Ratings and Reviews
Great Note Taking App
I needed a note app to help me organize my thoughts on various work projects as well as keep track of to do lists and things like that. This app works really well on that front! The design of the notes is nice and simple. I like that you can choose to have your notes remain on top of all the other open apps/windows with the push of a button. I appreciated the trail but quickly payed for the full thing after trying it out for a bit.
If I could add one thing, I do wish that there was an option to have new notes be created in a cyclical color pattern like ROYGBIV. Right now you can only choose to have them start as a single color choice for all of them or random. Of course it's only a few button presses to change this, however as most of my notes are for different work projects it would be nice to ensure they are always coming out a different color than the last one for orginizational purposes.
All in all I am very happy with this app and highly recommend it.

Wow. Thanks for taking time to write such a lovely review!!
Also, regarding your suggestion, I think I will update "random" selection in such a way that every new color is picked up in a cyclical pattern as you suggested.
Cannot recommend this app enough!
UDPATE: I meant to update this a million years ago but the app store was being annoying and not letting me, but I digress. I contacted the developer about the issue not expecting a response at all. They responded and let me know when the title issue I had mentioned previously was fixed. So on top of the app being my most used, the developer s very attentive and nice! Shell out the reasonable price for this app if you are a constant note taker like myself!
I love this app and use it daily.
A bit of feedback about the 5.0.3 update and a humble request: In previous versions the popup tab list accessed via the menubar used to display the whole title of notes and adjusted the width accordingly. Now the width is fixed, and it cuts off the title of my notes in a weird way. The way it displays now makes it difficult for me to navigate my notes in an efficient way, and it also looks quite weird. Otherwise quick note was a 5 star app before this. I've been using quick note since 2022 so the update makes it a little disorientating in that regard.

Hey. Thanks for updating your rating. Can you please share me the screenshots of the issue on the same email for me to have a look? It is difficult to communicate here..
Good GTD Inbox
Back in the Palm days (yes I am THAT old!) there was a great little app that you could just open and wrtie whatever. Then, when you had time, you could highlight parts and with a tap send to tasks, valendar or ship off as a note via email or as a text. This app is not as complete but the closest I have been able to find. I keep a small window (each with different color) for work, Personal projects, and a daily task list. I typically put everything I think of in the daily task list unless it is work - related, then stick into the work window. When I have a chance, I can quickly review and either complete or stick in the appropriate calendar/reminder whatever app for completing later. There have been a couple of glitches (ghost images remain of text after I delete something - goes away when I close and re-open window, transperency not working as desired sometimes) but I have found it very useful as a GTD inbox. Just wish I could process text within the app.
