New in 2.0: contextual notes that follow your apps. Keep text, images, and voice notes beside Zoom, Safari, Xcode, or Figma — hidden when you switch away.
Lucid Notes keeps notes where your work happens. Create a note beside Zoom, Safari, Xcode, Figma, or any Mac app. It appears when that app is active and hides when you switch away, so your desktop stays clean.
NOTES FOR EACH APP
Attach a note to any Mac app. Focus that app and its cards appear beside the front-most window. Switch apps and they fade out. Use ⌘⌥N to create a new note attached to whatever app you're in. Hit ⌘⇧H to hide every card before a screen share. Capture quick thoughts, attach images, or record voice memos with live waveform visualization right inside a card.
TELEPROMPTER MODE
Auto-scrolls your notes at a speed you control. Your talking points glide across the screen while you look at the camera. Switch to Notch Mode to read right next to your webcam — natural eye contact, zero awkwardness. Pause, resume, and seek with keyboard shortcuts.
TYPEWRITER MODE
The line you're typing stays locked to the center of the screen. Everything else fades into context. No scrolling, no drifting — just you and the next sentence.
ALWAYS ON TOP
The window floats over Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or any browser. Adjust transparency to see your notes and the content behind them at the same time. There when you need it, invisible when you don't.
