Description
Sticky notes that follow your Mac apps. Attach text, images, or voice notes to an app; they appear when you return and hide when you switch. Keep coding reminders beside Xcode, feedback beside Figma, and talking points beside Zoom. Free contextual notes cover 3 apps, with 2 notes per app. Also includes transparent floating notes and 3 free teleprompter sessions per month. Optional Pro upgrades remove these limits.

Could you build this?
Partial While basic note UI is straightforward, anchoring floating contextual windows reliably to external third-party Mac applications requires native macOS accessibility, window server, and process monitoring APIs.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native Swift/macOS app utilizing NSWorkspace notifications to track active frontmost applications, the Accessibility API (AXUIElement) to track window bounds and positions, and CoreGraphics/AppKit for transparent floating overlay windows with local or CloudKit persistence.
