Description
Flotnote is a Markdown notepad that floats above every app on your Mac. Hit one shortcut, write the thought down, and get back to work. Every note is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose, so Obsidian and any other editor can open it right away. Full-text search, wiki-style links, tags, and several floating notes at once. No account, no servers, no subscription.
