Update: This is such an upgrade for me, I got so sick of having to switch between three to four different google accounts for everything to be sorted half decently. But being able to save to my icloud anywhere gives me the ability to have school save to school and whatnot, thanks for making this!

Thank you fo this so minimal app! Unfortunately I can't change the font or highlight them.

If I do so, it turn back to the original unchanged way. Hope you can fix it.

Looking forward.

Thank you, Anne! You shouldn't be able to change the font. Can you send me some screenshots of what you are trying to do so I can get a better idea? You can send them here: https://www.thisise.tech/contact

Congrats🎉 I downloaded and tested! Really simple and clean interface cause us focused writing.

I noticed a few things. The first is that when I save, the file name automatically becomes WhyNote, so when I try to save continuously, files with the same name exist in the same hierarchy, and it's a bit of a hassle to be asked whether to replace them each time, so it would be nice if, for example, the first sentence of the text was automatically made into the title. Or, if you want to make it unique, I prefer a file name that does not exist at the same level as another, such as "whynote202505051205".

The second is that there is no function to open files. I think this will be developed in the future, but it's a shame that I can't edit or view text saved elsewhere with this clean, minimalist text editor.

Thank you for your feedback! Currently, the editor functions like many others, using "WhyNote" as a default name instead of "Untitled." Users will need to change this manually if they wish. I appreciate your suggestion and will definitely consider it for future improvements.

Hello !

I discovered your app while watching your last YouTube video, and I would say thank you ! It will be very useful for me to use it as a quick text tool !

There is only a small bug (or at least a strange behavior), there is 2 menu item called "File" (https://ibb.co/qMMZwLsf). Maybe you can merge them together :)

I hope this will be helpful to you !

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. I have just fixed the menu bar. I plan to release this update and clean up the system once I gather more feedback, likely by the end of the week. Additionally, I will work on implementing an automatic updater to ensure everything stays current.

Wow Mr. E! This is great! Too bad I don’t have a Mac to help you test :(. I hope your app does make it to the App Store and is very successful!

Have been looking for a text note app similar to Notepad++ on Windows. This is going to be awesome.

1 idea / request, though;

tab function to open multiple notes, quitting and opening the app will just open all tabs where you left off

Hi, When I try to open the app, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “WhyNote” with this version of macOS." Which version of MacOS is the app compatible with?

Amazing APP and love the interface.

Just would like 1 feature where I can open any text file and use to find and fold specific keywords.

Usecase: While working on log analysis, it is very useful and I do not find a simple mac app that can do it

Just FYI as of now app is struggling to handle too much text content

In the video with the use of the application, there is a "Find and Replace" bar visible at the bottom of the editor. However, in my version of the application, I cannot find any option to activate or access this function.
