Notes] Add built-in floating notes for quick capture without leaving your workflow: create and search notes from the launcher, edit rich text with tables and image attachments in dedicated windows, pin notes (including across macOS Spaces), restore recent notes, export Markdown, text, or HTML, sync note text with Cloud Sync while keeping images on the device, and save text, files, or images to Notes from Clipboard, Explorer, File Search, Screenshot, Selection, and Shell.
