About the startup

DropNote is a lightweight macOS menu bar app for quick notes that stays out of the way. Unlike full note-taking apps, it focuses on speed and simplicity by living entirely in the menu bar. Notes are saved automatically and can be pinned, locked with password or Touch ID, and exported when needed. DropNote is free and open source.
