FiveNotes

FiveNotes keeps the five things you need right now within instant reach.

Jot down an email address, phone number, recipe, meeting note, idea, or anything else you do not want to lose. Open FiveNotes from the menu bar or with a keyboard shortcut, then switch between your five notes with a click or shortcut.

Keep FiveNotes above other windows - even full-screen apps - for a compact reference sheet that is always there when you need it. Or detach it and use it like a regular, movable window.

Five notes. No clutter. The limit is intentional: FiveNotes helps you focus on what matters now instead of building another endless archive of notes.
