Note

This is now based on the forked version of PracticeMedicine's FastNote repo, with his preferred changes to it. This has also been migrated from .NET Framework v4.7.2 to .NET 8.0.

An extremely lightweight, self-contained Notepad alternative for Windows.

The goal is simple: to have a small and fast program with no frills.

Features

• Fully self-contained EXE
• Custom icon that shows in the window and About dialog (fancy!)
• Simple, familiar interface, similar to old Windows Notepad
• Designed for quick notes without clutter
• In my very scientific testing (trust me!), the utility uses 7 times less ram than modern notepad on average
• No AI or Microsoft pestering!
