Gravity – Minimal Notes

Tristan Manchester

About this app

Capture thoughts instantly. Review them naturally.

Gravity is a minimal, single-stream note-taking tool designed for the solo thinker. Inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s “append + rescue” philosophy, Gravity removes the friction of folders, tags, and organization overhead, allowing you to focus entirely on capturing ideas.

The Stream: Your thoughts live in a single, continuous timeline. New ideas enter at the top. As time passes, gravity takes hold—older notes gently drift down.

Swipe to Rescue: Don't let good ideas disappear. Following the "rescue" methodology, review your stream and swipe right on any note to "Bump" it back to the top of the stack, resetting its gravity. Swipe left to archive it when you're done. It is a natural cycle of capture, review, and resurface.

Features:
- Frictionless Capture: Start typing as soon as the app is opened.
- Inline Organization: Use simple prefixes like todo:, read:, or idea: to automatically tag and color-code your text.
- Lightning Fast Search: Instantly search thousands of notes and find any thought with a powerful local search engine.
- Privacy First: Gravity is Local-Only. Your data lives in a high-performance database on your device and never touches a cloud server.
- Tactile Design: Designed with a warm, paper-like aesthetic, satisfying haptics, and fluid gestures.

Stop organizing. Start thinking. Let your thoughts sink in.
