## What it is
|
|
|
|
Whisp is a small note-taking app for GNOME, meant as a desktop scratchpad. There are no titles, files or folders: you open it and type. Notes sit side by side on a canvas you swipe through with the touchpad, Markdown renders as you write, and `Ctrl+D` deletes a note when you're done with it. Pasting an image with text in it runs OCR offline and inserts the text.

|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **Faster than a notes app.** Phone numbers, links and half-formed ideas go somewhere without deciding where.
|
|
- **Fits GNOME.** It's built with GTK4 and libadwaita, so it looks and behaves like the rest of the desktop.

## On CoreDesktop
|
|
|
|
CoreDesktop installs Whisp as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
