Pimo Notes

A tiny, always-on-top popup note editor for Windows. No task manager, no sidebar, no sign-in. Pop it up, write something, drop a screenshot, slide it away.

What it does

  • Always on top: Frameless draggable window that stays above other apps. Slide it to the side, minimize, or maximize.
  • Auto-save: Writes to disk every 5 seconds. Ctrl+S for manual save.
  • Pages: Create, navigate, and delete multiple note pages.
  • Drag and drop images: Drop images from Explorer or a browser tab. Stored as thumbnails with modal preview.
  • Export / Import: Full JSON backup and restore of all notes and images.
  • Single installer: Ships as a Windows NSIS .exe — one double-click to install.

Where to get it

Why I built it

I wanted a note that doesn't require a login or a subscription — just a window that stays on top while I work. Everything else I tried was either too heavy or desktop-only without drag-and-drop. Pimo is the minimal version: a frameless popup, auto-save, and image support. Nothing else.

  • Add repository metadata to package.json.
  • Create a CHANGELOG.md if you want to track versions.
  • Add CI (GitHub Actions) to build and optionally sign artifacts.
  • Add issue templates and contributor guidelines.

If you want, I can prepare a GitHub Actions workflow to automatically build installers on push or per-release (great next step).
