Fadepad is a new take on notes. An app that cleans itself. No fancy editing, folders, or tags - none of it. Simply capture a note, act on it while it matters - create a reminder, a calendar event, or a permanent Apple note - and let it go. Every note fades away eventually, and you choose how fast that happens. The result is an app where you can focus on what matters instead of feeling overburdened.
Hey guys,
I've always struggled with note apps because they eventually turn into a mess I feel obligated to clean up, categorize, and maintain. As a result, I never really committed to any of them - I kept using random txt files and eventually deleting them.
Fadepad is my fix. Notes fade and expire on their own, so there's nothing to organize and nothing to feel bad about. If a note mattered, you acted on it. If it didn't, it's already gone.
What can Fadepad do?
Write it down. All your notes live on one seamless page, one line at a time, with today at the bottom. No titles, no folders, no saving. Capture from anywhere with the ⌥Space command palette or the Share sheet.
Act on it. It integrates natively with the Apple ecosystem: turn a line into a Reminder, Calendar event or Apple Note, or check it off, right where you wrote it. Most of this works from the command palette, keyboard shortcuts or Siri Shortcuts too.
Let it go. Notes eventually fade and leave on their own after 3, 7 or 14 days, your choice. You get a heads-up before unresolved ones go. The cleaning up is done for you.
Everything stays on your Mac. No sync, no server, no account, no analytics.
I have a lot of features and improvements planned, from an iOS app to integrating the upcoming AI features in macOS.
So I'd love to hear your thoughts on the concept and whether you can see yourself using it. Thanks!
