SideNotes 1.6.1 SIP ON For Mac
SideNotes stops you from wrestling with windows every time you need to check a note. The app stays on top of everything else on your screen and slides in from the side with a single click or keyboard shortcut. You can even handle everything through the keyboard alone without reaching for the mouse at all.
With SideNotes you can:
- slide your notes in from the edge of your screen and tuck them away just as quickly
- color code notes and sort them into folders
- drag and drop images directly from your browser
- store links, code snippets, or even color values
- build task lists and check things off as you finish them
- create notes straight from your clipboard
- drop in text files or entire folders
- write in Markdown, Plain Text, or Code depending on what you need
*** You need to disable the System Integrity Protection (SIP) to perform the selected Application.
Compatibility: macOS10.14 or later
