Features Built for Writers

MinimalistNotes combines essential writing features with privacy-first design. No bloat, no distractions, no compromises.

Offline-First Architecture

MinimalistNotes works completely offline using your browser itself. Once the app loads, you never need an internet connection to write, edit, or read your notes.

  • Works on planes, subways, and areas with no signal
  • No sync delays or conflicts
  • Instant save with no waiting
  • Notes available even if our servers are down

Voice Dictation

Built-in speech-to-text using your browser's Web Speech API. Dictate notes hands-free in any supported language.

  • No external app required
  • Works with your browser's native speech recognition
  • Supports multiple languages
  • Real-time transcription as you speak

Text-to-Speech

Listen to your notes with built-in text-to-speech. Uses your browser's native speech synthesis - no external APIs required.

  • Browser-native TTS (no API needed)
  • Coming soon: optional ElevenLabs/OpenAI (BYOK)
  • Adjustable playback speed
  • Great for proofreading or multitasking

Privacy by Design

Your notes are stored only in your browser's local storage. We have no database of user notes, no telemetry on your content, and no way to access what you write.

  • Notes never leave your device unless you share them
  • No account means no data collection
  • No analytics on your note content
  • You own your data completely

Temporary Share Links

Generate share links for any note. Links automatically expire after 30 days to protect your privacy. Shared notes are stored temporarily on our servers, then deleted.

  • 30-day automatic expiry
  • Read-only view for recipients
  • No account needed for viewers
  • Automatic cleanup after expiry

Token Counting

Built-in token counter shows exactly how many tokens your text uses. Essential for anyone working with LLMs like GPT or Claude.

  • Real-time token count
  • Helpful for prompt engineering
  • Know your context limits
  • Based on standard tokenization
