✨ Why Lovmind?

Born from the need for zero-friction note-taking, Lovmind is a floating notes app that appears instantly with a global hotkey (⌘N / Ctrl+N). No switching apps, no context loss—just pure thought capture.

Key Differentiators:

• 🚀 Native Performance: Built with Tauri for 10x smaller size than Electron apps
• ⚡ Instant Access: Global hotkey summons the app from anywhere
• 🎨 WYSIWYG Editor: Rich text editing with Markdown shortcuts (powered by Plate.js)
• 🪟 Multi-Window: Each note opens in its own window for parallel work
• 🔒 100% Local: Your data never leaves your device
