Shady Notes
Your notes live just above the screen, a scroll away. No windows cluttering the desktop — pull the shade down, write, let it roll back up.
Your notes are just files
Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you choose — readable by
Obsidian, VS Code, or anything else. How the vault
works.
Built for the keyboard
A global hotkey opens the shade from any app, and every editor action can be remapped. Keyboard shortcuts.
Make it yours
Fourteen themes, a plugin platform, and settings for nearly everything. Customising.
