SideNotes – Screen Edge Notes
macOS / Productivité
SideNotes lives on the edge of your screen – always ready, never in the way.
Designed for momentary notes: tasks, ideas, phone numbers, links, quotes, screenshots, code snippets, recipes, vocabulary, colors.
SideNotes is a fast and lightweight notes app that opens from the side of your screen.
Click the Open Bar, move your cursor to the edge (Hot Side), or use a keyboard shortcut — and just start typing.
No need to create files or switch apps.
Just open SideNotes, hit +, and write.
