Antinote 2.1.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesAntinote 2.1.0 for Mac is a small scratchpad built for the notes you need for twenty minutes, not forever. Press its global hotkey, Option-A by default, and a clean window appears over whatever you are doing, ready for a thought, a phone number, a snippet or a quick sum, then disappears again just as fast.
It is sold direct from its official site for a one-time $5 with lifetime updates, and a free trial is available without creating an account, so it is not a free full version and there is no subscription to manage. It needs macOS 14 or later, stores notes locally, and offers optional iCloud sync that you switch on yourself.
Key Features
- Global hotkey capture from any app, with Dock, menu bar or dropdown window styles
- Keyword modes on the first line: math, list, sum, avg, count, code and timer
- Inline calculations with currency, distance and weight conversions as you type
- Plain-text paste that strips formatting, plus AutoPaste and screenshot-to-text OCR
- Swipe navigation between temporary notes, with nine pinned slotted notes that never expire
How to Download
- Download from the official site
- Start the free trial from that page, or buy the one-time licence if you want to keep it.
- Open the downloaded file, move Antinote to Applications, launch it and set your preferred hotkey.
Is Antinote a replacement for Apple Notes or Obsidian?
No. It has no folder tree or shared documents and is deliberately temporary. Anything worth keeping can be exported as text, Markdown or PDF, or sent on to Apple Notes, Obsidian or Bear.
Is Antinote free?
No. There is a free trial, after which Antinote costs $5 once, with lifetime updates included. It is also available through the Setapp subscription catalogue as a separate option.
