Features
Zero friction,
maximum focus
01

One shortcut to pin

⌘ F3 opens a blank note at your cursor. ⌘ ⇧ F3 turns your clipboard into a pinned note instantly.

02

Always on top

Notes float above every other window. Switch apps, open fullscreen — your notes stay exactly where you put them.

03

Stays across Spaces

Works with macOS Mission Control. Four-finger swipe to any desktop — your notes follow you everywhere.

04

Smart drag behavior

Not focused? Drag anywhere to move. Focused for editing? Only the top bar drags. No accidental moves while typing.

05

Pin to position

Right-click → Pin to save a note's exact position. It reappears in the same spot every time you launch TextPin.

06

Groups

Organize notes into groups. New notes land in the current active group. Switch groups from the menu bar.

07

Theme colors

Six built-in colors: warm yellow, white, dark, green, blue, pink. Adjust opacity per note from 50% to 100%.

08

Pure text, monospace

No markdown, no rich text, no distractions. Just ui-monospace font, auto-wrap, and ⌘ scroll to resize.
