README

micronote_white_64 micronote

a tiny, always‑ready place for text.

micronote is a lightweight windows utility designed for quick notes, scratch text, and temporary thoughts. it stays out of the way, remembers everything automatically, and fades into the background until you need it again.

🏛️ built with Delphi 🏛️
no ads, no telemetry, no nonsense.

features

  • autosave
    your text is saved every few seconds with zero interruption.
  • drag & drop text
    drop text from browsers, editors, or other apps directly into the note.
  • pin modes
    • embed — stays behind everything
    • float — stays on top
    • free — behaves like a normal window

  • dark + light themes
    clean, modern windows 11 styles with automatic icon switching.
  • global hotkey toggle
    show or hide micronote instantly using scroll lock, pause, or insert.
  • autotrim
    optional whitespace cleanup for tidy notes.
  • status bar indicators
    live word count, line count, and quick access to settings.

why micronote?

micronote is intentionally small. it’s not a full note‑taking system, not a markdown editor, not a database. it’s a scratchpad; the digital equivalent of a sticky note that’s always there, always saved, and never in the way.

if you need a place to paste something, jot something down, or keep a temporary list, micronote is built for that.
