The minimal menu bar notetaker for macOS. Instant capture for notes, tasks, and snippets. Native, lightweight, and keyboard-first.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of Meteorite. For a long time, I’ve wanted a faster way to capture short notes and snippets on macOS; something lighter than a full notes app, and immediate enough that writing something down doesn’t turn into a whole context switch. Meteorite is a minimal menu bar note tool built around that idea. It opens instantly with a shortcut, stays out of the way, and focuses on quick capture without adding structure or overhead. There are other menu bar note apps, but I wanted something truly keyboard-first and lightweight, fast enough that it feels almost invisible while still being powerful when you need it. What I focused on: • Instant access from anywhere • Fully keyboard-driven workflow • Markdown-style formatting • Instant search • Copy & export (including Apple Notes) • Fully local, offline & lightweight (built with Tauri + Rust) Pricing • Core is free with unlimited notes. • Pro is a one-time upgrade for advanced features ($7.99 launch, no subscription). If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your feedback!

hi @flaskshade "Fast enough that it feels almost invisible" that's a great design north star. The difference between a 200ms and a 800ms open time is the difference between "I'll jot this down" and "I'll remember it later" (spoiler: you won't).

Curious about the Apple Notes export.. is it a one-way push, or can you pull notes back from Apple Notes into Meteorite? Bi-directional sync with Apple Notes would be a killer feature for people who want quick capture on Mac but access on iPhone later.
