Sideleaf: Sticky Notes
Notes on your screen edge
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Sticky notes that wait at the edge of your Mac. Push your pointer to the side and your notes fan out. Try every feature free for 7 days, then pay once.
Sideleaf keeps your sticky notes on the edge of your screen, out of the way until you need them.
Push your pointer to the side of the screen and your notes fan out as colored tabs. Hover a tab to read a note without opening it. Click it to write in its own small window. Move away and the deck tucks back in.
ALWAYS ONE PUSH AWAY
• ⌥⌘N makes a new note from any app
• The deck works over full-screen apps and on every Space
• Choose the left or right edge, on any display
• Click the Dock icon to open All Notes, or hide the Dock icon in Settings
A WHOLE NOTES APP, TUCKED INTO THE EDGE
• All Notes: search every note on the left, edit it on the right
• Checklists, bullets and numbered lists that start as you type, with sub-items
• Drag to-dos into order with their sub-items
• Paste or drop pictures into a note
• Eight soft colors, in light and dark mode
• Archive notes instead of deleting them, and undo a delete for ten seconds
REMINDERS
Set a time on any note. When it's due, your Mac shows a notification and the note's tab slides out of the screen edge until you open it.
WORKS WITH YOUR MAC
• Shortcuts actions and Spotlight search
• Services menu: send selected text from any app to a new note
• Change any global shortcut in Settings
• Apple Intelligence writing help on Macs that support it: Tidy up, Fix spelling and grammar, and Turn into a checklist. It runs on your Mac.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no sign-in
• Notes are encrypted on your Mac, with the key kept in your keychain
• Nothing about your notes is sent over the network. No tracking, no ads
• Export any time as Markdown, plain text or rich text
PRICING
Sideleaf is free to download and includes a free 7-day trial of every feature. After the trial, editing notes needs a one-time in-app purchase, Unlock Sideleaf. There is no subscription. If you don't buy, nothing is deleted: your notes stay readable, searchable and exportable.
