# Quietpad App Information

Quietpad is a small offline-first PWA for plain-text scratch notes. It is built
for people who want a fast browser scratchpad without accounts, cloud sync, or
rich-text complexity.

## What Quietpad Does

- Creates and edits many plain-text notes.
- Persists notes locally in browser IndexedDB.
- Autosaves while typing.
- Opens new notes from `/new`.
- Opens existing notes from `/note/:id`.
- Supports quick note switching, search, sorting, pinning, duplication, import,
  export, and deletion.
- Provides a seven-day local recovery window for deleted notes and retained
  history snapshots.
- Uses a service worker so the app shell works offline after the first
  successful visit.
- Coordinates same-note editing across tabs with a soft lock.

## What Quietpad Does Not Do

- It does not create accounts.
- It does not store note content on a server.
- It does not sync notes between devices.
- It does not provide collaborative editing.
- It does not provide rich-text formatting.

## Privacy And Storage

User note content stays in the browser's local storage systems, primarily
IndexedDB. Deploying or crawling the public website does not expose user notes.
The public site describes the application only.

## Indexing Guidance

The root page `/` is the public app entry point and can be indexed. The `/new`
route is an action route, and `/note/:id` routes refer to private local notes;
those routes should not be indexed as public content.
