Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of Meteorite.
For a long time, I’ve wanted a faster way to capture short notes and snippets on macOS; something lighter than a full notes app, and immediate enough that writing something down doesn’t turn into a whole context switch.
Meteorite is a minimal menu bar note tool built around that idea. It opens instantly with a shortcut, stays out of the way, and focuses on quick capture without adding structure or overhead.
There are other menu bar note apps, but I wanted something truly keyboard-first and lightweight, fast enough that it feels almost invisible while still being powerful when you need it.
What I focused on:
• Instant access from anywhere
• Fully keyboard-driven workflow
• Markdown-style formatting
• Instant search
• Copy & export (including Apple Notes)
• Fully local, offline & lightweight (built with Tauri + Rust)
Pricing
• Core is free with unlimited notes.
• Pro is a one-time upgrade for advanced features ($7.99 launch, no subscription).
If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your feedback!
Are you planning to release also an iOS version with sync between Mac and iPhone? I would instantly make it my daily note app if that happens
Congrats on the launch! A truly frictionless capture tool in the menu bar is surprisingly hard to get right. How do you decide what not to add? With note apps, feature creep is almost inevitable, what’s your filter for keeping Meteorite minimal without users eventually asking for structure, folders, or tagging?
Just installed Meteorite and I love it. I’ve always missed that instant notepad experience from Windows and this brings it back perfectly on macOS. Super fast access, clean UI and smooth keyboard shortcuts. It already fits into my daily workflow.
That is something that could be really helpful for me! I already payed for the pro version! I always had scattered txt files across the computer.
hi @flaskshade "Fast enough that it feels almost invisible" that's a great design north star. The difference between a 200ms and a 800ms open time is the difference between "I'll jot this down" and "I'll remember it later" (spoiler: you won't).
Curious about the Apple Notes export.. is it a one-way push, or can you pull notes back from Apple Notes into Meteorite? Bi-directional sync with Apple Notes would be a killer feature for people who want quick capture on Mac but access on iPhone later.
