About SideNotes
SideNotes is a native macOS note app that lives on the edge of your screen, so you can reveal notes instantly without covering your main workspace. It is built for quick capture, lightweight organization, and distraction-free retrieval when you need reference text, tasks, or snippets while working in other apps. With folders, markdown support, and always-nearby access, SideNotes is a practical upgrade over scattered sticky notes and tab-hopping.
