Always On Top Mac
Keep sticky notes always on top on Mac.Even in fullscreen.
Noticky gives you a real always-on-top note for macOS 15+. Pin reminders, checklists, and reference text above every app without tab switching or Space swiping.
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
Use a note overlay, not a general-purpose window hack.
Search Console is already telling you the problem space: people want an always-on-top workflow on Mac. Noticky solves the high-frequency use case directly: a lightweight note that never disappears while you work.
- Notes stay visible above fullscreen apps
- Menu bar app with no Dock clutter
- Markdown WYSIWYG for quick structured notes
