@flaskshade Congrats on the launch Roy! What’s on the roadmap? Are you planning features like tagging, reminders, auto-sync, or AI assistance?
Thanks a lot @kimberly_ross !
I have a few ideas for additional features in mind, but I'd like the roadmap to be shaped primarily by the feedback and real-world usage I receive.
Tagging or reminders could definitely be interesting. As for AI & sync, Meteorite is currently focused on staying local-first/lightweight, but I’m keeping an open mind!
@flaskshade Congrats on the launch, Roy! Love the focus on instant capture — that ‘invisible speed’ feeling is so underrated. I built something in the productivity space too, and I totally relate to the challenge of keeping things lightweight without feature creep. Excited to see where you take it.
Thanks @anthony_kyle, all the best with your project as well!
@flaskshade What IDE did you build it in?
@linkblaze I was constantly juggling a few IDEs but mostly Antigravity and VS Code
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.
Thanks @diegodau, really appreciate that! 😄
Right now, Apple Notes export is a one-way push from Meteorite, as the idea is to keep Meteorite focused on fast capture. Bi-directional sync is an interesting idea though! I'll keep it in mind.
@flaskshade Ok,thank you for the answer, and good luck with the launch!
Thanks a lot Diego!
Congrats on the launch! A truly frictionless capture tool in the menu bar is surprisingly hard to get right. How do you decide what not to add? With note apps, feature creep is almost inevitable, what’s your filter for keeping Meteorite minimal without users eventually asking for structure, folders, or tagging?
Thanks, and great question! It’s definitely a challenge, I'd say it's really about finding the right balance and protecting the core experience.
If a feature starts adding visual complexity or any form of friction, it’s probably not the right fit.
That said I’m very open to additions that stay lightweight and optional, especially when users repeatedly emphasize that it would add meaningful value to Meteorite.
Made an account on Product Hunt just to thank you for building this product! This will replace my physical stickies + kanban + various other sources into one quick dispensable solution.
I use mac with menu bar set at autohide. Would love it if Meteorite could work smoothly with this view.
Cheers!
@harshsodi If you think that there’s anything that could make the experience with auto-hide better, please let me know! I’ll be happy to fine-tune it.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, appreciate it! 🙏
incredible app, congrats on the launch
Are you planning to release also an iOS version with sync between Mac and iPhone?
I would instantly make it my daily note app if that happens
Thanks a lot @riccardo_mazzarini1 ! 😄
An iPhone companion app is something I’d honestly love to build, and I can clearly imagine how much value Mac + iPhone sync could add. At the same time, it would be a pretty big step. It would require a significant amount of work, so I'd want to make sure it's done properly.
I'm currently focused on refining the Mac experience and learning from how people are using it. Seeing a continued interest for an iOS app would definitely be a part of that evaluation.
@grey_seymour Thank you! A lot of attention went into getting the design right, so that's great to hear
We use Instrument Serif as our primary branding font 🙂
That is something that could be really helpful for me! I already payed for the pro version! I always had scattered txt files across the computer.
That means a lot @marti_serra_molina, thanks for the support! 🙏
That’s exactly the use case I had in mind. I really hope it helps make things simpler.
If you ever have ideas or feedback, I’d love to hear from you!
