About
LiteNoted is a local-first Mac notes app backed by a private SQLite database with no account or cloud requirement. It combines rich-text editing, Markdown paste, checklists with start and due dates, 20 category icons, live search and JSON export/import. Each note can have a custom background color or image, and window opacity plus always-on-top mode keep a working note beside another app.
