I 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

Agree it in the list of things to do.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 :)

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

Fantastic.

Once you have let me know and I will put you on the beta list so you can get to play around with some of the cool new stuff we are implementing.

This looks really neat right now I use NVAlt hotkey'd to Cntr+1 to hide/show and that get's synced to Simplenote which I use on my iPhone. I have a "temp" note where I store short-lived snippets, urls, etc and I normally just do something like:

#Reason I have this saved

Saved data....

....

I'd be interested in trying this out though to see how it compares. The one thing I really like about my setup is everything is synced to my mobile phone but I rarely need my "temp" note on mobile so not having mobile access to notes left with this app might not be that bad.

Hi 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 t…

This is a really great idea, was there anything specific to OS X that allowed you to get the contextual information you need, or do you think you'll be able to port it to other operating systems in the future?
