DeNotes
A quieter place to think.

What it is
One note in focus, Markdown that renders as you type, and nothing else asking for attention. Folders hold files, files hold notes, and goals tie them together.
Your notes are plain Markdown in your own Google Drive, or on your device. If DeNotes disappeared tomorrow, your writing would not.

Stickers
A scratchpad for passing thoughts that clears itself after 24 hours.
Templates
Write a structure once and reuse it whenever.

Your storage
