GhostNote is a revolutionary OS X note-taker that understands context within the system

Typically, reminder notes with links to specific files or pages do not pop up in memory when needed. GhostNote offers a completely different approach to annotation and reminder creation within the system. He remembers where and what you wrote down, and reminds you of it at the most opportune moment.

I will give as an example several cases at once, in which the novelty is irreplaceable:

• You keep forgetting hotkeys in graphics packages.
• Use Dropbox as a collaborative work tool and add change logs to GhostNote.
• You have agreed on the changes that need to be made to the document, and in order not to forget about them, you have added a checklist to the note book.
• You write a large chunk of code and document the purpose of functions and variables so you don't get confused.

Most of the time, GhostNote exists as a ghost icon on the top bar of OS X. As soon as you go to the system section, open or select the file for which you created a note, the icon is supplemented with an exclamation mark, indicating the presence of an accompanying note. Next, I have identified a very convenient case for myself. Detach the GhostNote window from the top panel and switch it to Ghost mode. Thus, it will constantly be on top of other windows, and at the moment the focus is shifted to another application, it will become semi-transparent.

In the process of creating a note, several formatting options are available: bold or italic font styles, numbered and unnumbered lists, and checkboxes. You can also choose one of six colors for the background of your notes. But this is just a wrapper, the main advantage of GhostNote is that the application works with any file, link, application or document in the system. Added annotations are also saved correctly and instantly loaded at the right time.

GhostNote is a truly new approach to keeping work notes and reminders that are tied to system elements. The only thing you can find fault with is that the annotation is added to one element. The price of the note-taking is $ 10, and a trial version is also available for those who have doubts.
