I built NotePom because I wanted a personal space that feels less heavy than Notion, but more complete than a simple notes app. Somewhere to drop notes, files, drafts, links and ideas without having to design the perfect system first.
The editor is powered by Pretext, which lets notes feel more like living pages: text can flow around media instead of treating images, links and files as simple attachments.
NotePom is local-first, private by default, exportable, and hosted in France. You can write notes, manage folders and files, publish clean public pages, sync your space, and export your data whenever you want.
A few things that make it different:
- Local-first notes and files
- Public pages and profiles
- Exportable workspace
- A calm editor built around writing, not dashboards or databases
I’d love feedback on the onboarding, the positioning, and whether the “local-first personal space” idea is clear from the first visit.
Feel free to contact me ! 💫

How does the sync work under the hood and is there a self-hosted option for the local-first setup?

Thanks for the comment @tunahaneoaz ! The base version already works locally without an account (in the browser’s local storage), and export is already available.
Sync is optional: when you sign in, NotePom uses the hosted API to keep your devices up to date.
No self-hosted sync option yet with an account, but the upcoming desktop app is built with Tauri, so the local-first direction is definitely core to the product 🙏

The local-first approach is refreshing and the Notion-style editor feels snappy without the usual lag. Public pages being built in by default is a nice touch for sharing work fast.
That’s exactly the direction I’m aiming for something lighter than Notion.
I don’t want to turn it into another huge tool full of databases, AI features and endless configuration. The goal is much simpler : a place to write, organize, export and share your notes without friction.

NotePom is now downloadable. That means you can use it as a real local workspace: notes, files, media, folders, exports, all on your computer. Sync is optional. Local-first is the default direction. Try it here: https://notepom.com/download
