Question 9

What's the difference between Noticky and Apple Notes?

Accepted Answer

Apple Notes is a full-featured note app for long-form writing. Noticky is a sticky note app designed for quick capture — it floats above all windows including fullscreen apps, launches instantly with ⌘⇧N, and lives in the menu bar. They serve different use cases.

Question 10

What's the best sticky notes app for Mac?

Accepted Answer

Noticky is a native macOS menu bar app designed for power users who need instant note capture. Built with AppKit and SwiftUI (not Electron), it stays visible above fullscreen apps, supports Markdown WYSIWYG, syncs via iCloud, and launches instantly with a global hotkey (⌘⇧N). Noticky requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later and costs $6 one-time with no subscription.

Question 11

Can a sticky note stay on top of fullscreen apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Noticky stays visible above fullscreen apps on macOS using a specific window level. It launches instantly with ⌘⇧N and costs $6 one-time — the fastest and most affordable option for fullscreen sticky notes. Apple Stickies and Tot disappear in fullscreen. A few other apps like SideNotes also support fullscreen overlay, but Noticky's combination of speed, simplicity, and price is unique.

Question 12

How does Noticky compare to Apple Stickies?

Accepted Answer

Apple Stickies hasn't been updated in years and lacks 7 features Noticky includes: Markdown WYSIWYG, iCloud Sync across your Macs, global hotkey capture (⌘⇧N), smart tags with color coding, export to PDF/Markdown/TXT, fullscreen overlay (Always on Top), and Touch ID biometric lock. Noticky is a native macOS Sequoia replacement at $6 one-time.

Question 13

Is there a one-time purchase note app for Mac?

Accepted Answer

Noticky costs $6 one-time — no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account required. All future updates are included. Compared to alternatives like Craft ($5/month), Bear ($3/month), or Notion (freemium with limits), Noticky is the most affordable full-featured sticky note app for macOS.

Question 14

Does Noticky support Markdown?

Accepted Answer

Noticky includes full Markdown WYSIWYG: headers (H1–H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks, and inline code. All formatting renders live as you type with no preview mode or toggle. Content can be exported as .md, .pdf, or .txt files.
