Cirrus: Notes That Float

Cirrus keeps your notes one keystroke away. Press Control-Command-N in any app and a note floats above your work. Write it down, press Escape, and you are right back where you were.

ALWAYS AT HAND • Show and hide your notes from any app with a global shortcut you can change. • Keep a small pill on any edge of the screen. Hover to peek at your notes and type straight in, or click to open them. On a MacBook with a notch, the notch becomes the pill. • Keep Open holds a note in front of everything while you work.

JUST WRITE • Markdown without the clutter. Headings, checklists, highlights in five colors, images, code, and tables look the way they should, and the symbols stay out of sight. • Math as you write. End a line with = and the answer appears beside it. Units, dates, time zones, and exchange rates all work. Click an answer to copy it. • Link notes with [[Note Title]]. Typing [[ suggests titles and can create a note that does not exist yet. • Type #tag anywhere in a note, then search by it. Fold a section away under its heading.

FIND AND DO ANYTHING FAST • The command palette (Command-K) runs every action. Give it a shortcut of your own to open it from any app. • Command-P finds any note and shows the matching line. • Pin the notes you use most and open them with Control-1 to Control-9. Archive the ones you are done with. • Capture the clipboard in a keystroke, or turn on Paste Mode to gather everything you copy into one note. • Shortcuts, Siri, and cirrus:// links create, open, read, and add to notes. Notes appear in Spotlight.

YOUR NOTES, YOUR ICLOUD • Notes sync between your Macs through your own private iCloud. There is no account to create and no server of ours in between. Cirrus works without iCloud too. • Export every note as Markdown files whenever you like, and keep a daily backup of the last seven days. • Tint the panel with a preset or any color, and set its opacity from glass to solid. Light and dark appearance follow the system or your choice.

FREE AND PRO Cirrus is free for 3 notes, with every feature. Cirrus Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, unlocks unlimited notes.
