SideNotes, from Apptorium, is a notes app that lives on the edge of your Mac screen. Move your pointer to the side, click, or press a shortcut, and your notes slide out over whatever you are working in — no app switching, no losing your place. SideNotes 1.6.6 for Mac is built for capturing thoughts, tasks, links and snippets in the moment, then hiding them away again with the same gesture, and it works even while you are in full-screen mode.

Key Features

  • Notes docked to the side of the screen, shown or hidden with a click, shortcut or mouse movement
  • Markdown and rich text formatting, with notes organised into folders and colour options
  • iCloud sync across Macs, with SideNotes Mobile available separately for iPhone and iPad
  • Works on top of other apps, including in full-screen mode
  • Integrations with tools such as Alfred, Raycast, PopClip, Hookmark and Dropzone

How to Download

  1. Try the 30-day free trial from the developer's website first if you like.
  2. Get the app here: Download from the official site
  3. Install it, choose which screen edge it lives on, and capture your first note without leaving your current app.

System Requirements

SideNotes requires macOS 13 or later and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The optional mobile companion requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or newer and is sold separately.

FAQs

Is SideNotes a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase for the current major version — listed at $19.99 — with free updates within that version and no subscription.

Are my notes private?

Yes. Apptorium states it does not collect your notes or personal data; notes are stored on your device and synced only through your own iCloud account.
