[ad_1]
[prMac.com] Zielona Góra, Poland – The indie development team Apptorium is happy to announce the release and immediate availability of SideNotes 1.3, an important update to their note-taking solution for macOS. The app works without distracting its user, as it appears instantly on the side of the monitor when the need arises, and hides when not being used.
SideNotes allows Mac users to quickly take notes. To show the app window, user can choose their most preferable way: by a single click of the mouse, by clicking the menu bar icon, by pressing a keyboard shortcut, or by moving the mouse cursor to the screen side. Users can easily save ideas, pictures, task lists and many more, without being distracted from the main workflow. The app instantly appears, sliding over the other open windows with just one click or a keyboard combo. The app can be fully controllable with the keyboard. SideNotes allows users to:
* Smoothly pull out notes from the edge your monitor and easily hide them again
* Organise notes in folders
* Mark notes with colors (color bar or background)
* Choose a user interface theme
* Drag and drop pictures directly from a web browser
* Save links, code snippets or colors
* Create task lists and mark items done
* Create notes directly from the pasteboard
* Drop any file or folder – the app will show the preview of it
* Three text formatting modes are available: Markdown, Plain Text and Code
* Use light or dark mode
* Record their own shortcuts
SideNotes offers its users an easy-to-access task list. Users can add a task by clicking the text formatting button or by using the key combo “CMD-T.” This creates a line with a checkmark, which can be marked as done with a single mouse click. The app can also group notes into folders, each note can have one of six colors.
SideNotes text formatting takes advantage of both Markdown and plain text formatting. Using Markdown syntax, users can format text quickly. Formatting is rendered on the fly, allowing users to format text without knowing complicated syntax. The app also offers a Text Formatting button that displays a menu of various text formatting options.
Markdown formatting can be disabled by choosing Plain Text, or Code mode. Developers will appreciate Code mode, as it allows them to store short code snippets and it’s retrievable with just a click. SideNotes also allows users to drop images into notes from saved images or drag-and-drop them directly from a web browser. The image size is automatically adjusted to the note’s width. SideNotes also stores the original image, so when a user double-clicks it, the original image opens.

* iCloud synchronization between computers (requires macOS 11 or newer)
