I wanted my notes with me wherever I work or travel, instead of leaving paper sticky notes on a wall. So I built Sideleaf: sticky notes tucked into the edge of my Mac. Hover to peek, click to write, then tuck them away. Quick notes, checklists and reminders, stored locally with no account. It also helps me use fewer paper sticky notes. macOS 26+. Try every feature free for 7 days, then unlock editing with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
