Your calm, productivity realm for Windows and Android.
Capture notes, organize projects, plan tasks, study PDFs, focus with lofi, and unwind in Safe Haven—without turning your workspace into clutter.
YourNotes is a maintained, deeply expanded fork of OpenNotes by @rajsriv. It has grown into a cross-platform workspace designed around fast capture, visual organization, reliable local storage, and an interface that feels warm rather than clinical.
Your data stays on the device by default. Account sync is optional, and uploaded files are stored in Cloudflare R2 rather than consuming Convex file storage.
Built and maintained by @BlazinSan.
- 📝 Notes that connect — a focused editor, wiki-style links, project folders, favourites, archive/trash flows, exports, and a sortable project-note sidebar.
- 🕸️ Project-aware Graph Map — see how notes relate, with distinct colors for every project or folder so larger knowledge bases stay readable.
- 📌 Spatial dashboard board — pin notes, images, PDFs, videos, and other files; drag and resize them while the layout keeps items in bounds and prevents overlap across desktop and phone.
- 🧘 Safe Haven — switch between an atmospheric log cabin, beach retreat, and high-rise loft, choose viewpoints, control ambience, and play the same lofi tracks used by Focus Session.
- 🎯 Planning in one place — tasks, calendar, habits, goals, books, expenses, and a Pomodoro-style focus session.
- 🙂 Interactive daily mood log — phone-friendly mood history, tap-to-view entries, responsive writing space, and dated journal details.
- 🎓 College Notes — organize lecture PDFs by subject and read them in a dedicated full-screen viewer.
- ☁️ Optional cross-device sync — sync notes, preferences, PDFs, pictures, and board files between Windows and Android; large file bodies go to Cloudflare R2.
- 🌍 Personalized workspace — English, العربية (RTL), 中文, and Bahasa Melayu; light/dark themes; Celsius/Fahrenheit; and the full ISO 4217 currency list.
- ⚡ Chrome Quick Portal — capture thoughts, selected text, page links, and URLs from the browser, with shortcuts back into the full app.
The Windows build opens maximized and provides the full desktop workspace. The Android build uses phone-specific navigation, touch targets, text fields, mood history, dashboard behavior, media viewers, and Safe Haven controls instead of simply shrinking the desktop layout.
The app is local-first and continues to work without signing in. Account sync is opt-in and can be triggered explicitly from Settings.
