> It does work offline

That's very nice.

> In thinktype, you write and search using the same field

For my use I wouldn't care about search much. Most of what I write is one-time information like a phone number or some shopping list. Sometimes it's a thought that I just want out there but it has no value beyond that moment. And if an idea can be used in some of my projects or become a seed for one, I'd want to catalogue it using a structured app like Evernote or Standard Notes or any other.

I think there are lot of advantages of using one app for all notes, and that's part of why I made thinktype. It means you don't have to ask yourself where to write something down and where you did write something down.

Thanks. So it does look like the entire thing is too wide. I have no idea how to fix this, or even replicate it, sorry.

That's the idea behind most note-taking apps like iOS notes or Bear or Google Keep. You can use tags, ad images, lists and so on and so on.

But I dig that there are no folders or separate notes in your app, just one roll.

There are seperate notes, but no folders. You don't need or want folders if search is so easily accessible. Typing "foobar" to see all your notes on "foobar" is faster then clicking on your "foobar" folder.
