A few things worth knowing.
GlideNote is intentionally small in presence, not in capability.
Does GlideNote work on a display without a notch?
Yes. On a built-in display without a notch or on an external monitor, GlideNote appears at the top center and keeps the same hover-and-click flow.
Is GlideNote free?
Yes. Free includes three active tasks, iCloud sync, checklist reminders, and keyboard shortcuts. Pro removes the active task limit and unlocks folders, notch size, and panel customization (paper background, ink input, fonts, and text color), as a monthly or yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase.
Which macOS version do I need?
GlideNote requires macOS 15 or later.
Where are my notes stored?
Notes and tasks are stored on your Mac. When iCloud sync is on, they sync through Apple iCloud. GlideNote does not run its own server for your notes.
Is it only for quick notes?
It is quick to open, but the panel is a focused editor with text styles, checklists, and task switching for notes you keep working on.
Does GlideNote support keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. You can use shortcuts to create and switch tasks, open the task window, apply text styles, and more.
