ShortRecto
Instant notes, one keystroke
Only for Mac
$1.99
Mac
Press ⌥⌘N. The note is already there.
No launching. No loading. No hunting for a window. The panel is built and loaded before you touch the keyboard, so the note appears the instant the key goes down - and ⌥⌘0 makes it vanish just as fast.
⌥⌘L brings back the one you were just in. Press the same shortcut again to close it.
WHAT IT DOES
- Saves as plain .txt, named after the first line. Rewrite that line and the file is renamed.
- Keeps the files in any folder you pick. Optional date at the front or the back: yyyyMMdd, ddMMyyyy or MMddyyyy.
- Pins five existing text files to ⌥⌘1-⌥⌘5, one keystroke each. Edits are written straight back to the original, and its name never changes.
- Floats above every window. Drag it anywhere; each slot remembers its own position and size.
- Font, text size, line spacing, text color, background color. Every shortcut can be reassigned.
- Lives in the menu bar. No Dock icon.
No lists. No folders. No search. No account, no sync, no network requests. Just text files you own.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Copy, Paste, Cut, Undo, Redo and Select All now work in the memo panel and
in Settings. ⌘C and ⌘V did nothing before this release.
- Settings shows all six tabs side by side again, instead of folding them into
an overflow menu on recent versions of macOS.
