No logins. No servers. No trace. puwk is a scratchpad built around a radical idea: the safest place to keep a thought is nowhere. Write what you need to write, close the tab, and it disappears — no account, no sync, nothing stored, nothing to breach. Share a note? The full content is encoded directly into the URL. No server ever sees it. No database ever holds it. It self-destructs on schedule. Privacy here isn't a setting. It's the architecture. one File. Zero backend. Free forever.

puwk — the notepad that forgets Most notes apps want to own your thoughts. Sync them, store them, remind you they have them. puwk does the opposite. Open a tab, write whatever you need to write, close it. Gone. No account. No cloud. No history. Just a clean page that gets out of the way. Why ephemeral? Some thoughts don't need to live forever — a quick calculation, a draft you're embarrassed about, a vent you needed to get out. puwk is for those. It's a scratchpad with a self-destruct built in. But it's not nothing: Rich text — bold, italic, six highlight colors, keyboard shortcuts Five fonts — Helvetica, Georgia, Garamond, Palatino, Mono Dark mode, PWA-installable, works offline Share notes via URL — the entire note is compressed and encoded directly in the link. No server ever sees it. Copy the URL, send it, set an expiry. That's it. The share feature is the magic trick: a link that contains a full note, encrypted by URL encoding, that expires on its own and leaves nothing behind. puwk is for writers who draft in public browser tabs, developers who need a scratch buffer, and anyone who thinks the best note app is one you don't have to think about. Open source. No login. No tracking. Free.

I like the safest place to keep a thought is nowhere idea.

How you think about the balance between ephemerality and usefulness — do users mostly use it for private scratch notes, or for temporary sharing?
