Notes

Quick notes that live in your notch

Jot down a thought the second it crosses your mind, straight from the shelf. Notes auto-save as you type with live markdown, sort by last edit, and reopen exactly where you left off, standalone or paired with another widget.

What it does

  • Capture a note in one click, straight from the shelf
  • Live markdown editing with smart lists, headings, and tables
  • Notes auto-save as you type and sort by last edit
  • Works standalone or alongside other widgets in your Custom Shelf
  • Reopen any note exactly where you left off

How to use it

  1. Open a note in one click from the shelf, or bind a shortcut that jumps straight into it. The cursor lands in the text, so you can just type.
  2. It is live markdown: lists, headings and tables format as you write. A formatting toolbar is optional.
  3. Notes auto-save, sort by last edit, and reopen exactly where you left off. Pin the one you keep coming back to.

Where it shows up

  • Shelf widget
  • Lock screen
  • Global shortcut
  • Ring action
  • Droppy for iPhone

The lock screen chip shows the note count and the latest note's title.

Workflows

The scratchpad that is always there

Everything you would put in an untitled TextEdit window goes here instead, and it is still there tomorrow, on the shelf, and on your phone.

Write on the Mac, read on the phone

Notes sync through Droppy Sync end to end encrypted, and a note written on the iPhone is on the shelf by the next pass.

Tips

  • The Ring has a New note action, which is the shortest path from a thought to a note.
  • Turn on Grow canvas with longer notes so a long note gets more room instead of a smaller scroll area.
  • The lock screen chip shows the note count and the latest title.
