Made by a human
Hi, I'm Nicolas 👋
I take a lot of quick notes during the day: an idea in the middle of a meeting, a task while debugging, a thought I don't want to lose. Every time, I had to switch apps, find the right note, and by the time I got back, my focus was gone.
So I built Type. Press a hotkey, type your thought, hit Enter, and you're back to whatever you were doing. Everything is saved to plain text files on your Mac, timestamped, and ready to open in your favorite editor.
It's been my daily capture tool since 2023, and I'm still improving it.
