Hello hunters! 👋 Over the past few months, we've been working on a macOS app for taking notes without interrupting your flow. We're excited to finally launch Type today! 🚀 Type lets you take quick notes wherever you are, so you can stay productive and focused on your task at hand. It includes the following features: → Accessible from anywhere – Launch type via keyboard shortcut → No synchronization issues – Your notes are stored in text files → Timestamp your notes – The date is automatically attached to each note → Quickly switch between notes – Navigate via arrow keys → Customizable – Select your preferred date style We also plan to develop the following features: → Option to keep the app always visible → Delete a note → Delete a note → Search notes → Export note We built this app to meet our own needs, such as: → Highlights – Capture your thoughts for your next 1-1 → Time Tracking – See where you spend your time → Journaling – Write a note every day → Debugging – Steps to reproduce a bug We would be very curious to discover new use cases. How would the app help you? Let us know! 😊 Thank you. ❤️

@chrismessina Thanks! I didn't know Notational Velocity, looks very interesting! I just checked their website, here are a few key points: - Type doesn't support search yet, but it will use the same text field for sure, - You have to click on New note / Cmd+N to create a new note and choose where you want to save the file - No encryption - You can use Type with the mouse or the keyboard (similar to what Raycast does in terms of keyboard shortcuts) - Add soon as you press Enter, the note is appended to the text file - Since notes are saved in text files, you can put them in your Dropbox/Google Drive/One Drive/Obsidian folder to sync them

@nicol3a @chrismessina I didn't know about NV either! Interesting. I do think time-to-note and time-to-retrieve are super important, though as my personal note base grows, I value structure (e.g. backlinks) more and more.

congrats on launching Type! Type looks useful. One suggestion I have is to consider integrating a tagging or categorization system. This could help users organize their notes better and find specific information quickly when needed.

@ouyangke hashtags would be ideal in this context. 🤗

@ouyangke Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely use hashtags when I'll implement the search in a future update!

Congratulations Team Type on your launch on Producthunt! The hassle-free note-taking concept is ingenious. An interesting feature could be a voice-to-text option, helping users quickly jot down while multi-tasking. Can't wait to see where this goes!

@manmohit Thanks a lot for the kind words! This could probably be done via an Apple Shorcut, I plan to support it in a future update.

@manmohit "An interesting feature could be a voice-to-text option" I second this! @nicol3a Btw, any plans for the poor Windows/Android users?

@manmohit @xucian Unfortunately no, I'm macOS/iOS developer. I don't even have the knowledge to develop on other platforms. :/

Like the idea. Are you providing integrations through API and any plans for teams/collaboration feature? 🚀 Congratulations on the launch!

@naveed_rehman Thank you Naveed! I don't provide any integrations at the moment. But I have received feature requests to support Apple Shortcuts or being able to save the note somewhere else than in a text file. I need to dig a little to see what could be feasible. No plan for teams feature though.

Any chance to test it without paying $6 on Appstore ? It is a little difficult to see the functionality on the site. Fx. What is date 'attached to' the file ? In the file ?

@poul_kjeldgaard Unfortunately no, the app is a paid app. You can look at the video on the website, the date is added to the text file along with the note.

Seems like this could be a great companion for my current note taking app and process. Will give it a try. Congrats on the launch.

@eugene_toporov Awesome! What's your current note taking app and process? I'm genuinely curious 👀

@nicol3a Sure. I mainly use AI Writer forquite some time for quick notes. Love it! (It was Notational Velocity before that). And it's a lot of manual housekeeping. I've started with Obsidian and reorganizing some of the current notes, but it's a lot of effort.
