Purr Notes
Markdown, tasks & local AI
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Purr is a notes app that lives on the edge of your screen. Click the thin bar on the side, or the icon in your menu bar, and your notes slide in. Click away and they slide out. Purr stays out of your way until you need it, even over full-screen apps.
CAPTURE IN ONE KEYSTROKE
Press ⌘⇧Space in any app. Type your thought, pick a folder and press ⌘↩. You never leave what you were doing.
MARKDOWN THAT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
Write in plain Markdown and watch it render as you type: headings, bold, quotes, code blocks, images and math. No preview pane, no mode switch.
TASKS FROM YOUR NOTES
Type "- [ ]" anywhere and it becomes a task. Purr collects every open task from every note in one Tasks view, grouped and ready to check off.
CONNECTED NOTES
Link notes with [[wiki links]] and jump between ideas. Organize everything with spaces, folders and #tags.
VOICE NOTES
Record a voice note and Purr transcribes it on your Mac. No audio leaves your computer.
FRIDA: PRIVATE AI ON YOUR MAC
Frida is an optional AI assistant that runs fully on-device. Ask questions across all your notes and get answers with sources. Summarize long notes and pull out to-dos from meetings. Frida works offline, and your notes are never sent to an AI server.
MAKE IT YOURS
Pick from many hand-tuned themes, light and dark. Choose your fonts, your panel side and your shortcuts.
SYNC AND EXPORT
Your notes sync across your Macs with your own iCloud account. Export them to an Obsidian vault or to Apple Notes, on a schedule you choose. Find any note from Spotlight.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. Purr collects no data.
PRICING
Purr is free for up to 20 notes, with every feature included. Unlock unlimited notes forever with a single purchase. No subscription.
