NotchStar Quick Notes limits: one note, plain text, no sync
Quick Notes in NotchStar is one note of plain text. It has no list of notes, no formatting, no attachments and no syncing. That is by design: it is a scratchpad for a number, a name or a thing to ask later.
The limits
- One note. Open the tab and you see the same text every time. There is no way to start a second note.
- Plain text. No bold, bullets, checklists, images or links that you can click.
- No sync. The note stays on the Mac where you wrote it. If you expected it on another Mac or iPhone, it will not appear. That is the answer to “Quick Notes not syncing”.
- No search. With one note, there is nothing to search across.
Length
NotchStar sets no length limit of its own in the code. The note is stored in the app’s preferences, which are meant for small amounts of text, so keep it short. For long writing, use a notes app.
When to pick something else
If you need folders, sync or formatting, use Apple Notes or another notes app. Quick Notes is for the thing you would otherwise write on a sticky note.
See where the note is stored and how to clear it. The tool is described on the Quick Notes page.
