Widget first

Your note, already on the screen.

Most notes apps make you go find your note. NoteNimbus puts it in a real widget on your Mac desktop and your iPhone and iPad Home Screen, so it’s readable at a glance without opening anything at all.

🖥️

A real Mac desktop widget

Not a floating window you have to manage. A native macOS widget that sits on your desktop, shows your note, and opens it for editing the moment you click it.

📱

On your Home Screen

Add the widget to your iPhone or iPad Home Screen in small, medium, or large. Your note is there next to your apps — one tap to jump straight into editing.

🔄

Always showing the real thing

The widget isn’t a stale snapshot. It follows your note as you type, picks up your note’s color, and refreshes when another device makes a change.

Seven note colors, seven fonts, and text size you can nudge up or down.

🪟

Sits how you like

Pin it on top, let it fall behind, dial down the opacity, or collapse it to a sliver.

And the small stuff that adds up

The details you only notice when they’re missing.

Global hotkey. ⌘N brings the note up from anywhere on your Mac.

Launch at login. Ready and waiting every time you start up.

Save as .txt. Export a plain-text copy anywhere on your drive.

Live word count. Quietly tracked in the corner as you write.

Collapse to a title bar. Tuck the note away without closing it.

Adjustable transparency. Let your desktop show through behind it.

Insert date & time. One shortcut drops in a timestamp.

Automatic sync backups. If two devices ever disagree, your text is kept, not overwritten.

Built-in help. Every feature explained inside the app, on both platforms.

🔒

Private by design

There’s no account to create and no server of ours in the middle. Your note lives on your device, and if you turn on sync it travels through your own iCloud account under Apple’s privacy terms. We never see what you write.
