Notulee is a keyboard-driven scratchpad with superpowers: plain-text notes where math, conversions, variables and checklists just work, live, as you type. Nothing here requires an account or a connection — it all runs on your machine.
Notulee is available now for Windows and macOS — and you can try the full app right in your browser any time. See download or the live demo.
The whole idea in one line: write a number, give it a name, reuse it anywhere — change it once and every total follows.
