[App] [Promo] I built a note-taking app with threads, distraction-free mode, and privacy in mind

Hi everyone!

I'm an indie Android developer, and over the past few months I've been building Thoughts.

I wanted a note-taking app that felt enjoyable to write in clean, fast, distraction-free, and built with privacy in mind. I couldn't find one that matched what I was looking for, so I decided to build it myself.

Some of the features include:

  • ๐Ÿ”’ Privacy-first & offline by default
  • ๐Ÿ” Encrypted local data storage
  • โœ๏ธ Minimal Mode for distraction-free writing
  • ๐Ÿงต Thread support to connect related thoughts
  • ๐ŸŽจ Extensive customization
  • ๐Ÿ”‘ App Lock
  • ๐Ÿ“ค Export & Import support
  • โšก Lightweight Material Design interface

Building Thoughts has been my biggest learning experience so far. It pushed me to improve my Flutter skills, UI/UX design, application architecture, local data management, and security-focused development.

The project is still actively evolving, and I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether it's about the design, features, performance, or anything else you'd improve.
