WebNotes
An online note-taking app, accessible from anywhere.
WebNotes is a clean, fast note-taking app hosted fully online. Your notes are stored securely in a cloud database and are always available through your browser — no installation required.
Features
- Rich text editor — write notes with bold, italic, lists, links, tables, font sizes, and custom background colours.
- Instant search — all your notes are listed in the sidebar, sorted by last edited. Filter by title or content in real time.
- Encrypted at rest — note contents are stored encrypted in the database using AES-256-GCM, so your data stays private even at the storage level.
- PIN lock — set a PIN to lock your notes in the current browser session. Notes stay blurred until you unlock them.
- Import & export — export notes as HTML or plain text, or bulk-import from a CSV file.
Built with
WebNotes runs on the Frame PHP framework — a lightweight MVC framework with a simple routing system, Blade-style templating, built-in authentication, and a CLI tool for generating controllers, models, migrations, and more. The front end uses Bootstrap and vanilla JavaScript, with no heavy client-side framework. Data is persisted in a MySQL database hosted in the cloud.
