Suggestions:

* View all notes and navigate to file or folder on click (or something). It should be easy to use a note to find the file.

* Backup to Dropbox (for example) and offline backup and restore.

* Attach multiple notes to a single file or folder.

* Categories or tag-based search.

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…

I like this. I may try it out in spite of having too many note-taking strategies already (and this wouldn't replace everything else). Please do share your story - it's good marketing and it makes people feel better about paying (a measly) $5 when they understand what and who is behind it. Given the value and the ongoing work you'll be doing to add support for different contexts, I think you could raise the price to $…

Wow some really great ideas there.

We will be using the ability to store notes in files and folders. This will be especially helpful if you use ex. dropbox. that way you can share notes and dropbox takes care of the syncing.

The note should open upon clicking on something with a note (as an option, as I can see this annoying some users), or do some sort of indication on the icon that there is a note. I will forget to use it properly as it is, but I can see it having tremendous value otherwise.

Also a humble request. I literally went through 3 developers and too much money until I was so luck to find @jimmyhoughjr. Jimmys primary expertise is iOS but I convinced him to help me out on this project for the money I could afford. Jimmy could use some freelance work as he has been out of work for while now (and live in the mid-west). So if you need an extra hand on som iOS work don't hesitate to connect with him…

Hi Thomas,

I remember discussing Ghostnote with you when you were designing mockups back in October last year. Thrilled to see it released.

Looks 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…

Definitely +1 on the "view all notes" options. Knowing full well that Ghostnote was intended for people like me that don't necessarily use structure for note-taking and need the context, I don't want to find my self in a position of not being able to find an important note because I'm not looking at that file/URL at that moment.

We will add it.
