Sticky notes, rethought
Sticky notes for your Mac — without the desktop clutter
People reach for sticky notes because a thought needs to live where they can see it: the shopping list, the confirmation number, the thing to say on the next call. The trouble is the squares themselves — they sit on the desktop, get buried under windows, or cover the work. Flyout keeps the note at the edge of your screen instead: there the moment you need it, gone the moment you don’t.
Always at hand, never in the way
Nudge the right edge of your screen — or press ⌥⌘N — and your notes slide out over whatever you’re doing. Step away and the panel slides back. Want it to stay while you copy something over? Pin it, and it stays put until you unpin it.
A real note, not a square of text
Checklists you can actually tick, photos and screenshots you paste straight in, headings and highlights for longer notes. A packing list, a recipe, the serial number with a photo of the receipt — they all fit in one place.
Sticky notes that can remind you
Put a reminder on a whole note — or on the exact line that matters — and macOS notifies you on time. Repeat it daily or weekly, snooze it right from the notification. No account needed.
Tidy by default
Notes live in tabs and folders instead of scattering across your desktop. Pin the important ones, search the rest. Everything is stored as plain Markdown on your Mac, and iCloud can keep your Macs in sync through your own account.

- Yes. Pin the panel and it stays on top of your work until you unpin it — handy when you’re copying from a note into something else.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Flyout works entirely on your Mac, offline included. iCloud sync is optional and runs through your own iCloud account — nothing passes through our servers.

- There’s a free 7-day trial, no account required. After that it’s a one-time $18 launch price for a lifetime license on two Macs — no subscription.
For macOS 14 Sonoma and later. One-time $18 — no subscription.
