Mirage: Quick Note Scratchpad
Floating memo pad on a hotkey
Only for Mac
$1.99
Mac
For the notes that only need to live five minutes: press a hotkey, jot, close — gone for good. Nothing is ever written to disk.
Mirage is a quick note scratchpad that appears over any app with one hotkey — and erases itself when you close it. Like a mirage, nothing was ever there.
PERFECT FOR
• Phone numbers, codes, and addresses you need for the next five minutes
• Rewording a sentence before you paste it
• Notes during screen sharing or recording — nothing is saved, nothing leaks
• Clearing your head without cluttering your real notes app
HOW IT WORKS
• Press ⌃⌥Space anywhere — the memo appears on the screen your mouse is on
• Type freely — the window grows with your content
• Press the shortcut again (or ESC / ⌘W) — the memo closes and the content is erased
• Focus returns to the app you were using, even over full-screen apps
SAFETY NET
• Closed by accident? Reopen and press ⌘Z to restore the last memo
• Optional: copy the memo to the clipboard as it closes (off by default)
TRULY PRIVATE
• Notes are never written to disk, synced, or transmitted
• No account, no network access, no analytics, no permission prompts
• There is nothing to delete, because nothing is ever stored
LIGHT AND FAST
• 1.2 MB, zero background load — the window is created once and reused, so it appears instantly
• Works over full-screen apps, across Spaces and monitors
• Customizable shortcut, font size, launch at login, menu bar icon
• Comfortable monospaced typing with Fira Code, plus Pretendard for Korean
Requires macOS 13 or later.
