QuickJot

A fast, lightweight, browser-based note-taking site that persists notes locally using localStorage.

Try it out here.

• Dark mode support

1. Click "New Note" to create a note and start typing
2. Create more notes using "New Note" (or CMD+E)
3. Switch between notes using the dropdown or keyboard shortcuts

If you prefer a simple, blank canvas, I recommend the superior typehere.app.

This is different from quickjot.app, which seems to be a site for logging daily memories (cute but unrelated).
