SideNotes 1.3 — Quick Notes on Screen Side
SideNotes is a Markdown-based note-taking app for quick notes. More elegant than sticky notes, more agile, and more unobtrusive than big text editors. It lives on the screen side and appears when you need it.

Hi 👋
You like sticky notes? We kind of. But usually they are messy.
For quick daily notes we wanted to have something agile and nice (as most of our notes are short but urgent and must be taken immediately). Honestly, we couldn’t find anything good enough. Apps we used were either to complex and heavy or too poor and limited. And we just wanted to take simple and quick notes without loosing focus. So we thought: Ok, let’s make it our own way! And that’s how SideNotes was born. And now, we're celebrating the biggest update since the first release. 🥳
SideNotes keeps handy notes organized in folders. Each note may have a color. Format text using Markdown. Save tasks, pictures, colors (yes, it renders #rrggbb colors!), links and file shortcuts. Drop them or create a note right from the pasteboard content. Application might stay on top of other apps or be gently hidden until you need it. It simply saves thoughts from disappearing!
We use it daily and we love it. It will be our honor if you love it, too. 😊
@m_krzywonos I have dozens of urgent notes.. I use a lot of paper at work daily, but it would be better to kick this habit and start using your smart and user-friendly notes.
This would be great with a setting where it could only be triggered via shortcut keys, unfortunately i find it pretty annoying when triggered by the mouse...
@m_krzywonos this doesn't fix what i've mentioned... theres no option to disable mouse hover that I can seem to find
@puppycodes I'm not sure if I made myself clear. I meant Preferences -> Show or Hide Notes -> MenuBar Icon. That disables showing mouse by clicking on the Open Bar and moving cursor on the screen side. So then you can show the app by clicking on the menubar icon or using keyboard shortcut.
It's like a supercharged sticky notes. The markdown support was particularly useful for me. Congratulations @m_krzywonos 😃 🎉 Wish you growth.
Nice app. Good features. I will definitely try this out. Congrats on your product launch.
@sharlsz By default it's ctrl+opt+cmd+space but you can change it in Preferences
I'm a fan of the sticky notes! It's great to be able to put them together directly on an app, great project :)
