Built for fullscreen

Most pin-window tools stop at regular desktop windows. Noticky is built to keep notes visible above fullscreen apps and across Spaces.

Instant capture

Press Cmd+Shift+N from anywhere, type, press Enter, and keep moving. No Dock icon. No heavy launcher flow.

Real note workflow

Use Markdown, templates, tags, reminders, Touch ID lock, and iCloud Sync instead of forcing a generic window manager into a note-taking job.

Why Noticky

Better fit than classic pin-window tools.

Noticky is purpose-built for notes, not generic window management. It keeps reminders, checklists, and reference text visible while you work, even in fullscreen.
