| For a while, I was looking for a note-taking app that really fit how I work, but nothing fully clicked. So I turned this into a weekend project.
That’s how bytepad came to life. I like taking notes in Notepad++ — simple, fast, retro — but there’s no cross-device sync.
Notion feels overwhelming.
Todoist handles tasks well but lives in its own silo.
Obsidian has a great knowledge graph, but it didn’t match my workflow. I wanted something: as simple as Notepad not limited to a single use case with multiple functions and a knowledge graph feel So I built bytepad. It combines: notes, tasks, and habits global search a lightweight knowledge graph an optional AI assistant that helps plan the day and create tasks local-first storage with GitHub Gist sync fully open source It’s become part of my daily workflow, so I decided to share it. If this sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
