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 press Esc — it’s gone. Beyond quick notes: a scratchpad that does maths as you type, freehand drawing on notes, and local-first storage with optional OneDrive sync. Free for up to 20 notes. Reading, search and export always stay free.

Could you build this?
Yes A native WinUI 3 desktop utility that listens for low-level mouse hooks to detect shaking gestures, renders a quick note overlay with math evaluation (like Mages or mathjs), and saves to local files/OneDrive.
