Unforget, the note-taking app I always wanted: offline first, encrypted▲274
Hi HN! I created Unforget out of years of frustration with Google Keep and the lack of alternative that met all my needs. I hope you find it useful too! Features include: - import from Google Keep - offline first including search - sync when online - own your data and fully encrypted - Desktop, mobile, web - lightweight, progressive web app without Electron.js - markdown support - programmable with public APIs - open source [1] While I still use org mode for long-form notes with lots of code, Unforget has become my go-to for quickly jotting down ideas and to-do lists after migrating the…

Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel▲54
I finally built this app after many years of being sick of unlocking my phone every goddamn time I need to take or view my notes. It particularly sucks when I'm doing my grocery and going down the list. I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded". I simply used the chat interface in Gemini website, manually copy paste codes to build and integrate every single thing in the app! I used gemini to build it just because I was…

DailyNote – one-note-per-day app with local-first encryption▲5
Hi HN and Happy New Year! I built DailyNote, a minimalist daily notes app: one note per day, a year-at-a-glance calendar, and local-first storage. The interesting bit is the encryption + sync model: - Notes are always encrypted locally before syncing to Supabase. - A dedicated data key (DEK) encrypts notes; your password only wraps that DEK (KEK). - So when you change your password, it just re-wraps the DEK — no re-encryption of note data. I built the whole project in one day using Claude + Codex with a spec‑driven approach (tight PRD → implementation). It’s React/TypeScript, IndexedDB…
