#2This is a really great idea. I take a lot of notes on my desktop but they tend to end up in a stash of markdown files somewhere. Being able to contextually link my thoughts to what I was doing at the time is going to be a boon to productivity.

#3Looks like something I'd use every day if executed properly.
Some things that I think would make this an awesome app:
1) IFTTT integration would be sweet. "If i get an e-mail about something, remind me to do it by putting it in my contextual note for an application"
2) iCloud integration would be sweeter. Unified notes for applications that exist in "desktop form" and "mobile form".
3) A "view all notes" option to be able to browse sans-context
4) The ability to clip media into a note easily

#4I was lucky enough to be a beta tester for this and it's really neat. You don't even think about it, but there is this massive cognitive overhead we all go through trying to sync up some notes that are "over there" where "there" is Evernote, a Google Doc, or a text file and toggling back and forth.
I don't use it for everything (no grocery lists) - but for lots of the computer based tasks I do it is perfect.

#5Hi everyone
I could write a whole book about this project and what i had to go through to get it out but finally I think its there.
Ghostnote allow you to add notes to almost anything on your mac. Files, folders, applications, websites and even documents open inside applications (ex a photoshop document).
I made it because I am not good at structuring and often just need notes for specific context but soon realized that this approach actually has quite a lot of potential.
Next update will have support for applescript so you can customize context.
Let me know if you have any kind of feedback. Everything is appreciated.

#6This looks really clever and great.
I was confused at the end of the video, though. Why did the iTunes note come up when you switched back to the Ghostnote website?

i think i might have mistakenly clicked on itunes outside the view.I will make a better video soon, had a 2 year old hanging on me while i did it :)

#8I love this. I wasn't aware of how much context I have with each note, but now that I watched the video it is immediately obvious.

#9I think it would be useful if the ghost in the menu bar changes color if there's actually a note attached to the document/folder. So that you wouldn't have to constantly check if you actually wrote down notes for it

Not a big deal - again this looks great overall and I really like the concept. I will probably end up buying this.
