I love taking notes. But I hate taking long, long notes. PuffNotes was born to solve this problem. I usually take notes on my laptop in class, but there’s often so much to type out that I end up getting distracted, missing important points, or losing track of what’s happening in the lecture. Frustrated, I decided to create a solution tailored to my exact needs—PuffNotes, a minimalist, local-first, markdown-based note-taking app designed to make your messy, vague ideas look smart and structured with just one click. I kept it minimal, cozy, fun, and easy, ensuring it’s a perfect fit for anyone facing similar challenges. Built for lazy writers, distracted students, and tired creatives, PuffNotes offers a quiet, beautiful space to jot down thoughts without the clutter of traditional productivity tools. Powered with lightning-fast AI, it transforms rough fragments into polished, organized notes in seconds.

With PuffNotes, there’s no need for logins, cloud storage, or internet access after the initial load—your notes are saved directly to your device as .md files. Its serene interface, soft animations, and focus mode create a calm writing environment, while features like autosave and AI beautification ensure your thoughts are captured effortlessly. Whether you're a student, writer, or late-night thinker, PuffNotes is your cozy companion for effortless note-taking.

Privacy is a cornerstone of PuffNotes. Your notes are saved directly to your device as .md files, with no cloud storage, no accounts, and no tracking. After the initial load, PuffNotes works entirely offline, ensuring your thoughts remain yours. The AI beautification feature only activates when you choose to use it, and even then, your data stays secure. This local-first approach makes PuffNotes a safe haven for your ideas.

PuffNotes is built with a modern tech stack for a seamless experience. The frontend uses React and Vite for a fast, responsive interface, styled with Tailwind CSS for a cozy, relaxing design. AI powers the beautification feature, making your notes polished and professional with minimal effort.
