Hello hunters! 👋 Over the past few months, we've been working on a macOS app for taking notes without interrupting your flow. We're excited to finally launch Type today! 🚀 Type lets you take quick notes wherever you are, so you can stay productive and focused on your task at hand. It includes the following features: → Accessible from anywhere – Launch type via keyboard shortcut → No synchronization issues – Your notes are stored in text files → Timestamp your notes – The date is automatically attached to each note → Quickly switch between notes – Navigate via arrow keys → Customizable – Select your preferred date style We also plan to develop the following features: → Option to keep the app always visible → Delete a note → Delete a note → Search notes → Export note We built this app to meet our own needs, such as: → Highlights – Capture your thoughts for your next 1-1 → Time Tracking – See where you spend your time → Journaling – Write a note every day → Debugging – Steps to reproduce a bug We would be very curious to discover new use cases. How would the app help you? Let us know! 😊 Thank you. ❤️

@chrismessina Thanks! I didn't know Notational Velocity, looks very interesting! I just checked their website, here are a few key points: - Type doesn't support search yet, but it will use the same text field for sure, - You have to click on New note / Cmd+N to create a new note and choose where you want to save the file - No encryption - You can use Type with the mouse or the keyboard (similar to what Raycast does in terms of keyboard shortcuts) - Add soon as you press Enter, the note is appended to the text file - Since notes are saved in text files, you can put them in your Dropbox/Google Drive/One Drive/Obsidian folder to sync them

@nicol3a @chrismessina I didn't know about NV either! Interesting. I do think time-to-note and time-to-retrieve are super important, though as my personal note base grows, I value structure (e.g. backlinks) more and more.

Congratulations Team Type on your launch on Producthunt! The hassle-free note-taking concept is ingenious. An interesting feature could be a voice-to-text option, helping users quickly jot down while multi-tasking. Can't wait to see where this goes!

@manmohit Thanks a lot for the kind words! This could probably be done via an Apple Shorcut, I plan to support it in a future update.

@manmohit "An interesting feature could be a voice-to-text option" I second this! @nicol3a Btw, any plans for the poor Windows/Android users?

@manmohit @xucian Unfortunately no, I'm macOS/iOS developer. I don't even have the knowledge to develop on other platforms. :/

An idea that I would like, is to have the note added to a Notion database instead of a text file.

@stpe Thanks for the feedback. A few people have asked me if they could save the note in a different place than a text file. I need to do some research on this. :)
