Support
Getting started
- Open ProNotes and choose the folders where you want notes (you can change them later from the menu-bar or tray icon → Choose folders…).
- In Finder or File Explorer, right-click a folder (or empty space inside it) and choose Add ProNotes note. On Windows 11 it's under Show more options.
- Type your tasks. Click the 📅 chip to add a due date. The note appears whenever that folder is open, inside its window.
Mac: the note doesn't appear
- Screen Recording: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording → turn on ProNotes. (It's used only to read Finder window titles.)
- Finder extension: System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Finder → turn on ProNotes.
- Make sure the folder is inside one of the folders you chose in ProNotes.
- If you just enabled the extension, quit and reopen Finder (Option-right-click the Finder icon in the Dock → Relaunch).
Windows: the note doesn't appear
- Check that the folder is inside one of your chosen folders.
- Notes show for regular folders; virtual locations such as This PC or Recycle Bin don't have notes.
Common questions
Where are my notes stored?
In a hidden .ProNotes file inside each folder. It's plain Markdown, so you can open it in any text editor — ProNotes picks up your edits.
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 use ProNotes on more than one computer?
Yes — the store lets you install it on your own computers with the same Apple ID or Microsoft account. Notes in a synced folder (iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) come along with the folder.
How do I remove a note?
Delete the folder's .ProNotes file, or remove all its tasks.
