Hey everyone 👋 I'm Görkem. I built Flyout because I kept losing thoughts between windows. A phone number mid-call. A "book the table" while planning a weekend. A line worth keeping from an article. The thought always went… somewhere — a sticky note behind a window, a message to myself, a Notes window I had to go find. The note survived; the moment didn't. So Flyout lives on the edge of your screen. Rest your pointer on the right edge — or press ⌥⌘N — and a full editor flies out over whatever you're doing. Step away and it slides back. The part I care about most: it's a real editor, not a scratchpad. Type / for headings, checklists and quotes. Attach a reminder to a single line and macOS nudges you at the right moment. Drag notes into folders, pin what matters, search everything. And if you write code, there are syntax-highlighted code blocks too — underneath, every note is plain Markdown you can take anywhere. Some decisions I'd love pushback on: • Native AppKit + SwiftUI, not Electron. The editor surface is a WKWebView (TipTap is the best editor I know) — the shell, the menu bar and the storage are all Swift. • iCloud sync runs through your own account. Your notes never touch my servers — I couldn't read them if I wanted to. • Folders are flat on purpose. No nesting. One obvious hierarchy beats three confusing ones. • Lifetime license, no subscription — $24, currently $18. A year of updates is included; renewing is optional and the app never stops working. Caveats, up front: macOS 14 Sonoma or later. No iOS app yet — that's next. No shared or team notebooks, and that's a permanent architectural choice (private iCloud sync), not a roadmap item. Free 7-day trial, no account needed: https://getflyout.app I'll be around all day. I'd love to hear where a thought goes today when both your hands are full — and where Flyout breaks for you.

The plain Markdown under the hood is a really thoughtful choice, makes it feel like it'll last beyond any app update. The ⌥⌘N shortcut is a nice touch too.

Thanks @birol167210,

The Markdown choice was actually one of the trickier calls under the hood —

once you add custom pieces like inline images or reminders to the editor, most

rich-text/Markdown round-trips start quietly losing data. Took a while to make sure

everything survives cleanly, but it means every note really is just a file you can

grep, diff, or drop into a PR.

Glad the shortcut lands well too — it's rebindable in Settings if ⌥⌘N ever clashes

with something else on your setup.

A lifetime license sold me, and the local Markdown storage is the right call. One thing I'd love: a quick hotkey or menu bar option to drop a clip from any app into Flyout, so I can grab a paragraph or screenshot without switching focus first.

Thanks @ceylin1736493 ,

Glad both of those landed right, they were deliberate calls. On the capture request: today the closest flow is copy something (text or a screenshot) → ⌥⌘N → ⌘V, straight into whatever note is open. One hotkey away, but the panel does show up and take focus for a beat.

A background version — capturing without ever seeing the panel — is worth building. Two paths that wouldn't need any extra permission: a global hotkey that reads whatever's already on your clipboard and appends it to a note, or a right-click "Send to Flyout" item in the Services menu for text you select in any app.

Which one matches what you had in mind?
