I am working on a minimalist journal app that is for really quick single line jots. Can be used for idea dumping, project management, quick calculations, unit conversion, task management etc. Have unlimited undo/redo support, assign tags etc. Will be adding scripting support using Python next. The data is stored in text file, in really human friendly manner, but also in way so that the *nix tool users can easy to navigate the file using text processing tools.

Native application, no web UI, built using Rust + iced.rs, minimal dependency. NO AI.

I am putting the best effort to make it performant. Target audience is the users who want's the simplicity of the notepad [non-sloppy one], but still with some bells and whistles to note without worrying about managing the metadata manually.

I think with scripting there will be infinite possibilities to play with linear notes, and I want to make that happen.

Continuous challenges while implementing features are:

  1. It should load instantly
  2. Keeping it extremely simple to use
  3. Keeping the interface minimal
  4. Still have ways to let the user find the features easily.
Will have a demo version ready soon
