TackNote is a sticky notes app for Mac that actually pays attention. Instead of piling up on your desktop, notes pin to the exact window, tab, or folder they belong to — and only show up when you're looking at that thing. Switch away, and the note steps aside. Come back, and it's right where you left it. No account needed, no subscription — just notes that finally make sense.

  • Pin reminders to a browser tab

  • Track to-dos inside any project

  • Sketch quick ideas on any window

  • Never lose a note again

TackNote features


Context-aware pinning

A note on your staging site shows up only when that browser tab is open. A note on a Notion project appears only when you're in it. TackNote quietly tracks the window, tab, or folder behind each note, so your notes find you instead of the other way around.


Five ways to capture a thought

Every note can hold plain text, a checklist with live progress tracking, a split layout for side-by-side info, a quick sketch, or a voice capture. Switch between them without starting over.


TackBoard

Zoom out and see every note at once. TackBoard lays your notes out like a corkboard, organized into projects and folders, fully searchable — text, checklists, labels, even voice transcripts.


Voice memos, transcribed on-device

Record a quick voice note right inside TackNote. Right-click the playhead to transcribe it and drop the text straight into your note — transcription happens on-device, stays private, and is fully searchable later.


Smart reminders

Set a reminder for a specific time, or ask TackNote to nudge you next time you open something. A quiet badge keeps track, so nothing slips through.


Built for privacy

Every note is encrypted end-to-end, with the key stored in your Mac's Keychain. No account, no cloud storage of your notes — just you and your Mac.
