Description
Lume is a native Windows notes app (WinUI 3, no Electron) that stays hidden until you need it. Shake your mouse or press a shortcut, write, and it's gone. Beyond quick notes: a scratchpad that does maths as you type and runs small Python, JS or PowerShell snippets, pen ink right on top of your text, and freehand boards next to your notes. Local-first, optional OneDrive sync. Free for up to 20 notes.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a custom native WinUI 3 desktop utility that captures global mouse shake gestures, sandboxes and executes multiple interpreted languages inline, and supports digital stylus ink requires specialized Windows OS systems programming.
What it would actually take: A real version requires deep Windows SDK/C# or C++ WinUI 3 engineering, implementing low-level OS hooks (WH_MOUSE_LL) to track velocity and detect shake gestures globally. It also requires integrating Windows InkCanvas alongside text layout engines, plus embedding secure, isolated runtimes for Python, Node.js, and PowerShell to evaluate code blocks safely without freezing the UI thread.
