THE LITTLE THINGS
Make room
for a good idea.
Somewhere to catch it.
Somewhere to come back to.
Your notes, tasks and deadlines.
Right there on your Mac, when you need them.
That note you meant to revisit. The list hiding behind six windows. The deadline you’d like to keep an eye on.
Give each one a little space of its own. Open a card from your menu bar, or bring it onto your desktop. Keep the useful bits close, and get on with your day.
A place for the plan.
And everything
around it.
Notes and next steps, together. Tick a few things off and try a different colour.
A playful web preview. Your demo changes stay in this page and reset when you reload.
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN AN IDEA AND DONE
A clear next step is a lovely place to start.
One task. Its own space. A few different ways to keep it close.
Open the Notes browser with a click. Find all, recent, pinned and open notes, or give a note its own menu-bar icon with a title, progress, percentage or countdown.
Open a note beside your work. Pin individual notes above other apps, drag cards together into groups or arrange them in a grid.
Choose colours, icons and fonts, and set the default size for new notes. Format text, preview Markdown and turn a dash followed by a space into a clickable checklist.

Your lists, notes and next steps.
The current app has updated branding and a refreshed Notes browser.
Keep notes in My Notes or your own folder of files. Organise links from different locations in virtual folders, without moving the originals. No app account required.
Import .md and .txt notes into a list, connect your own folder or link existing files in virtual folders.
Export separate Markdown files in a ZIP, organised by list, with a summary report.
Back up notes, formatting and settings to JSON. Restore to a separate recovered notes folder after a safety backup, leaving your current files untouched.
Simple tools.
Straight answers.
Desktop Sticky Notes & Memos is built for Mac and requires macOS 26 or later. The core notes, checklists and reminder features don’t require Apple Intelligence.
Choose My Notes or a folder of Markdown and text files. Files stay editable in other apps. Virtual folders can organise links to files and folders from different locations without moving their originals. No app account is required, and there is no built-in cloud sync. JSON backups preserve notes, formatting and settings; restores create a separate recovered notes folder. Markdown ZIP export provides readable files organised by list.
Yes. Import .md or .txt files into a list, or choose a folder workspace to work directly with .md, .markdown and .txt files. External edits appear in your cards. Drag cards together into a group, then switch between them in the sidebar or pull one back onto the desktop.
The optional assistant uses Apple’s on-device model to help rewrite selected text. You review the suggestion before inserting or replacing anything. It needs a compatible Mac, Apple Intelligence enabled, a supported language and the model available. macOS Dictation is available separately, subject to your system settings and permissions.
Set a due date, display a countdown and enable advance reminders, with optional daily or weekly notification repeats. These repeat reminders, not tasks. Delivery depends on your macOS notification settings and permission.
Start a free 14-day trial, then choose a one-time full unlock. There is no subscription or automatic conversion. Existing notes remain readable and exportable after the trial. The Mac App Store currently lists the app as JotStack; visit it for current prices and availability.
