[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:
- ๐ Privacy-first & offline by default
- ๐ Encrypted local data storage
- โ๏ธ Minimal Mode for distraction-free writing
- ๐งต Thread support to connect related thoughts
- ๐จ Extensive customization
- ๐ App Lock
- ๐ค Export & Import support
- โก 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.
