      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ever remember getting a useful answer from an LLM, but forget which conversation it was in?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s why I built &lt;strong&gt;PeepNote&lt;/strong&gt;, an open-source desktop app for saving useful LLM responses and finding them again while you work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Save the parts worth keeping
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Copy an answer, press &lt;strong&gt;Alt+1&lt;/strong&gt;, choose Markdown, and paste it into a note. Tables, headings, and code blocks render in the saved note.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can also add your own thoughts, attach files, or capture a screenshot with &lt;strong&gt;Alt+2&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpue1vefs4cu13air9wbt.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpue1vefs4cu13air9wbt.gif" alt="Saving an LLM response as a Markdown note" width="600" height="343"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Recall notes without leaving your workflow
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open &lt;strong&gt;Quick List&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;Alt+Q&lt;/strong&gt; to browse notes from your selected date range. Use &lt;strong&gt;Alt+E&lt;/strong&gt; to go back, and open a record when you need the full content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted saved answers to be easy to revisit while coding or reading another conversation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fqgj0sol7ya3drx5oodmp.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fqgj0sol7ya3drx5oodmp.gif" alt="Browsing saved notes with Quick List" width="600" height="343"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Bring related answers together
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes the useful information is spread across several conversations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Group related notes and generate an &lt;strong&gt;AI summary&lt;/strong&gt; to turn them into a single reference. Summaries use your selected app language and your own provider API key.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F96jfx9abebn4z07g5aot.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F96jfx9abebn4z07g5aot.gif" alt="Grouping notes and generating an AI summary" width="560" height="320"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Local storage, no account required
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PeepNote runs on &lt;strong&gt;Windows and Linux&lt;/strong&gt;. Notes and attachments are stored locally, and you don’t need an account to use it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI summaries are optional. When you use them, the selected notes are sent to the provider you configure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other features include workspaces, favorites, search, screenshot OCR, and light and dark themes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Try it and share your feedback
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can find the source, setup instructions, and more demos here:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;a href="https://github.com/OddlyGoods/peep-note" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PeepNote on GitHub&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How do you currently keep useful answers from LLM conversations?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any ideas that could make PeepNote more useful—even if they take it in a direction I haven’t considered!&lt;/p&gt;
