When it comes to Mac -taking apps, it is difficult to see the previous Apple notes, because it has a lot of features and has proved itself to be quite reliable. But in my workflow, I sometimes miss having a scratchpad on my Mac, something for the notepad on the windows. I like to use such tools to underline my articles, to lower the notes that can turn into the ideas of the story, or simply make a quick-to-do list for regular tasks.
Macos has an underlying app called sticks that do some of these things, but it requires an update, because the design looks old and it is not ideal to handle many notes. I recently discovered AntinotA beautifully designed app that does everything required to me with a sticky note app, and contains many more features including creating pomodoro timer and converted currencies, which will also appeal to power users. Antinote has a seven-day free test, after which you can pay a once fee of $ 5 to buy the app.

The first thing you should do after downloading Antinot is to learn Hotki to launch it, which is Option a As a default. Personally, I set a custom keyboard shortcut to set the app on fire, which you can do Settings> Shortcut> Global HotkiAnd it suits my workflow very well.
Generally, I do not really need to use this shortcut. Instead, I pin Antinot on my screen, meaning that it sits in a floating window over all my other apps. However, when you use any app in full-screen mode on your Mac, the entinot hides. In these cases, using Hotki takes you to desktop and back to the antinote, which is a lifestyle.
You should install an antinote for one or two minutes as per your choice, start Settings> ViewsHere, the app lets you choose what you want to show this dock, menu bar, or not. I recently switched to Barbie for menu bar management, which keeps chaos under control when I have a lot of menu apps open, and so I like to use Antinot as menu bar app. However, I sometimes make it a ‘headless’ app, which means that it only shows when I use the keyboard shortcut to launch it (another reason to remember it).
Understanding the keyword of Antinot

Antinote uses keywords to decide which features are capable in any note. You can type the word ‘timer’ at the top of a note and it will show you all the command required to start the timer. For example, to enable a pomodoro timer, type a five -minute timer, or ‘Timer Poom’, type ‘Timer 5’ to start a five -minute timer for the break to work for 25 minutes before starting a five -minute timer. Other keywords include ‘mathematics’ for calculations, ‘paste’ to create an entinote store, which you make ‘list’ to start clipboard history, and checklist. Go to the app settings and navigate Keyword Tab to remember or customize all these keywords.
Navigate between notes

While there are lots of keyboard shortcuts to manage your notes, I love using the app to switch between different notes. You can use your Mac trackpad to do these gestures. To start a new note, use two-finger swipes on the left and swipe to the right to go to the previous note. In this way, you can only go through your entire note history by swipe. These gestures are sharp and the notes open almost immediately after swipe in any direction.
Antinote also automatically saves all your notes in the app, but if you want to share a note with others, you can click on the share button in the lower-right corner of the app of the app. This note will be saved as a TXT file in the folder of your choice. You can then use other apps to share the note. Unfortunately, there is no real -time cooperation facility.

Interesting additional features

Beyond using simply quick and easy to reduce ideas or to convert quick unit, this app has some more useful features in its toolbox. You can take a screenshot of the text and the app will use OCR to remove it into the note. Default Macos Keyboard Shortcut-Command-Control-Shift-4- Will let you screenshot an area on your screen. Use it to copy the screenshot on your clipboard, and paste it in the entinot. The app will automatically take out any lesson for you.
I also like Antinot’s distraction-free UI. This lesson displays and writes you without showing you all your available buttons until you move the cursor near those buttons. There are some buttons at the top of the window of the app and some are at the bottom, so if you find that you are not finding something you need, try both places. One of the buttons at the top is a global search button that lets you find through all your entinote notes, which is very useful.
The app allows you to set an auto-diet schedule, which is good if you want to use it mainly for temporary notes. In its settings, go on Note Section to configure it. I have set it to remove notes after a month, but if you want you can clean everything in the app within a day. The app supports many subjects, it is also available under it Settings> ViewsFor example, you can see the app more like a physical notebook, or transform your canvas uncontrollably or from grid-based.
Settings> Views In addition, let you change the shape of window and default font size to suit your needs. When I am using my MacBook display, I put it on medium, but when the laptop is connected to a large monitor, I increase the font size.
