A beautiful, lightweight, offline-first sticky note board for VS Code. Store your personal or project notes visually in .notelet files without leaving your editor.
Features
File-Based: Your notes live inside a .notelet file in your project. No databases, no cloud sync, no accounts. Just a file you can commit to Git or keep local.
Visual Board: Open any .notelet file and it instantly renders as a beautiful, interactive sticky note board instead of raw JSON.
Color Coded: Assign colors to your notes (Yellow, Blue, Green, Red, Purple, Orange) to organize thoughts visually.
Drag & Drop: Click and drag your notes to reorder them on the board.
Instant Search: Quickly filter through hundreds of notes instantly using the built-in search bar.
Markdown Code Support: Type inline code using == around words (e.g. ==code==), or block code by wrapping it between /// lines, and Notelet will render them with gorgeous monospace styling. No need for backticks!
Interactive Checkboxes: Create standard markdown to-do lists (- [ ] task) in your notes. They render as clickable checkboxes that you can toggle directly in the UI!
Native VS Code Integration: Seamlessly respects your current Dark or Light theme. Works perfectly with VS Code's native Undo/Redo (Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z).
Getting Started
Create a new file anywhere in your workspace and name it something like my-project.notelet.
Open the file. The Notelet board will automatically appear!
Click + Add Note to start organizing.
Privacy & Security
100% Offline & Private. Notelet is intentionally simple. It does not send analytics, telemetry, or your notes to any external server. Your data stays exactly where you put it: inside your .notelet file.
