Hello 👋 Product Hunters! I'm Gabriel and I'm really happy that I'm sharing my new macOS application 🖥 with you today called PopNotes! It all started from my own needs to have an instantly accessible note taking app, without being necessary to switch among windows or to open others apps in order to keep a note. What I wanted was a note app that would always be accessible with just one click right when I needed it, that would keep my notes organised and that would help me bring some order to my notes mess. So here we are: I built PopNotes as a solution to what I was looking for; a note-taking app that lives in the status bar (top bar) of the Mac so it's always there when I want it, and it contains some features I had imagined in the first place. Among others, PopNotes allows to: - Manage notes in categories - Synchronize on iCloud so sharing notes between Macs is easy - Export to iCloud Drive - Import and export from and to local folders - Customize note appearance - Apply note-specific settings - Switch among various display sizes ... and a bunch of other features! Definitely more features will be added to the future, as I'm full of additional ideas and plans about PopNotes! Deeply thank you 🙏 for looking at my app! I really want to offer a small, yet a useful app to all people working with a Mac computer, and I hope I've achieved it! I wish you love ❤️ PopNotes and that you will find a handy tool ⚒️here today. Enjoy!

It looks neat! Congrats on this launch! It's funny that I have the exact same frustration with searching for the notes app through all opened windows. What's even funnier is that I'm working on the exact same idea - quick notes accessible from the menu bar :)) *joking* My maker ego is hurt and I need several days to recover from this :)) Anyway, congrats I can't wait to try it.

@calin_crist First, my apologies for this late reply! Thanks a lot for your nice words, and I'm really sorry for making you feel bad. That wasn't my intention at all. I know how it feels because it has happened to me too! In any case, don't give up and I hope that your maker ego has recovered already! 😃

@gabriel_theodoropoulos Yeah, man, don't worry it was a joke :) Truth to be told I think it's very beneficial for both of us to have our ideas somehow validated. It means that we're both onto something. Cheers!

I have many menu bar notes apps. What makes this one stand out?

@mattbinder Hi Matt! In my opinion what makes it stand out is based on different criteria for each user. It depends on the features a user is looking for, usability, user experience, and so on. An app that stands out for me doesn’t mean that stands out for the guy next to me. That’s something I believe in general for all kind of apps. No matter if there are plenty of apps in a category, users have different preferences and tastes, so they might find something unique in places where others don’t. Good question 👍, thanks!

I am not fond of apps where you need to go out of your way to find the price, regardless of how small it is. A little transparency would go a long way!
