Hey ya'll

A few months ago I posted a preview of my app built to replace your sticky notes, after loads of work by myself and co-developer, I'm pretty happy to say it's finally live and ready to download.

The app has a subscription pricing model, however there's a trial period to get going, and if you are arriving from HN and you want to activate after trial just mail me if you want a coupon, I'll gladly work out what you need.

I really just want people to use the app and enjoy it the same way I do.

Thanks!

In what use cases would you think users would prefer paying for this rather than using Apple's notes app, which also syncs to my phone, ipad, etc?

Ditto. The best notes are the ones you have with you.

Makes sense to me, I've build a mobile version of Thought Train but it's really just for myself to test out the mobile UX right now.

Appreciate the comments

The users of the app like the ease of access on their Mac, ie. no tabbing around, always in your menubar.

Many users also use it as a quick way to compile to-do lists.

Lastly, the carousel in the menubar, which is the original idea, is a novel way to keep your notes in a just-obtrusive-enough manner.

If you had an Android mobile app, I would consider using this. I currently use OneNote's "quick note" function (launched via Win+N on Windows) for this purpose, synced to my phone. But it's not quite as organized or handy as this looks.
