Listed product details for Hold My Notes and Joonote
Detail Hold My Notes Joonote
Overview You can search titles, bodies, and tags, archive notes with a keystroke, and optionally sync through a folder in iCloud Drive. It supports Markdown and plain text, works over full-screen apps when enabled, and requires macOS 13 or later. The app's core innovation is its persistent notification system that transforms your notification panel into a functional workspace. Instead of treating notes as something buried in an app drawer, Joonote displays them as ongoing notifications that remain visible until you explicitly dismiss them. This makes it perfect for active tasks like shopping lists, quick reminders, step-by-step cooking instructions, or any information you need frequent access to throughout the day. The lock screen functionality means you can add items to your grocery list with one hand while carrying bags, or jot down thoughts during meetings without the obvious gesture of unlocking your phone and launching an app.
