Show HN: Fylepad – A minimal, tabbed Markdown notepad built with Rust
imrofayel Friday, February 06, 2026
I built fylepad because I needed a dead-simple, local notepad that handles Markdown and tabs without the bloat of a full IDE or a browser-based app.
Why use this?
Instant: Built with Rust/Tauri, so it’s light on RAM. No Cloud: Just a local tool for quick notes (with tables, code blocks etc) and diagrams (Mermaid/PlantUML).
Tabs: I hate having 20 windows open; this keeps my scratchpads in one place.
I'm curious—what's the one feature you feel is missing from your current "quick note" workflow?
Summary
Fylepad is an open-source, lightweight, and fast text editor designed for developers. It provides a minimalist interface with powerful features, including syntax highlighting, code folding, and support for multiple programming languages.
