About FiveNotes

FiveNotes is a lightweight app, designed for quick, efficient note taking. It offers exactly 5 notes, which motivates the users to prioritize information and keep their notes clean. The app can be found in the menubar, allowing its users to jot down ideas and snippets instantly, without disrupting their workflow. The window may be shown by clicking the menubar icon or pressing a keyboard shortcut. FiveNotes floats over the other apps, even those in full-screen mode, which allows users to take notes while working with other applications. The app is ideal for users who need to capture fleeting thoughts while working, learning, browsing.

The app was initially released in 2017 under the name of "Quick" back then. Later that year (July), it was renamed to "FiveNotes" and released as 2.0. After that, a few minor versions have been released. FiveNotes 3.0 has been the biggest update so far.

What’s New in FiveNotes 3.0:

  • User Interface Redesign: The User Interface has been redesigned and polished. Now, the notes can be in new different colors.
  • Themes: Users can now choose from variety of themes and create their own ones using ThemeEdit - a new free application available on Apptorium' website.
  • iCloud Synchronization to synchronize all your notes across your Apple devices. Now, the app also synchronizes notes with iOS and iPadOS thanks to FiveNotes Mobile.
  • Automatic Backups: The app does backups automatically, so even if a user mistakenly deletes their notes, they can be restored.
  • Expanded Markdown Support: new Markdown features, including task checkboxes and enhanced text formatting options.
  • Customizable Appearance to personalize your note-taking with adjustable themes and note colors.
  • Detaching the App Window: The app window may now be detached and moved to any place on the screen.
  • Integration with Apple Shortcuts and AppleScript: Automate your workflow with Shortcuts actions, AppleScriptAPI and URL-based API.
