André Weller

André Weller is an independent German developer who concentrates on minimalist, privacy-first productivity tools that distill complex workflows into a single, keyboard-driven window. His catalog is currently anchored by “linked”, a lightweight journaling and note-taking application that automatically attaches every thought to the calendar day on which it was written. Built with Electron and open-sourced under the MIT license, the program behaves like a private timeline: each daily entry is saved as plain Markdown in a local folder of the user’s choice, ensuring complete ownership of data and friction-free sync through any cloud provider. Typical use cases range from gratitude diaries and software stand-up logs to research lab notebooks and micro-blogging without the social noise. A global hotkey summons the interface, a blinking cursor invites rapid capture, and a discreet sidebar lets the reader jump between dates or search full-text across months. Because storage is file-based, entries can be edited in any external Markdown editor, converted to static sites with Hugo, or processed further by Python scripts. The roadmap hints at plugins for habit tracking and encrypted sharing, but the core philosophy remains: one thought, one day, one file. André Weller’s software is available for free on get.nero.com; downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the latest release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
