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 =]
