Not AI, not vibe coded, but Yes delightful - Spectral Notes is the middle ground between scribbling a note down and managing it a little more structurally when the need arises

I know, another notes app. But it was born of love and an arguably unhealthy obsession with UX and making it super intuitive despite the many features. In particular, Spectral has:

  • Fully offline mode (no account/sign up needed)
  • Optional, cross-device (phone, windows, mac soon) sync
  • The desktop app floats over other apps, and you can summon it with a shortcut so it's always is to bring it into focus without switching context, and dismiss it just as easily when you're done
  • Capture first approach - no forced structure just to jot a note down
  • That said, adding structures is easy; you can tag a note with #hashtags, and mark priority using `@` shortcuts
  • You've got your standard chronological list view, but a clear "today" section above it for your "todo today" notes
  • There's also a group view to view by tags
  • Batch editing/archiving notes
  • Robust search and filtering
  • And some delightful UX, I think at least =]

Anyway if you're interested, here you go:

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, naturally

Side conversations in Codex are excellent - highly recommend

In case you don't know, you can run /side or just use the plus button on the top right to open side conversations. This is great for context management, going down rabbit holes, side-questions like "wait why did you do it that way", etc

It's like subagents but with more visibility and control

Most of my chats end up having side-threads, sometimes over 10 of them, because I want to keep the main thread as focused on the core task ask possible

Highly, highly recommend this feature if you're not using it

I got tired of "I got tired of" posts so I tired myself in the face

Walked out to my bike, headfirst as it hung tall on the rack, and slammed right into the top tire

That is all
