Notetxt is a minimalistic note-taker site with a focus on minimalism and simplicity, letting you write down what's on your mind. No accounts, no subscriptions, just you and your notes.
To start taking notes using Notetxt, you will need to navigate to the Editor. This is where all of your note-taking will happen.
If it is your first time using Notetxt, you will see a 'Getting Started' note, which gives you a checklist to tick off by completing different tasks within the Editor:
The Markdown preview mode will be enabled by default on your first visit only to help you visualise the checklist easier. After leaving/refreshing, the Markdown preview mode will be off by default, but can be toggled with its keybind.
Notetxt supports importing, exporting, and downloading notes in .txt and .md file formats. You can also export all of your notes into one of the file formats as a .zip file.
The command menu includes three sections:
Recent Notes - Displays the 3 newest notes you have created. Clicking on one of them will switch the current note to the one you clicked.
General - Includes various options you can use to perform different actions.
Links - Includes links to various pages related to Notetxt.
To use different note options on a specific note, click the ... button in the top right of each note. From here, you will be able to do things like edit the tags attached to a note, copy notes, and more.
When searching for notes from within the Note Manager, you can search by either the name of a note, or by tags applied to a note.
Here is an example of the Note Manager when it has a couple of notes in it:

You can access the Note Manager by pressing the button, using the Ctrl+J keybind, or by adding the query-string parameter, which will automatically open it for you.
