About

TackNote is a context-aware note-taking application for macOS that pins notes to specific windows, tabs, documents, folders, conversations, or tasks. Unlike traditional sticky note apps that display all notes on the desktop simultaneously, TackNote associates each note with a particular digital context. A note appears only when the user is actively viewing the associated item and automatically hides when switching away, returning when the user comes back. This approach aims to reduce desktop clutter and ensure that notes are presented at the relevant moment. The application offers four content types within each note: standard text notes, to-do lists, split views, and a sketch pad. Notes can be anchored at different levels of integration depending on the application. At the window level, TackNote works with every macOS app without setup, showing a note when the associated window is active. For supported applications, deeper integration scopes notes to the exact tab, file, folder, or conversation. Full integration is available for web versions of apps such as Teams, Outlook, Slack, and Notion when used in a browser, allowing notes to scope to the exact tab or file. Deep integration provides scoping to the exact item with a reveal function that jumps back to it. Basic integration scopes to the exact conversation or folder, while window-level integration anchors to the app window. A TackBoard feature provides a corkboard organizer with project folders for managing multiple notes. Typical use cases include leaving a reminder on a specific Google Sheet, with different notes appearing when switching between sheets. Users can anchor talking points to a particular iMessage conversation, attach notes to a Finder folder, a ClickUp task, a Discord thread, or a DaVinci color page. The workflow involves pressing a customizable keyboard shortcut to pin a note to the current window, tab, document, or conversation. The note then vanishes when the user switches contexts and reappears upon return. Notes persist through application quit, relaunch, system reboot, and Space switches. TackNote offers a 14-day free trial without requiring a credit card.
