An installable notepad where the text you type stays invisible — only the word count moves. Everything is stored locally and works offline.Creator · Live · July 11, 2026
Discreet Notes lets you write with the text hidden on screen. The editor makes
text transparent while keeping the cursor and word count visible. You can
reveal your notes or adjust their opacity when you want to read them.I built it for taking notes in meetings, journaling in public, or writing while
sharing a screen.
Local storage and offline use
Notes are saved in the browser's IndexedDB rather than sent to a backend.
A service worker caches the application so it can run offline after the initial
visit. The app does not require an account.
Features
Invisible-text editor — a Tiptap rich-text editor whose content is
rendered transparent in discreet mode, with an opacity slider for partial
visibility in reading mode.
Autosave — saves 2 seconds after you stop
typing, instantly on Ctrl/Cmd+S, with a quiet saved/saving/unsaved
indicator in a toolbar that hides itself while you scroll.
A floating search dock — live full-text search across all notes and a
one-tap new-note button, designed mobile-first with safe-area handling.
Installable PWA — add to home screen on iOS or Android and it behaves
like a native app, offline included.
