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.

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?

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.

The ⌥⌘N hotkey sliding a full editor out from the edge is such a clean trick — feels like the kind of thing macOS should have shipped with. Nice touch on keeping everything as plain Markdown too, that's the right call.

Thank you @fatmaodef39623

Really appreciate that. The slide animation took more tuning than I expected glad it reads as effortless from the outside.

And yeah, Markdown was non-negotiable for me. No export dance, no proprietary format, just files.
