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.

Linux Optimized: This Snap is fine-tuned for Ubuntu and other distributions using Wayland or X11.
