Nift

A lightweight, fully keyboard-based note-taking app where notes are one-liners with minimal Markdown support. It manages tasks and reminders, does inline calculations, offers unlimited undo/redo, and organizes notes by project and categories, storing data as simple text files. The core focus is simplicity, frictionless high-performance note taking, and an open nature, with plans for a framework supporting kanban, Eisenhower matrix, back-linking, bookmark manager, and time-tracking views.
