Everything lives in Apple Notes, so it syncs through iCloud. It floats over full-screen apps and every Space without stealing focus, with a Raycast-style command panel, a notes browser that searches titles and contents, Apple Notes formatting with the same shortcuts, and save-as-you-type sync. A dependency-free Swift app built with Xcode 26 for macOS 26+.
