Most note-taking tools feel disconnected from actual development workflow.
I constantly ended up with:
debugging notes in random files
temporary snippets lost in chats
architecture ideas scattered everywhere
markdown files across multiple folders
So I built QuickNotes for VS Code.
It’s a local-first notes extension designed for developers.
Features
Markdown notes inside VS Code
Local private notebooks
Optional GitHub sync
Synced + local note spaces
Auto-sync support
Conflict-safe backups
Fast sidebar workflow
One thing I cared about a lot:
local notes stay local unless you explicitly move them to synced notes.
The goal was to make something simple, fast, and developer-native instead of another heavy productivity system.
Still improving it, but the first version is now live.

Would love feedback from developers using VS Code daily.
