Leave it where it helps

QUESTIONS
Before you download
Which Macs can run it?
Corner Notes runs on Apple silicon Macs (M-series chips) with macOS 14 or later. Check Apple menu → About This Mac. Intel, Windows, Chromebook, iPhone, and iPad downloads aren’t available.
What does it cost?
Corner Notes is offered as a free download. Buying a coffee is optional and doesn’t unlock extra features. The download form asks for your name and email; news about new tools is a separate, optional checkbox.
Where do my notes go?
Notes and voice recordings save on your Mac. Local backups and Recently Deleted are in Settings → Data. Notes don’t sync between Macs. Tasks use your Apple Reminders list and follow that list’s account settings.
Do I need an account or special permissions?
You don’t need an account to use the Mac app. Writing notes and doing calculations don’t require microphone, screen, or Reminders access. Voice recording, screen capture, and the To-Do tab ask for their relevant macOS permissions when used.
Will pinned windows and calculator results come back?
Your notes save between launches. Pinned windows and calculator drafts are kept for the current session. Copy a result into a note if you want to keep it.
Can I share it with someone?
Share this website so they can get the official download. You can export and share your own notes. Resale and redistribution of the software require permission; see the license.
