Notes that float.

Press Control Command N in any app and a note appears above everything. Write it down, press Escape, and you’re right back where you were.

Free for 3 notes. macOS 26 or later.

Always one keystroke away.

Press Control Command N from any app and your note floats above it. Press Escape and it’s gone, with your work right where you left it.

A note appears over Safari with one keystroke, then disappears with Escape.

Tucked into the edge of your screen.

Keep a small pill on any edge. Hover to peek at your notes, click to start writing. On a MacBook with a notch, the notch becomes the pill.

Hovering the pill on the screen edge shows a peek of your notes.
Notes growing out of the notch at the top of the screen.

Just write.

Markdown without the clutter. Headings, checklists, highlights and images look the way they should, and the symbols stay out of sight.

Questions.

Direct or App Store?

Same app, same price, same features. Direct updates arrive a little sooner, and you can install with Homebrew. On the App Store, Apple handles the purchase and any refund.

Where do my notes live?

On your Mac, synced through your own private iCloud. You can export them as Markdown files anytime.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s nothing to sign up for.

What happens after 3 notes?

Your notes stay yours to open, edit and export, as long as you like. To start a new one, delete a note or get Pro for unlimited notes.

Can I use Pro on more than one Mac?

Yes. One direct purchase works on up to three of your Macs. Moving to a new one? Deactivate the old Mac in Cirrus’s settings first.

Can I get a refund?

Bought direct? Within 14 days, just email contact@trycirrus.app. On the App Store, refunds go through Apple.

Is there an iPhone app?

It’s on the way, and it will sync with your Mac through iCloud.
