Anchor them to a site, a document or an app: they come back in the right place, at the right time.
How it works
No folders to sort, no window to open: your notes live on the edge of the screen and come up when you need them.
01The rivet
A small brass rivet sits on the edge of your screen. Hover it: your notes fan out like a colour swatch book, without leaving what you’re doing.
Move it wherever you like: it snaps to the nearest edge.
02Note it
A price, an address, a booking reference: select it in any page and drop it on the rivet. It joins the fan straight away.
CtrlAltN new note
03Anchor
Anchor a note to a site, a page, a document, a folder or an app. A strip of washi tape marks it on the window, and it moves to the front of the fan as soon as you’re back.
CtrlAltA note anchored to the window
04Capture
A ticket, a table, a map: draw a rectangle, the piece peels off the screen and becomes a note, linked to the window it came from.
CtrlAltS area capture
05Find
A quick little left-right shake, and the notes that matter right now fan out around the pointer. For everything else, search goes through all your notes.
CtrlAltF all notes
Reminders
Each note’s bell offers nine ways to bring it back, once, every time, or from a given date. Pick a trigger to see an example.

Not the right time? The note flies off as a paper plane and comes back when you choose.
And also
A finished note gets its “DONE” stamp, or goes off as a ball of paper. Undo smooths it out again.
A forgotten note fades and its corners curl: what’s been lying around shows at a glance.
Each Windows desktop keeps its own notes: work on one side, holidays on the other.
If you like, your notes stay out of screen sharing and recordings.
Record a voice memo, sketch a map with the mouse or a pen, add an image.
