Attention: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a complicated task, but we are working on improving our technology steadily. We ask for understanding that special cases, crazy fonts, different languages, weak light conditions, etc. will be supported step by step via prospective updates.

DosNotes is a minimalist notes app inspired by the MS‑DOS era. No gradients, no clutter – only sharp pixels, a monochrome palette and an instant launch into writing. Capture ideas, drafts, lists and code in a focused DOS‑style editor that feels like an old terminal but works like a modern tool. Customize sounds and colors, switch between light and dark DOS themes, and enjoy keyboard‑friendly controls. DosNotes is perfect for nostalgic geeks, writers who crave focus, and anyone who wants a unique retro twist on everyday note‑taking.
