Noctis

Privacy-first local AI journaling app with a multi-tab editor, offline Ollama companion, image support, and built-in crisis-resource access.

Overview

Noctis is a Windows desktop journaling application designed around local privacy and offline AI support. It provides a multi-tab notepad, auto-save tracking, find-and-replace, image insertion, custom fonts, and an optional local AI companion powered by Ollama and llama3.2:3b. The app is positioned as supportive journaling software, not clinical advice, and includes mental-health crisis resources for India and global users.

Problem solved

Many journaling and AI-note tools send user data to cloud systems, which can be uncomfortable for private thoughts, mental-health notes, or sensitive personal writing.

What it does

Provides a local desktop journaling workspace with multi-tab notes, image support, find-and-replace, optional offline AI responses, summarization, grammar support, and built-in crisis-resource access.

Contribution

Built as a hands-on local AI desktop software project, covering product concept, Python desktop implementation, Ollama integration, privacy-first workflow, editor features, and testing.
