I have tried many note-taking tools over the years. I once used Wordpress, Obsidian, and Joplin for keeping my local notes. However, when I run large IDEs like Android Studio or an Android emulator, or when many programs are open at once, my computer becomes very slow. In these moments, I needed a note-taking app that could open quickly so I could capture my ideas without delay. Waiting tens of seconds for a note app to open has been a real pain. It made me waste time when I was trying to jot down a quick thought or a bug fix note.
Based on the belief that simplicity is the best path, I decided to develop TimyNote. The philosophy behind TimyNote is clear: keep it simple, small, and fast. The goal was not to add endless features that slow down the app and make it bulky. Instead, the focus was on building a tool that opens almost instantly and allows me to write my notes quickly. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." This idea is at the heart of TimyNote.
After developing the first version of TimyNote, we released an introductory video on Bilibili. The response was overwhelming. Many users reached out to share their excitement and appreciation. They became the very first fans of TimyNote. This positive feedback confirmed that there was a need for a simple, no-install note-taking tool. It felt rewarding to see that the idea of keeping the app lean and efficient resonated with so many people.
Every day, the first thing I do when I start my computer is to launch TimyNote. I use it to write down my tasks for the day and my hopes for what I want to achieve. Even if my computer is running several heavy programs like multiple IDEs or many open browser tabs, TimyNote always opens in just 2 seconds. This quick response is a game changer for me. I can capture ideas as they come, without having to wait. The app also saves my notes in just 1 second, making sure that no thought is lost.
The speed and simplicity of TimyNote have greatly improved my work efficiency. I no longer struggle with slow-loading note apps during my busy work sessions. With over 2500 notes already saved, I can still search for information without any delay. The performance of TimyNote remains excellent, even as my collection of notes grows larger. Its design shows that when you keep things simple, performance stays high and user experience remains smooth. As the saying goes, "Less is more." This principle guides every update and feature added to TimyNote, ensuring that the app does not become bloated or complicated.
The quick response of TimyNote has made it an indispensable part of my work. No longer do I worry about losing time waiting for an app to start. Instead, I can focus on my ideas, my tasks, and my work. It helps me stay organized and clear-minded, even on the busiest days. With TimyNote, I know that I can always count on a tool that works with me, not against me. The tool fits perfectly with my workflow and allows me to keep my thoughts organized in a fast and effective manner.
