Build a clean, comprehensive .gitignore file for your repository to prevent committing build artifacts, logs, and sensitive API secrets.
.gitignore file placed in your project root to determine which files and directories to ignore when tracking changes and making commits.Engineered for speed, privacy, and productivity. Zero virtual-DOM overhead, native IndexedDB persistence, Web Worker offloading, and client-side zero-knowledge encryption.
Built with high-performance vanilla JS without bloated single-page framework overhead. Loads and is typable in under 1 second.
Your notes are stored asynchronously in browser IndexedDB. Supports massive notes and multi-tab workspaces without main-thread blocking.
Share notes with 256-bit AES-GCM encryption. The decryption key resides exclusively in your URL hash (#key=...) and is never sent to the server.
Live word counts, regex find & replace, casing transforms, and line sorting run inside a dedicated background Web Worker at full 60fps.
Install Outsmart Notes as a desktop or mobile Progressive Web App. Write, format, and organize notes anywhere without an internet connection.
Instant zero-server export to .txt, .md, .json, .csv, .pdf, Word .docx, and QR Code.
When you generate a share link, your browser encrypts the note locally using the Web Crypto API (AES-GCM 256-bit). Only the encrypted ciphertext is saved temporarily to our database. The decryption key is appended to the link after the # hash symbol (e.g. #key=...). Because browsers never send URL hashes to web servers, only people you give the link to can decrypt the note.
Outsmart Notes uses IndexedDB as its primary storage engine. Unlike synchronous localStorage, IndexedDB is asynchronous, supports multi-megabyte documents, and prevents any user-interface freezes during auto-saving.
Yes! Outsmart Notes is a Progressive Web App (PWA). In Chrome, Edge, Safari, or mobile browsers, click the Install / Add to Home Screen icon to install it as a standalone, offline-ready desktop or mobile application.
