MindNotes beta: how do you capture a thought without losing focus?

Hi, I'm Levi. I built MindNotes because capturing a small thought on my Mac often meant switching tools and losing the thread of what I was doing.

The idea is simple: click a floating plus, write a note, and return to work. The free 0.2.0 beta has a draggable launcher, local Markdown notes and drafts, search and editing, English and Simplified Chinese, and light/dark/system appearance. The app and DMG are Developer ID signed and Apple notarized.

It runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 15 or later. This first version does not include iCloud sync, an iPhone app, or private encryption.

You can download the beta here:

I'm sharing it now to learn what people actually need before deciding what to build next. How do you capture a quick thought today? If you try MindNotes, what gets in the way, and what is the first thing you would change?
