Notepad Python is a basic, free, lightweight notepad desktop application made entirely in Python. It offers a familiar interface for creating, editing, and managing plain text files, inspired by the simplicity of classic notepad apps found on Windows.

• Create, Open, Save, Delete Notes: Easily manage your text files using the menu options at the top ("Create", "Open", "Save", "Delete").
• Simple Styling: Changing font sizes, font styles, and font colors.
• Tabs: Which can be useful for having multiple files at once!
• Clean User Interface: Large, uncluttered writing area—perfect for quick notes and focused editing.
• Distraction-Free: Only the essential features you expect from a notepad app.
