ProNotes

For Mac & Windows

Sticky notes that live in your folders.

Open a project folder and its to-do list is right there, inside the window — deadlines colored by urgency. Close it, and the note steps aside until you come back.

Deadlines don't belong in an app you forget to open. They belong in the folder you open every morning.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose your folders

    Tell ProNotes which folders it can work in — your projects, clients or courses.

  2. 2

    Right-click → Add ProNotes note

    Add a note to any folder straight from Finder or File Explorer. Type tasks, add due dates.

  3. 3

    Open the folder, see the note

    The note sits inside that folder's window and moves with it. Other folders stay clean.

List

Checkboxes and color-coded dates: red is late, amber is soon, green can wait.

Timeline

Every deadline on one line against today, so the crunch weeks jump out.

Countdown

Just the next thing due, big. For when you need focus, not a list.

Small app, thoughtful details

Count badges on folders

See how many tasks are open — and if any are late — from the folder icon, before you even open it.

Desktop reminders

A nudge the day before and when something's due, even when the folder is closed.

Follows your folders

Rename or move a folder and its note goes with it. Synced folders bring their notes along.

Plain Markdown

Each note is a simple text file in its folder. Open it in any editor; ProNotes picks up your changes.

Six paper colors

Yellow, blue, green, pink, purple or dark — readable in light and dark mode.

Out of your way

Lives in the menu bar or tray, starts at login, and never floats over other apps.

Private by design

No account. No cloud. No analytics. ProNotes makes no network requests at all — your notes stay in your folders on your computer. Read the privacy policy.

One price. Yours to keep.

Questions

Which systems does it run on?

macOS 13 Ventura or later (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11.

Why does the Mac version ask for Screen Recording?

Only to read the titles of Finder windows, so each note lands on the right window. ProNotes never captures or saves images of your screen.

Do sub-folders show the parent's note?

No — each folder has its own note. Add one to a sub-folder if you want it there.

Can I share notes with my team?

If your folder is shared through iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or a network drive, its note file travels with it, and teammates with ProNotes see it too.
