HushNotes

HushNotes is sticky notes for your Mac: they float on top of every app, and they live on your Mac, with no account and no server of ours.

Keep notes open during calls and demos without worrying about your screen share. Note windows use macOS's own window-sharing setting, so they stay out of screen shares and recordings while you still see them (tested in Google Meet and Zoom in the browser).

Save text from any app: select it and press Option Shift Space, and it lands in your notes without leaving the app you are in. Floating notes stay above every window while you work. Search every note from the Shelf, and lock the private ones with Touch ID.

For developers, an optional local connection lets Claude Code, Cursor or Codex read your notes and create new ones, but never edit or delete them.
