The sticky note Apple forgot to build.

SNOTE floats on top of every screen, every monitor, every tab — staring at you until you actually do the thing.

v1.0.0 · Free forever. Open source. Drag it to Applications — no account, no "onboarding journey." Intel Mac? This one.

THE INVISIBLE PROBLEM

Your notes app is where tasks go to die.

Every sticky app makes the same mistake: the note disappears into a tab. Buried under 500 other tabs. A sticky note has exactly two jobs — be visible, and stick. Physical ones are neon for a reason. Digital ones forgot both jobs.

SNOTE didn't.

A graveyard of dead tabs — and one glowing sticky note

THE TRICK NOBODY BOTHERED TO SHIP

Google Meet can hover over your desktop. Your to-do list couldn't. Until now.

3 monitors. 500 tabs. Still there. Still judging.

A CONTROVERSIAL DESIGN DECISION

SNOTE happily tearing itself in half — task complete

We removed the save button. On purpose.

Saving a sticky note is procrastination with extra steps. A note you can file away is a note you'll never read again. SNOTE v1 gives you one option: do the thing, then tear it up.

(v2 has a save button, for the cowards. Where does the file go? Honestly, we don't know either.)
