Topo Note

Place  for  ideas.

On Mac.

macOS 15+ · iOS 26+
View on the App Store

Keep your thoughts within reach.

Thoughts that would otherwise slip away find a place on your Mac desktop. Choose a color, set it always-on-top if it matters, or let it sit quietly behind your work.

Nothing you write disappears by accident. Closed notes stay in the Trash for 30 days, and an edit history is kept as you write. You can write freely.

The note you started on Mac opens the same way on iPhone. Wherever you go, your train of thought continues.

001

On your Mac desktop, really floating.

  • One second from the menu bar

    `⌃⌥N` for a new note. A global shortcut or a click — either way, the note shows up the instant you think of it.

  • Color, opacity, always-on-top, fold

    Tune each note individually. Liquid Glass lets the wallpaper behind show through — present without getting in the way.

  • Appears only with a chosen app

    A TODO note that shows only when Xcode is front-most. A research note that appears for Figma. Close the app, and the note quietly disappears too.

002

On iPhone too, the same note.

  • Write on Mac, open on iPhone

    With Topo Note Pro, iCloud sync puts the same note on every device. Pick it up on the move, finish it on the go.

  • Widget on the home screen

    Small and Medium Widgets pin one note in plain sight. The grocery list, the line you want to remember, always there.

  • Works on iPhone alone too

    Sync is optional. Even without a Mac, iPhone gives you the full library, search, tags, and Widget on its own.

003

A sticky note, but you can really write.

  • Split-pane editor

    Divide one note down the middle and keep two contexts side by side: idea vs. counter, ToDo vs. reference, source vs. translation. All in one window.

  • Markdown and inline images

    Headings, lists, code, quotes. Drag and drop images right in. Rendered as you type — no separate preview pane.

  • Strong on Japanese / CJK input

    Mid-conversion text never shrinks or disappears. Carefully tuned on both Mac and iPhone.

004

Hard to lose by mistake.

  • 30-day Trash

    Closed notes stay in the Trash for 30 days and can be restored any time. Permanently deleted only when you really mean it.

  • Edit history, 50 snapshots deep

    Each time you pause, the current body is saved as a snapshot (up to 50 per note, oldest first when full). Roll back if you went too far.

  • Hidden

    Want a note out of sight without deleting it? Hidden removes it from the library and search while keeping the data intact.

005

Built for iOS 26 and macOS.

  • Liquid Glass

    Embraces the translucency and depth of iOS 26 / macOS throughout. Light passes through to the wallpaper behind — real glass-like surfaces.

  • Mac-feeling on Mac, iPhone-feeling on iPhone

    Built directly on each platform's own toolkit, with no cross-platform middle layer. Launch is fast, gestures feel right.

  • Zero ads, zero tracking, buy once

    Not a subscription, just one purchase. Your notes are never sent to our servers.

Moments

Where it earns its place.

A few ways Topo Note tends to fit into a working day.

01

When an idea hits you mid-task

Press ⌃⌥N and a new note opens immediately. You capture the thought before it slips away, then return to what you were doing without losing focus.

02

When you want notes tied to a specific app

Pin a TODO list that only appears while Xcode is in front, or asset references that only show with Figma. Switch tasks, and the notes that don't belong to your current work step out of view.

03

When you need to pick it up on the go

Notes you took on Mac during a meeting are ready on your iPhone the moment you leave. Pin one to a home-screen Widget so it's in sight whenever you need it.

04

When you want to write freely

Jot down anything that comes to mind and sort it out later. Closed notes stay in the Trash for 30 days and the edit history is always there — you can write, and clear, without worry.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Do I need to buy Pro twice — once for Mac and once for iPhone?
No. Topo Note Pro is enabled for Apple's Universal Purchase, so one purchase from either App Store unlocks Pro on both OS versions under the same Apple ID.
Is iCloud sync required?
No. The full feature set works on Mac alone or iPhone alone. Turn on Pro's iCloud sync only when you want the same note on multiple devices.
Does it work offline?
Yes — fully. Sync is value-add. Launch, edit, search, and restore all work without a network.
Where is my data stored?
Everything lives on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers. With Pro's iCloud sync enabled, your notes are stored in your own iCloud account — and only there.
How many notes can I create?
On Free, you can hold up to 10 active notes at once (notes in the Trash or marked Hidden don't count). Pro is unlimited. The first 7 days unlock every Pro feature as a preview, so you can decide based on how you actually use it.
How is this different from other sticky-notes apps?
Same notes on Mac and iPhone, Markdown + images + split editor, a real iPhone Widget, and a 30-day Trash + rolling edit history so accidental deletes don't hurt.
Is there an Android or web version?
Not currently planned. Topo Note focuses on native macOS and iOS so it can make the most of platform features like Liquid Glass and Widgets.
Topo Note

On Mac. On iPhone.

Available on the Mac App Store and the iPhone App Store. A single purchase under the same Apple ID unlocks Pro on both, and Family Sharing is supported too.
