Why Noticky
Noticky is a native macOS menu bar app designed for power users who need instant note capture. Built with AppKit and SwiftUI (not Electron), it stays visible above fullscreen apps, supports Markdown WYSIWYG, syncs via iCloud, and launches instantly with a global hotkey (⌘⇧N). Noticky requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
Yes. Noticky stays visible above fullscreen apps using a specific macOS window level. Apple Stickies and Tot disappear in fullscreen. SideNotes and Quick Sticky Notes also support fullscreen, but use different approaches (sidebar drawer and floating windows respectively).
Apple Stickies hasn't been updated in years and lacks features Noticky includes: Always on Top above fullscreen apps, private notes hidden from screen sharing, Sticky Screenshot overlays, checklist notes, Markdown WYSIWYG, iCloud Sync, global hotkey capture, smart tags, export, and Touch ID biometric lock.
Depending on your region and setup, Noticky may be available through the Mac App Store, Setapp, or direct checkout. The current path is shown in the download flow.
Noticky includes full Markdown WYSIWYG: headers (H1–H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks, and inline code. All formatting renders live as you type with no preview mode or toggle. Content can be exported as .md, .pdf, or .txt files.
Yes. Noticky now goes beyond plain sticky notes: selected screenshots can become floating image overlays, shared images from the macOS Share menu can open directly in Noticky, clipboard images can stay on screen with opacity and click-through controls, private notes can stay hidden from recordings, and PopClip can turn selected text into a new note instantly.
