Hi everyone! Remember sticky notes? They are useful but really messy. So we decided to upgrade them - that’s how SideNotes appeared! And to keep your desktop clean, we moved the notes on the side. SideNotes keeps handy notes organized in folders. Each note may have a color. Text formatting? Out of the box. Not only Markdown but also tasks, pictures, colors and links. Drop them or create a note right from the pasteboa…

This looks promising.

Any plans to have an option to shrink the note to a smaller vertical size? Right now, every note has a large empty bottom border (where the icons and timestamp go when in edit mode). It would be nice if the note "expanded" on edit (and with minimal animation!) and then shrunk down to a minimal size when exiting edit mode.

A couple other features I'd like to see:

• A preference to reduce the margin/padding around the four sides of each note to make it even more compact

• A way to specify a different "code" font (Pragmata Pro!)

• Reduce the height of the main SideNotes window (where you select a folder) so it's just tall enough to show the existing folders

Keep up the great work on your apps. Your company definitely makes some useful tools. :)

This doesn't appear to support multiple monitors, it's pinned to my the primary display on my MBP. Would try it again if you add proper support.

What do you mean by proper support? Currently the window changes display according to the position of cursor.
