Minimal Note
What Minimal Note is
Minimal Note is a browser-based Markdown notes app made in Vietnam, available free on the web without signup or a download. It supports plain text, rich editing, and side-by-side editing with live preview. Notes can use wiki links, folders, tags, and search across titles and note content. Markdown rendering includes Mermaid and D2 diagrams, Typst blocks, and sandboxed HTML, with JavaScript available in HTML view. Any note can become a task board with priorities, due dates, tags, comments, and history. An infinite drawing canvas sits alongside notes, and drawings are saved offline on the device. The app works offline and can be installed as an app. Shared notes are encrypted end to end in the browser, though anyone with the link can read them. Notes export as Markdown files or ZIP archives. Settings include dark mode, font controls, content width, and Vim keybindings. The Free plan costs nothing and keeps notes on your device.
