Nute
Notion is nice, but sometimes all you need is an app like Nute.
Nute is a note taking app inspired by the simplicity of pencil and paper. There’s nothing to install, nothing to set up, and no account required. Everything you write stays there, even after you close the app.
Nute works offline, can be installed as a progressive web app on any device with a WebKit browser, and keeps your notes in your browser by default. It's lightweight and loads instantly, even on slow connections. There are no ads or trackers, and your notes only leave your device if you choose to sync or share them.
If you do create an account, you can sync your notes across unlimited devices, share anything you’ve written with anyone, or download it as a text file. An account also unlocks a few extras for longer writing sessions, including focus mode, full screen mode, dark mode, a monospaced font, keyboard shortcuts, multiple pages, and drag and drop import for existing text files.
Nute also includes a few thoughtful touches. It has character, word, and line counters, lets you add pages with the plus button or delete one by triple tapping its number, and even hides an Easter egg for anyone who enters the Konami Code.
I created Nute out of a desire to bring the intuitive feel and tactile satisfaction of pencil and paper to computer screens. I keep it pinned in my browser to take notes and manage tasks throughout the day. Hopefully, you find it useful too.
