No accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. Just your notes, on your computer.
Most note apps want you online, signed in, and paying. Scripta doesn't.

- Instant and lightweight — Opens in under a second. No loading spinners, no sync delays.
- Distraction-free writing — A clean, calm interface that gets out of your way.
- 100% free — No subscriptions, no feature gates, no ads. Ever.
Write the way you want — with headings, lists, checklists, code blocks, tables, images, quotes, dividers, and more. Formatting is as simple as selecting text or typing / to open the command palette.
- Drag and drop images directly into your notes
- Syntax-highlighted code blocks with 30+ languages
- Highlight, bold, italic, strikethrough, and colored text
- Find and replace with regex support
Keep your notes tidy with groups, pinned notes, and search.
- Create custom groups and drag notes between them

Bring your notes in, take them out. Scripta supports Markdown import and export, so you're never locked in.
Stay focused with cursor centering — the line you're writing always stays in the center of the screen, so you never have to look down.
Paste a URL and Scripta automatically fetches the page title, turning an ugly link into a readable one.
Show only the formatting buttons you use. Hide the rest. Reorder them however you like.
Switch between light, dark, or system themes. Choose from 1,900+ Google Fonts to personalize your writing experience.
Scripta remembers which note you had open, where you were scrolled to, and where your cursor was. Just pick up where you left off.
