nvALT is a mac app (developed by brett terpestra) that would store notes in a directory (txt files) and you would type in a few words to search/find the file you wanted to edit, and if the search string didn’t exist, hit enter to create a new one (or cmd+N)

it was rather simple, and is reminisce of using fzf with telescope (<leader>fg for file grep, or <leader>ff for file search by filename). type in a few letters, select your match and hit enter to edit.
