đź“ť What is Notoa?
Notoa is a lightweight macOS menu bar app designed for capturing thoughts instantly—without opening windows or breaking focus.
Always available from the menu bar, Notoa lets you write notes, dictate text, paste images, manage simple tasks, and search your notes in seconds. The interface stays calm and unobtrusive, so you can capture ideas quickly and return to what you were doing.
All notes are stored locally on your Mac for speed and privacy. Notoa launches at login, disappears when you’re done, and never gets in the way.
Notoa is built for moments when you just need a place to drop a thought—quickly and quietly.
