PopNote

Notes that pop up. Tasks that get done.

PopNote is officially live on itch.io.

It’s a simple macOS menu bar app for those tiny thoughts you don’t want to lose, but also don’t want cluttering your day. Write a quick note, choose when it should appear, and let it pop up when you actually need it.

A few things PopNote can do:

• Create quick reminder notes from the menu bar
• Choose when each note should appear
• Keep reminders lightweight and out of the way
• Pop notes open when it’s time
• Simple bubble-style design
• Clean macOS-focused experience

The idea is pretty simple: reminders should feel less like a calendar event and more like a little thought bubble showing up at the right moment.

This is the first release, so I’ll keep polishing it, testing it, and improving the tiny details. If you try it, I’d love to hear what feels good, what feels weird, and what would make it more useful.
