VimNotes brings real modal editing to your pocket. If you live in vim on the desktop, you finally have a notes app that thinks the way your fingers do.
Tap `i` to insert. Esc to go back to NORMAL. Compose with the motions and operators you already know — no relearning, no compromise.
WHY VIMNOTES
• Real modal editing — NORMAL, INSERT, VISUAL, and COMMAND modes, not a toolbar wearing a vim costume.
• Motions you know — h j k l, w b e, 0 $, gg G, plus counts (3w, 5j, d2w).
• Operators that compose — d, y, c with any motion. dd, yy, cc shortcuts. Visual-mode operations.
• Undo and redo — deep history (up to 100 steps) so experiments are always reversible.
• Registers — yank and paste with the unnamed register.
• Ex commands — :w, :q, :wq and friends from a familiar command line.
• Built for thumbs — a custom on-screen key row keeps Esc, :, and motions one tap away.
PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
• 100% offline. No accounts. No sign-up. No cloud.
• No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs phoning home.
• Your notes live in a local SQLite database on your device and nowhere else.
• No network permission requested — the app physically cannot exfiltrate your data.
BUILT FOR WRITERS WHO CODE
VimNotes is the daily driver for engineers, technical writers, students, and anyone who already touch-types in a modal editor. Capture meeting notes, draft commit messages, sketch designs in markdown, keep a journal — without ever leaving the keystroke vocabulary you already mastered.
