NoteForge

NoteForge is a focused Windows workspace for writing notes, creating longer documents, and planning projects without scattering your work across multiple applications.

MADE WITH LIDE

NoteForge was written in Lua and built as a Windows Native GUI project in LIDE. It is a real standalone application created to demonstrate what developers can build, package, and release with LIDE.

FEATURES

• Separate casual Note and structured Document workspaces

• Notebook sidebar with searchable notes and documents

• Daily notes for quickly capturing each day’s work

• Project Planning workspace with board and list views

• Task statuses: Backlog, Planned, In Progress, Blocked, and Done

• Task priorities, due dates, milestones, details, and linked notes or documents

• Dashboard metrics and daily-note task rollups

• Search within the current note or document and across the library

• Export tools for sharing or archiving your writing

• Adjustable themes, fonts, text sizes, styles, and colors

• Native Windows menus, dialogs, controls, and file handling

• Automatic recovery for unsaved work

STANDALONE WINDOWS RELEASE

The NoteForge installer includes everything needed to run the application on 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11. Users do not need LIDE, Lua, Visual Studio, or a separate runtime installation.

NoteForge is both a useful writing and planning tool and a showcase of an application made in LIDE using Lua.
