GlyphNotes
A downloadable app
GlyphNotes is a simple notetaking app for the Playdate handheld. You can create books which have pages in them to keep your notes! Each page is infinitely tall! There are currently 4 fonts to choose from with more to be added.
All data is stored as JSON files on the Playdate and can be edited/viewed from a computer. Editing some of the JSON data by hand could potentially corrupt your data, so proceed with caution when editing.
This app is in active development(alpha) and there is a small chance existing data could be corrupted in future releases.
However, the current build is very stable and only remains in alpha due to a couple small features not having been implemented yet:
- Editing the page count of books after having created them (currently the page count for books caps at 99 and whatever you set when creating the book cannot be changed after creating the book)
- Checkbox lists.
- More Fonts
If anyone has any interesting suggestions for GlyphNotes please let me know in the comments section! Enjoy :D

I have sideloaded it to my Play Date. The pre selected font is unreadable on first start. However, I was able to change it in the settings. All other font options work fine.
oh ha! I forgot that was the default font!. that is a font that my partner design. its readable... if you know how to read it 😅
Yeah, I noticed that. They look like glyphs, but somehow I knew what the words meant :D
Its basically just letters written left handed and also backwards ;) I updated the default font to be medieval in the latest version!
Can't wait to try this! My dream is to hook up a nice mechanical keep to this thing. I saw a project on GitHub(?) where they made a special doc to handle the usb c stuff etc....lots of stages :) I know there is "non-user" accessible bluetooth on the PD so maybe that could work with this? Anyway, good work! looking forward to trying it out.
I am also very interested in the prospect of using the usbc port for connecting peripherals. Thanks for downloading and hope you enjoy. Please let me know if you have any issues.
