| Hi HN, I made JotDown, it's a small macOS menubar extension for quickly adding notes to Apple Notes. Why: I often want to take quick notes and only put it in apple notes if I need that text later on. I wanted something lightweight, always accessible, and integrated with the native Notes ecosystem. How it works:
Menubar shortcut — Launch a popup from menubar to type text.
AppleScript — It uses AppleScript to save the note into Apple Notes.
If the Notes app isn’t running, it can either launch it in the background (via AppleScript) or
Shortcuts integration — I can save notes without launching Notes app at all, via the “Create Note” action in Apple Shortcuts. Some features:
Custom keyboard shortcuts — To open the popup instantly.
Popup window — I can launch the note entry popup as a window that can be pinned to float over other windows. Looking for feedback: Does this kind of tool fit into your workflow?
Any features you’d like to see added?
