Glass Stickies
Floating notes from any app
Only for Mac
$2.99
Mac
Jot a note from any app with one shortcut. Frosted stickies float above your work, format as you type with Markdown and a / menu, and stay private on your Mac.
Glass Stickies puts sticky notes one keystroke away. Press Control-Option-Command-N in any app and a note appears, ready to type. It saves as you write, so you can get straight back to what you were doing.
NOTES THAT STAY OUT OF THE WAY
• Clear notes are frosted glass: your desktop shows softly through them.
• Seven paper colours, from Butter and Mint to Graphite. Text turns white on dark notes automatically, in light and dark mode.
• Keep a note on top of every window, or let it sit behind your work until you need it.
• Hide a note with one click. It is never deleted, and it comes back from the menu bar.
• Hide Stickies puts every sticky away; Show Stickies brings back exactly the ones you hid.
WRITE FAST, WITHOUT A TOOLBAR
• Markdown as you type: # for a heading, - for a list, [] for a to-do, **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~ and `code`.
• Type / for a menu of headings, to-do lists, bulleted and numbered lists, quotes and dividers.
• Select text and a small formatting bubble appears with bold, italic, links and more.
• Click a checkbox to tick it off.
• Keyboard shortcuts for every style, all listed in the Format menu and in Settings.
• Choose a typeface for each note (Sans, Serif, Rounded or Mono) and a text size.
FIND ANYTHING
• Search every note from the menu bar, or open the larger search window.
• The Notes window lists every note with a sidebar you can filter (On Desktop, Hidden, Kept on Top) and sort.
• Dates stay calm: a time for today, "Yesterday", a weekday, then the date.
NOTHING GETS LOST
• Version history keeps earlier versions of each note, and you can restore any of them.
• Deleted notes go to Recently Deleted first, with Undo. You decide whether it empties after 7 days, 30 days or never.
• Export every note as Markdown and Rich Text files plus a backup you can import on another Mac.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• Your notes are stored only on your Mac.
MADE FOR THE MAC
• Lives in the menu bar, with no Dock icon until you open the Notes or Settings window.
• Set your own global shortcuts for a new note, show or hide stickies, search, and the Notes window.
• Optional launch at login, off until you turn it on.
• Works on macOS 15 and later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
One price, no subscription, no in-app purchases and nothing locked.
