A native Mac notes app that mixes typed text with handwritten margins, sketches, and crayon-colored highlights. Plain text on the inside. Yours on the outside.
Most of the work is in the cuts. The shape was there in draft one but it took two more passes to find which sentences were holding it back.
cut more — keep the verbs, lose the nouns
The note app I want should let me write quickly and annotate slowly. Two modes, same file. Not two apps. Not two files.
Notes live in plain Markdown on your disk. Sync via iCloud Drive if you want it. No account.
Type for thinking. Switch to handwriting for margins. Both stay in the same file, in the same line.
No tabs. No tag manager. One sidebar, one canvas, one keyboard shortcut to find anything.
