Features

Everything a scratchpad should be.
Nothing it shouldn't.

🪟

Floating window

Frameless and always-on-top. Pin it, move it, or let it hover over your editor while you work.

⌨️

Global hotkey

Ctrl+Shift+N summons Novit from anywhere — no alt-tabbing through windows.

✍️

WYSIWYG editor

A formatting toolbar over a live preview. Markdown stays readable underneath, always.

💾

Autosave

Debounced saving to real .md files. Your notes are plain text you own — back them up, sync them, edit them anywhere.

🧭

Command palette

Ctrl+K to switch notes and run actions without ever touching the mouse.

🖥️

System tray

Show, hide, create a note, or quit — all from the tray. Novit stays out of your way until you need it.

Themes

Four moods, one palette of pixel warmth.

Switch with one click from the titlebar. Your choice sticks between restarts.

Olive

Warm parchment & forest tones. The default.

Purple

Deep violet with a lavender glow.

Cyan

Night-sea tones with an electric accent.

Crimson

Dark wine with a rosy highlight.
