NotchNote: context-aware macOS notch memo and todo app

NotchNote is a free, local-first macOS notch memo and todo app for people who want notes to stay attached to the app, browser tab, file, folder, project, or session that created the thought.

Who NotchNote is for

NotchNote is for Mac users who frequently lose the reason behind a note after switching apps, browser tabs, documents, files, folders, or projects. It is especially relevant for students, developers, researchers, designers, writers, and operators who capture small decisions and todos while working.

Main benefits

• Capture a thought without leaving the current Mac workflow.
• Preserve the context that explains why a note matters.
• Keep a memo visible with pinned windows while finishing the task.
• Turn quick capture into organized categories, todos, linked notes, and completed history later.
• Use local-first notes and settings without creating a NotchNote account.
