The Notebook
A private library for the lessons and ideas worth keeping. Every note is a page of notebook paper: capture a thought in a few seconds, scroll back through them one at a time, or lay them all out on a desk.
overview
The lessons that change how I work and live tend to get lost in random notes apps, screenshots and bookmarks. The Notebook gives them one quiet home. Each note is a page of notebook paper, and adding one takes a few seconds with Quick Capture.
Reading them back is the point. The Scroll shows one note at a time — newest first, favorites only, or shuffled — and the Library lays every note out on a desk with search, categories and favorites. New notebooks start with twelve categories, such as Mindset, Discipline, Money and Health & Fitness.
details
- Your original writing can't be changed: edits are saved as revisions, and any edited note can show its original version.
- Search combines ranked full-text search with partial-word matching across titles, writing, tags and categories.
- Shuffle uses a seeded order, so paging through a shuffled feed never repeats or skips a note.
- Each person's notes are walled off twice — in every query and in the database itself.
- Export everything to Markdown or JSON; deleting your account removes everything.
- Next: uploading and importing existing notes, and AI suggestions for titles, categories and tags that are always labeled and never rewrite your words.
