DevNoty: Terminal-native notes

A notes app that finally looks like home. Markdown-native, terminal-styled, dark-only. Now with live preview and a separate journal for the human side.

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
