Notes

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Görkem. I built Flyout because I kept losing thoughts between windows. A phone number mid-call. A "book the table" while planning a weekend. A line worth keeping from an article. The thought always went… somewhere — a sticky note behind a window, a message to myself, a Notes window I had to go find. The note survived; the moment didn't. So Flyout lives on the edge of your screen. Rest your pointer on the right edge — or press ⌥⌘N — and a full editor flies out over whatever you're doing. Step away and it slides back. The part I care about most: it's a real editor, not a scratchpad. Type / for headings, checklists and quotes. Attach a reminder to a single line and macOS nudges you at the right moment. Drag notes into folders, pin what matters, search everything. And if you write code, there are syntax-highlighted code blocks too — underneath, every note is plain Markdown you can take anywhere. Some decisions I'd love pushback on: • Native AppKit + SwiftUI, not Electron. The editor surface is a WKWebView (TipTap is the best editor I know) — the shell, the menu bar and the storage are all Swift. • iCloud sync runs through your own account. Your notes never touch my servers — I couldn't read them if I wanted to. • Folders are flat on purpose. No nesting. One obvious hierarchy beats three confusing ones. • Lifetime license, no subscription — $24, currently $18. A year of updates is included; renewing is optional and the app never stops working. Caveats, up front: macOS 14 Sonoma or later. No iOS app yet — that's next. No shared or team notebooks, and that's a permanent architectural choice (private iCloud sync), not a roadmap item. Free 7-day trial, no account needed: https://getflyout.app I'll be around all day. I'd love to hear where a thought goes today when both your hands are full — and where Flyout breaks for you.
