Design Intent: Slot seamlessly into optimized workflows. Don’t take up more space than needed.

Pin Antinote to top

  • This will pin the Antinote window above other windows.
  • Currently does not support full screen mode.
  • Turn on "Restore pin state on open" (Settings > General > Window) to have Antinote come back pinned if it was pinned when you closed it.
  • ⌘ + P Pin/Unpin Antinote to Top

Close and open window

  • Close the window using ⌘ + W
  • Hide/Show using ⌘ + O, toggling the Global hotkey (⌥ + A), or clicking the button in the status menu. If you use multiple spaces, Antinote will appear on the currently active space.
  • ⌘ + W Close window
  • ⌘ + O Hide/Show while Antinote is focused
  • ⌥ + A Hide/Show anytime - Global Hotkey

Dock + Menu Bar

  • Choose where Antinote lives in Settings > General > Menu bar & Dock: the Dock, a pseudo menu bar, both, the traditional menu bar, or nothing at all.
  • If it shows in neither the menu bar nor the Dock ("Nothing"), it will only be accessible via the Global Hotkey or a launcher (eg. Spotlight, Alfred, Raycast).
  • Using the app in "Nothing" mode will also prevent the system menu from showing up. Though all system menu options are accessible via the app UI.
  • Antinote will show over full-screen apps in Pseudo Menu Bar mode and Traditional Menu Bar mode.
  • At the moment, going full screen when using "Nothing" mode will lead to a bug where you can't un-fullscreen the window.
  • You can set Antinote to hide whenever it loses focus and isn't pinned ("Hide Antinote when it loses focus" in Settings > General > Window). This is helpful when using it in Pseudo Menu Bar mode on top of full screen apps.
  • Changing the mode requires an app restart — Antinote will ask.
Settings
  • Show Antinote in Dock Only | Pseudo Menu Bar | Dock and Pseudo Menu Bar | Traditional Menu Bar | Nothing
  • Hide Antinote when it loses focus On | Off

    • Traditional Menu Bar with Dropdown Note + fullscreen support

    • This mode will put Antinote in the traditional menu bar with a note that drops down from the icon.
    • This dropdown will appear over fullscreen apps.
    Settings
  • Dropdown window size (only if Traditional Menu Bar is active) Width x Height
