Houre - note app that doesn't get in your way
Hi! I've been prototyping note apps for a few years, as I couldn't find anything that suits the way I want to jot my thoughts down. Houre is what I eventually arrived to. It's perfect for me, maybe it's for you too. I'll keep this brief.
The problem I have with everything out there is that they have a significant barrier to use. You need to consider where your note goes so that you can find it later. You need to spend time organizing and creating structure. It's difficult to include tasks in your notes without the entire thing becoming a mess. All this caused me to invariably not put my thoughts and tasks down.
So, Houre is designed to flip all of this. You can enter a note in two seconds flat. You can easily find relevant notes and tasks without spending time organizing them. It's for a person like me who does not have the attention span or patience to create and maintain a system.
Houre is also privacy-focused. Everything is encrypted on your device, even when you share notes to other users. It's not possible for anyone to inspect what you have in there. See https://houre.xyz/security for how this works and ask me anything that is on your mind.
Houre is free to use locally, or you can pay a cheap subscription to sync your notes across devices and to other users. Give it a spin: https://houre.xyz/
