Terminal Notes: Hacker Notepad

Terminal Notes puts a command line where your notes live. Type at the prompt, hit return, and it is saved. Need it back? grep it. Monospace type, dark terminal colors and a blinking cursor: every note looks like it came from someone who knows exactly what they are doing.

$ write
• The app opens on a live prompt. Type, hit return. No titles, no folders, no friction.
• Type on the last line of a note to append to it.
• Plain-text checklists with [ ] and [x]. Tap a box to tick it.
• Optional timestamps on every append, for a dev log, a work log or a journal.
• Home screen shortcuts jump straight to a new note or a search.

$ grep
• Search runs as you type, across every note, with matches highlighted.
• Tag notes with #hashtags and filter by tag.
• Pin what matters, star what you reach for, file the rest into collections.
• Deleted notes go to Trash, so you can bring them back.
• The previous version of every note is kept, so a bad edit is one tap from undone.

$ theme
• A menu bar like a desktop OS: Notes, Search, View. Every command is one tap away, sized for thumbs.
• Terminal for dark, Paper for light, or Auto to follow your phone.
• Clean monospace type and a cursor that blinks while it waits for you.

$ offline
• Local-first: your notes stay on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Works offline.
• Export everything as a .zip of Markdown files. Import .txt, .md or a Terminal Notes .zip.
• Share a note as plain text or as an image.

Snippets, commands you always forget, ideas, to-dos, meeting notes, a daily log. Terminal Notes is a notepad for anyone who wants their notes to look sharp and their tools to stay out of the way.
