Quick Note sticky notes floating above a Mac desktop, with the menu bar menu open

A new note is never more than a click away

Capture the thought the moment you have it — from wherever you already are.

  • AppleScript
  • Terminal
  • Always in sight

    Notes float on top of every other app, so what you wrote down stays in front of you instead of behind six windows.

  • Colors that mean something

    Give every note its own color — groceries in purple, the call-back number in pink — and find it again at a glance.

  • Rich text, fast

    Headings, bold, highlight, checklists and links — all on keyboard shortcuts, so you never break your flow to hunt through a menu.

  • iCloud sync

    Notes are backed up to your iCloud account and kept in sync across every Mac you sign in on. Your notes survive the hardware.

Built for people who don't reach for the mouse

Format, organise and move text with the shortcuts you already know from every other Mac app.
