A temporary notes app for Mac. Keep quick notes, checklists, links, and copied text in one place without filling your notes app with temporary information.
Hold That is a temporary notes app for macOS.
It's designed for all the small things you need to remember for a little while, but don't want cluttering your notes app forever.
Capture:
Quick notes
Checklists
Links
Copied text
Quotes
Ideas
Reference numbers
Addresses
Measurements
Temporary reminders
Open Hold That from your menu bar whenever something pops into your head. Paste text from anywhere, jot down a quick task, or collect links while you research.
Your notes live in two simple tabs:
• Today — where you write and edit your notes.
• Yesterday — a read-only archive. Copy anything you want to keep before it's automatically removed.
No folders.
No tags.
No endless list of forgotten notes.
Hold That isn't meant to replace Apple Notes, Notion, Obsidian, or your knowledge base.
It's the place your thoughts stop before they find a permanent home.
Perfect for:
Collecting quotes while reading
Saving links during research
Holding text while filling out forms
Writing down tasks that pop into your head
Taking quick notes during calls
Keeping temporary information close while you work
