# Flyout — Screen Edge Notes for macOS > A rich-text notes panel that flies out from your screen edge. Code blocks, task lists, images and reminders — always one gesture away. For macOS 14+. Nudge the right edge — or press ⌥⌘N — and a full rich-text editor flies out over your work. Step away, and it slides back out of sight. - Platform: macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later — Apple Silicon and Intel - Price: $18 USD (launch price; list price $24) — one-time purchase, lifetime license, no subscription - Free trial: 7 days, no account, no payment details - License: use on 2 Macs · 1 year of updates included ($12/year optional afterwards) - Download: https://getflyout.app/releases/Flyout-1.0.7.dmg ## Features ### Instant access, anywhere Rest your pointer on the screen edge or hit the global shortcut. The panel is over your work before you finish the thought — no window management, no app switch. ### A real editor, not a scratchpad Slash commands, headings, task lists, syntax-highlighted code blocks, inline images, color and highlight. Your notes keep the structure your work has. ### Reminders that live inside the note Set a reminder on a note — or on the exact sentence you selected. Overdue, today, upcoming and completed group into their own tab. Repeat daily or weekly, snooze straight from the notification, and click through to land back on the highlighted line. ### Folders you can actually drag into Group notes into folders that fold open right in the list — no sidebar, no second window. Drag a note onto a folder to file it, drag it back out to unfile it. Right-click any note to pin, copy or delete it. ### The same notes on every Mac iCloud keeps every note, folder and reminder in sync across your Macs — through your own iCloud account. Nothing passes through our servers, and it all still works offline. ### Native and light A menu-bar app with a true vibrancy surface that follows system appearance. It feels like part of macOS because it is — no browser engine idling in your dock. ### Markdown underneath Every note is stored as plain markdown. Copy it into a pull request, pipe it through a script, take it with you — nothing is locked in a proprietary format. ### Works offline, private by default ## Why Flyout You already have somewhere to put a note. The problem is what happens to it there. - An ordinary notes app: Rich enough — in another app, behind your editor, in a window you have to go find. The note survives; the moment doesn't. - A scratchpad: Instant — and flat. The code loses its highlighting, the checklist is just dashes, the screenshot never fit in the first place. - Flyout: As fast as a scratchpad, with an editor that holds real code, real tasks, real images and real reminders — one gesture away from any app. ## Pricing One price. Yours for good. — $18 (launch price). Launch pricing ends 30 September 2026 — the list price is $24. - Reminders on any note — or an exact line - Folders you drag notes into - Code blocks, tasks, images and Markdown - iCloud sync across your Macs - Works offline — no account, everything on your Mac - Lifetime license — the app is yours - 1 year of updates · use on 2 Macs Optional afterwards: another year of updates, $12/year ## Getting started - Download Flyout: A notarized DMG for macOS 14 Sonoma and later.

The panel flies out and you are already writing. Requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.

It runs on your own iCloud account — nothing passes through our servers, and everything still works offline. ### Can I organise notes into folders? Yes. Folders fold open right inside the notes list — drag a note onto one to file it, drag it back out to unfile it. They are flat by design: a note lives in exactly one folder, or none. Nesting is not supported. ### Which macOS versions are supported? macOS 14 Sonoma and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. ### Is it a subscription? No. You buy a lifetime license and the app runs forever. After the included year, renewing updates for $12/year is optional — skip it and everything keeps working. ### Do reminders need an account? No. Reminders are scheduled through the macOS notification centre on your own Mac. Nothing about a note or its reminder ever leaves the device. ### How many Macs can I use it on? Two at a time. If you replace a machine, release its seat from Settings and activate the new one — the license stays yours. ### What kind of app is Flyout? Flyout is a native macOS menu-bar app: an always-available rich-text note panel that slides out from the edge of your screen. It is built for developers and anyone who writes — with code blocks, task lists, reminders and Markdown, one gesture from any app. ### Is there a notes app that slides out from the screen edge on Mac? Yes — that is exactly what Flyout does. Nudge the right edge or press ⌥⌘N and a full editor flies out over your work, then slides away when you step back. ### I already use Raycast — do I need Flyout? They do different jobs. Raycast Notes is a scratchpad built for capture: one text-only note at a time, in a window you dismiss. Flyout is built for the note that stays open beside your work — tabs and folders, images, code blocks, and reminders you can pin to a single line, syncing through your own iCloud. If you only jot and move on, Raycast Notes is enough and you have already paid for it. If notes live next to your work, that is the job Flyout does — there is a full, honest comparison on our compare page. ## Privacy Policy Flyout is a Mac app that keeps your notes on your Mac. This page explains the little that leaves it. ### Your notes never leave your device Notes, quick pages, images and reminders are stored locally on your Mac using SwiftData. There is no cloud account, no telemetry and no analytics SDK. We cannot read your notes because we never receive them. Reminders are scheduled with the macOS notification centre on your own machine. They are not sent to a server. ### What we store when you buy When you purchase a license, our payment processor (Stripe) handles the payment and shares your email address and name with us. We store your email, your name, the generated license key and the purchase date so we can deliver the key and re-send it if you lose it. We never see or store your card details. Stripe processes them under its own privacy policy. ### Device activation A license can be activated on two Macs. To enforce that, the app sends a hardware identifier to our server, which stores only an irreversible SHA-256 hash of it — never the raw identifier. The hash lets us count seats; it cannot be turned back into anything that identifies your machine. You can release a seat at any time from Settings › License, which deletes that activation record. ### Updates If automatic updates are enabled, the app periodically requests our update feed. That request carries the information any web request carries — your IP address and the app version. We do not build profiles from it. ### Your rights and how to reach us You can ask us to delete your purchase record at any time. Note that deleting it means we can no longer re-send your license key. Write to hello@getflyout.app for any privacy question, data export or deletion request. ## Terms of Sale These terms cover buying and using Flyout. Buying the app means you accept them. ### What you are buying A perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use Flyout on up to two Macs that you own or control. The licence never expires: the version you have keeps working for as long as it runs on your system. The licence is personal. You may not resell, sublicense or share your key. ### Updates Your purchase includes one year of updates from the purchase date. After that year the app keeps working and keeps every feature it has — you simply stop receiving new versions. Renewing updates for another year is optional and costs $12. There is no subscription and nothing is charged automatically. ### Trial Flyout runs unrestricted for 7 days before a licence is required. The trial needs no account and no payment details. ### Refunds and EU withdrawal right We offer a 14-day refund, no questions asked. Write to hello@getflyout.app with the email you bought with. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content. Because the licence key is delivered immediately, you consent to immediate delivery at checkout; we honour the 14-day refund regardless. ### Prices and tax Prices are in US dollars. Where required, VAT or sales tax is calculated and shown by Stripe at checkout and remitted by us. The launch price is an introductory price and ends on 30 September 2026, after which it rises to the list price. Licences bought at the launch price are not downgraded when the price changes. ### No warranty, limited liability Flyout is provided "as is". To the maximum extent allowed by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the licence. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory consumer rights. Your notes live on your Mac. Keep backups — Time Machine or any backup tool covers Flyout like any other app. ### Contact Depfloy LLC · hello@getflyout.app Last updated: 8 July 2026 --- Home: https://getflyout.app/ · Contact: hello@getflyout.app
