This is so close to what I've been searching for! A few things would make this truly amazing: - a way to make notes sticky/fave/starred so they stay at the top - making todos that have been completed hidden but still available somewhere...maybe in a different note that you can specify? - an API/webhooks or some way to automate the creation of notes ( I work for Zapier and would love having a way to use this with other apps) - a way to create reminders for todos - the ability to search for notes (maybe by using #somethinglikethis) ā†’ BONUS: being able to save those searches/filters somehow (maybe put all notes with certain hashtags into a different folder?) - allowing notes to live on the main screen where the folders are. Maybe that's how you handle sticky ones? Overall, I love the look and feel of this and how easy it is to create a note from copied text. That definitely helps when you just want to save something without fussing. Great work! Question: I can open the sidebar with keyboard shortcuts, but am I able to go into a folder with keyboard shortcuts? I can navigate up and down but everything I've tried then lets me edit the name of the folder instead of drilling inside of it. Thanks!

@nicksimard Thanks for your feedback! Most of these features have been already in our todo list šŸ˜€ > an API/webhooks or some way to automate the creation of notes ( I work for Zapier and would love having a way to use this with other apps) We've already integrated it with AppleScript. In a few days we'll add docs in apptorium.com/support/sidenotes. If you have any questions regarding to AS or suggestion, just send a message via apptorium.com/contact > I can open the sidebar with keyboard shortcuts, but am I able to go into a folder with keyboard shortcuts? I can navigate up and down but everything I've tried then lets me edit the name of the folder instead of drilling inside of it. cmd+down to enter the folder. It works just like Finder. Here are all the keyboard shortcuts: https://www.apptorium.com/suppor...

@m_krzywonos Awesome, thanks so much! I knew there must be a way to get into the folders. Now, I know :)

The concept is brilliant, but are the notes stored in a format making the data retrievable should the company cease support for the app for any reason?

@stillupmysleeve It's a simple JSON file, so you can get data from it. You can also use a script (Apple Script) to get all the notes.

@m_krzywonos Thanks!

iOS app planned?

@jitowix Yes, but first we would like to integrate it with iCloud (as an option)

I think iOS version should be the top priority and when checking the todo box, strikethrough effect is necessary

Looks great! Any plans for an API?

@jjcaine What kind of API? SideNotes is integrated with Apple Script, so you can play with it
John Caine
@m_krzywonos Oh nice, I'll play around with that and see what I can do. I'm already a heavy Evernote user, so if I can figure out a way to keep my todo list in Evernote synced with SideNotes that would be a big win for me.

Loved the interface but anything without syncing to iOS is kind of useless for me. Specially when work is divided between Mac, iPad and iPhone. As this is part of setapp I will defiantly give a shot as have nothing to loose.

Really neat and smart desktop app waited for a while. Especially useful for screen share conference! However, I suggest that markdown symbols don't appear after formating a text line, as it is really disturbing for reading comfort and clarity. It will be an efficient update for better user experience.

This is a great little app. It's a shame that even at half price it's $15 Australian. But it's not your fault our currency is so weak. :-)

Any plans of creating an app that would sync the notes?

@m_krzywonos what file format do the notes save in? Are they able to be located in a folder outside of the app?

@gioismeyo Currently it's a JSON file. You can locate it from Preferences window (Preferences -> Data -> Open Data Folder). You can also get all notes using Apple Script.
