Features
Pop open NanoPad from your menu bar, jot down a thought, and get back to work. Notes are saved instantly — no titles required.
Group notes into folders with drag-and-drop or keyboard shortcuts. Simple hierarchy — no nested rabbit holes.
Turn any note into a floating sticky that stays on screen while you work. Resize, reposition, and dismiss when done.
Full markdown support with live preview. Headings, bold, lists, code blocks — write naturally, see it rendered.
Your notes and folders sync across all your Macs via iCloud. No setup, no accounts, no servers.
Navigate notes, switch folders, create, delete, and search — all from the keyboard. Type-to-filter, global hotkeys.
Multiple themes to match your editor or mood. Light, dark, and everything in between.
Under 5 MB. Launches instantly. Uses almost no memory. A notes app that respects your system resources.
Apple Notes is fine. NanoPad is faster.
