Antinote 2.0.9 Overview

Antinote is a fast macOS scratchpad developed by Cmd-N Studios Inc., built for temporary notes and inline math rather than long-term organization. It opens instantly on a global hotkey, strips formatting when pasting text, and converts currencies and units directly inline. Antinote requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, is sold as a one-time $5 purchase that includes lifetime updates, and offers a full-featured trial before buying. Version 2.0.9, released as a hot patch, fixes note reordering that could occur after upgrading from version 1.1.7 with iCloud sync enabled, alongside several smaller fixes. What sets Antinote apart from typical note-taking apps is its explicit design philosophy: it's meant to work alongside a person's existing comprehensive note system, not replace it, focusing purely on quick, temporary thoughts that don't need permanence or heavy organization. Since version 2.0, it supports optional iCloud sync using the user's own iCloud account with on-device encryption before upload — there is no Antinote account or Antinote server involved. The app also gained JavaScript extensions for custom text transformations, slotted notes with split-screen support, inline checklists and numbered lists, PDF export, and "The Void," a recovery space for deleted notes, while removing all analytics and crash-reporting code entirely from the app.

Key Features

Inline Math & Unit Conversion Type a math expression or currency/unit conversion directly into a note and Antinote calculates it on the spot, without needing a separate calculator app. Global Hotkey Access Opens instantly via a customizable global keyboard shortcut, letting users jot down a thought without switching away from whatever they're currently doing. Optional iCloud Sync with On-Device Encryption Syncs notes between Macs (and an iOS beta) using the user's own iCloud account, with notes encrypted on-device before upload; there is no Antinote account or server involved, and sync is off by default for users upgrading from 1.x. JavaScript Extensions Supports custom text transformations and automations written in JavaScript, with an extensions repository providing examples and documentation for building your own. Slotted Notes with Split Screen Provides nine slotted notes that sit in a permanent stack, accessible via ⌘T, with split screen toggled by ⌘⇧T for viewing more than one note at once. Inline Checklists & Numbered Lists Supports simple inline checklists and numbered lists directly within notes, added as part of the version 2.0 update. PDF & Multi-App Export Exports any note to TXT, Markdown, PDF, Apple Notes, Obsidian, or Bear, making it easy to move a temporary thought into a more permanent home when needed. The Void (Deleted Note Recovery) Provides a dedicated recovery space, called The Void, for retrieving notes that were previously deleted.

How to Use Antinote 2.0.9

Start typing a quick note, pasting text (which automatically strips formatting), or entering a math expression for instant calculation. Use ⌘T to access your nine slotted notes, and ⌘⇧T to toggle split screen for viewing more than one at a time. Enable iCloud sync in Settings > General if you want notes to sync between your Macs using your own iCloud account. Explore Settings > Extensions to add JavaScript-based custom text transformations if you want more automation. Export a note to TXT, Markdown, PDF, Apple Notes, Obsidian, or Bear when it needs to move into a more permanent system. If a note is accidentally deleted, check The Void to recover it.
