Floaties

Floaties is a distraction-free note-taking application designed for users who prioritize privacy and a clean workspace. Built with a local-first philosophy, it ensures your data remains under your absolute control at all times.

WHY CHOOSE FLOATIES?

Uncompromising Privacy: Every note is secured using professional-grade AES-256 encryption. Your local vault is protected by Argon2id, a memory-hard key derivation function.

Zero Cloud Policy: Your data never leaves your machine. There are no accounts to create, no tracking scripts, and no "phoning home" to remote servers.

Minimalist UI: Modern, frameless windows built to provide a sleek experience that floats over your workflow without cluttering your screen.

Smart Persistence: The application automatically remembers your window positions, sizes, and states, so your workspace is exactly how you left it.

Atomic Storage: Powered by a thread-safe SQLite engine to ensure your data is saved reliably and instantly.

INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE

Floaties is a solo-developed project built by a hobbyist for the community. It is free to use, ad-free, and respects your digital sovereignty.
