Quick Notes widget for Windows
The place to put a phone number, a snippet, or a half-formed thought before it evaporates. It saves as you type, so there is no save button and nothing to lose. Switch on monospace and line numbers when you are pasting code, or markdown preview when you are drafting. Turn on the optional AI enhancements and three buttons appear under the note: Tidy fixes typos and structure, Expand turns shorthand into sentences, and Checklist makes a markdown to-do list, each with a one-step undo.
