My Notes

An easy to use notes and reminders app. Created with WinUI 3 and C#
Report Bug · Request Feature

There are many note and reminder apps available on GitHub and other platforms; however, I didn't find one that combines both of these while using a modern UI, so I created this enhanced one. I want to create a "Note App" so amazing that it'll be the last one you ever need.

Here's why:

• Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and I often forget tasks that I want to do later, now with reminders feature it's not a problem
• If you need more detailed notes than .txt file, but not too much decorated and simple enough, with notes feature it's simple but effective
• It's easier to manage all your notes and reminders in one organized place.

Of course, no one "Note App" will meet everyone's needs, since your needs may be different. So I'll be adding more features in the future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have contributed to creating this great app!

This is the list of major frameworks/libraries I used to create this project. Any add-ons/plugins that I use are mentioned in the acknowledgments section.

Your Windows version should be higher than Windows 10 version 1809 because minimum Windows version supported by Windows App SDK is Windows 10 version 1809 (this app is self-contained, so it may work on older versions of Windows 10 but NOT Tested and even if it works, NOT Recommended.)

Installation process is pretty straight forward,

1. Download MyNotes_x64.msi from Releases
2. Follow the setup wizard instructions
3. Open MyNotes from the shortcut that installation wizard created on your desktop
4. (Optional but recommended) For reminders feature to work properly, open settings and select "Open on startup".

After installation, you can use the app easily without any problem, it's self-explanatory and easy to understand. Most of the UI is supported by tooltips and graphics.

You can add/edit/delete notes and reminders, if you delete something you're not intended to delete, don't worry, they will go to the "Trash" and you can restore them or delete completely. When creating reminders, a popup appears, on this popup there are 5 inputs you need to fill;

1. Name: Reminders name (Required)
2. Text: Reminders Text (Required)
3. Repeated: if you check tihs, it will set reminder to work every day at selected time (optional, default is non repeated)
4. Date: set the reminder date (for non repeated reminders)
5. Time: set reminder time (if not selected, uses current time)

After reminder created, you can see and edit it from "Reminders" page. Reminder will send a notification on selected date and time. You can snooze or dismiss it. if reminder is non repeated, dismissing it will sent reminder to trash.

Creating a note is much more simpler;

1. On "Notes" page, click "Add" button (highlighted big one)
2. A popup will appear, write your notes name
3. You will be redirected to "Note Details" page, write your note and edit with tools
4. After you finish writing your note, don't forget to save it.
5. Congrats, you have a new note, you can check it whenever you want in "Notes" page

Note:"Open on startup" option will add MyNotes to startup apps, and it can be seen from task manager. If you want to change this setting, use in app setting page to change it instead of task manager.

When app opened, it will check for expired reminders and send a notification about them, you can click the button on the notification to check deleted notifications.

I will add images in the future to support this section
