Overview

Calmd is an offline notes app built around writing and retrieval, not collection management. It opens to a blank composer, with search ready when you need an existing note.

Product

Calmd's empty composer prompting the user to find a note or start a thought — Start writing or search from the same screen.

Search finds notes by their words and offers to create one when there is no match. Links connect related notes; backlinks make each connection easy to follow.

Calmd search results for Start showing matching notes and a create action — Search existing notes or start a new one.

Calmd note editor showing linked notes — Backlinks keep related ideas in view while you write.

Build

I led product direction, design, and development. I built the writing experience, search, links, navigation, file storage, and landing page.

Notes stay as Markdown files in a folder you choose. Calmd builds its search and link indexes from those files, so your notes remain usable outside the app.
