NATIVE NOTES FOR MAC
A little space for what’s on your mind.
Catch a thought. Keep it in a plain text file.
Get back to your day.
brew install --cask a-dev/tap/ramnotesApple Silicon · macOS 27+
A PLACE TO THINK
Everything a little note needs.
There when you need it
Summon your notes with a shortcut or a scroll gesture. Get the thought down and return to what you were doing.
Plain files, your folder
Your notes are ordinary .txt files in a folder you choose. Open them in another editor whenever you like.
Find the thought
Instant full-text search brings the right note back into view, without organizing a second workspace.
A tint for each thought
Six quiet note tones make a little room for visual memory. Or keep your notes untinted.
A small footprint
A lightweight native app built to stay close at hand. Your notes should not need a browser engine.
Feels like your Mac
Native macOS text editing, spelling, links and familiar keyboard commands. Less to learn, more room to think.
YOURS TO KEEP
Plain files. Your folder.
RAMnotes has no network access. Your thoughts stay in the folder you choose, including iCloud Drive if you want Apple to sync them.
Read the privacy policy →A little less to carry in your head.
