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, nothing super fancy, 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.
The command menu includes three sections:
Recent Notes - Displays the 3 most recent notes you have created. Clicking on one of them will switch the current note to that note.
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.
Here is an example of the Note Manager when it has a couple of notes:
These settings, like your notes, will persist across page visits.
The defaults are as follows:
Default Note Name: New Note
Default File Type: Rich Text (.txt)
Enable Preview On New Notes: Off
Show Recent Notes: On

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.
Notetxt also has a selection of settings found by pressing the button. From here, you can adjust these settings to your liking. They mostly consist of settings for your notes:
