Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Most modern note-taking tools are essentially full relational databases. They’re great for long-term knowledge management, but they create friction when all you need is a quick scratchpad at your desk. I built notey to bring back the simple, tactile joy of a physical tear-off notepad right on your screen. Highlights: The Tear: Clean animation, confetti pop, and sound when clearing a page. Zero Lost Thoughts: Every torn sheet auto-saves into a searchable archive. Micro Utilities: Inline math evaluation, checklists, and PNG export. Lightweight: Built with Tauri v2 and Rust for fast startup and low RAM usage. It's free and open-source. I’d love to hear what you think of the tactile interactions and how it fits into your daily workflow!
