About:
SideNotes is a minimalist note-taking application designed for macOS. It allows users to quickly capture thoughts via a transparent, always-on-top interface that slides in from the screen edge. The tool focuses on speed and accessibility, enabling productivity without disrupting the current workflow.
Key Features:
  • Transparent, overlay-style interface
  • Markdown support for formatting
  • Instant search and quick capture
  • Organized into projects and categories
Use Cases:
  • Capturing temporary information like URLs or code snippets
  • Maintaining a daily scratchpad or meeting notes
  • Storing quick reminders accessible via hotkey
Alternatives:
  • Apple Notes – Native and free, but lacks the transparent overlay and speed-focused UI.
  • Drafts – More powerful automation and action features, but operates as a standard windowed app.
