NotesTab 1.3 Free Menu Bar Notes Utility

NotesTab sits on your Mac’s menu bar and is available at the click of a button – perfect for jotting down a few lines as well as drafting that essay you’ve been pushing aside.

NotesTab is freeware. Whilst developing NotesTab, the developers say thay found themselves using it a lot more than expected. Soon after, they were convinced that this would be an app that literally everyone would find useful – so they thought, why charge for something that everyone should have the pleasure of using?

Unlike other note taking apps, NotesTab’s developers are focused on making a streamlined, practical and beautiful app that you will find yourself using each and every day. They avoided unnecessary features that may sound cool, but in reality, never get used as they are way too overcomplicated.

Share Notes Via Email:
– By clicking the ‘Share Note’ button at the bottom bar of an open note, you can instantly transport its contents to your e-mail client, with the body of the note becoming the body of your drafted e-mail. Pretty cool, huh?

Time Stamps:

-Each note you write features a time stamp by its side which lets you view at a glance when that particular note was jotted down.

Search For Notes:
-Are you an obsessive notes taker? No problem, our high powered dynamic search allows you to find the particular note you’re looking for in seconds.
