quicknotes.nvim

A tiny, zero-friction floating quick notes panel for Neovim.

Sometimes you just need to jot down a thought while coding without switching windows, changing buffers, or losing focus. quicknotes.nvim opens your personal running markdown note in a clean floating window and automatically keeps daily sections organized.

✨ Features

• Opens your notes in a centered floating window
• Automatically creates a section for today's date
• Saves your notes automatically when closed
• Close with q or <Esc> (just like help buffers)
• Simple configuration. Works out of the box.

📦 Installation

{
  "manprit-tiwari/quicknotes.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  config = function()
    require("quicknotes").setup()
  end,
}

use({
  "manprit-tiwari/quicknotes.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("quicknotes").setup()
  end,
})

})

🎯 Usage

Your notes are saved in:

~/Notes/quick_note.md

Or:

if $DEV_HOME is set.

✅ Future Plans

• Optional daily-per-file mode
• Templates for TIL / meetings / journal entries
• Context capture (file link, selection, repo info)
• Telescope / snacks.nvim integration
