About

DevNoty

Read full description

Devnoty is a notes app built for indie devs — and the humans they are when they're not coding. Most notes apps were built for everyone. This one was built for you: the people who live in terminals, editors, and code reviews. Markdown-native. Monospace-first. Terminal-themed. Dark-only. WHAT YOU GET ▸ Markdown editor with live preview Write in raw markdown, tap to switch to preview. Headings, bold, italic, syntax-highlighted code blocks, lists, blockquotes, links — all rendered the way devs expect. ▸ Markdown keyboard toolbar Bold, italic, inline code, H1, H2, lists, blockquotes, links, fenced code blocks — every common markdown operation as a one-tap button above the keyboard. No more poking at asterisks on iOS. ▸ File-tree organization Folders that nest like a real filesystem. Long-press to rename or delete. Move notes between folders. Reads like a project directory, because that's how you already think. ▸ Tags Add #tags to any note. Browse and search across your whole library. ▸ Separate journal A second tab for the human side. One entry per day, date-organized. For your journey, mood, what you shipped, what you didn't. ▸ Full-text search grep-style search across notes and journal at the same time. Tap any result to jump straight into the editor. ▸ Pinned notes Star important notes — they float to the top, always. ▸ Three sort orders, both directions By modified, by created, by name — ascending or descending. Persists across launches. ▸ Markdown export Share any note as a real .md file. AirDrop to your Mac, save to iCloud Drive, email it, open it in Cursor, VS Code, or Obsidian. Your data, your formats, your freedom. ▸ Tokyo Night aesthetic Built around the Tokyo Night palette you already know from your editor. JetBrains Mono throughout. Terminal-style bracketed labels, ASCII dividers, vim-inspired touches. DESIGNED FOR · Developers who keep tech notes, snippets, investigation logs, and architecture sketches on the go · Devs who want their notes app to feel like part of their toolchain — not Apple Notes in a turtleneck · Anyone who lives in a code editor and wants the same vibe on their phone · People who appreciate good typography and serious dark themes ABOUT Devnoty is an indie app, made with care. Send feature requests through the in-app feedback button — every email gets read.
