NotesFloat v0.4.0

What's new

Added

• About NotesFloat in Settings and the menu bar menu: version, website, GitHub and what's new.
• Markdown shortcuts while typing: # , ## , ### make Title, Heading and Subheading; **bold**,
  _italic_, ~~strike~~, `code` and [text](url) turn into formatting when you type the closing marker
  (⌘Z brings the markers back); ``` then ↩ starts a Monostyled paragraph. snake_case, 2*3*4 and
  #tags stay as typed.
• Paste Markdown: ⌘V turns copied Markdown (from ChatGPT, GitHub, READMEs…) into Apple Notes formatting:
  headings, bold, italic, code, links, and bulleted, numbered and nested lists. ⌥⌘V pastes plain text.
  Task items become ☐ / ☑ bullets, since Apple Notes doesn't accept checklists from other apps.

Install

1. Download NotesFloat-*.dmg below, open it, and drag NotesFloat to Applications.
2. Open it. This build isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch: go to
   System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to NotesFloat.
   (Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/NotesFloat.app" in Terminal.)
3. The welcome guide walks you through access to Apple Notes and the optional Full Disk Access.

Already using NotesFloat 0.3 or later? It updates itself; you don't need to download anything.
Earlier versions don't include the updater, so install this one manually once.

Requires macOS 26 or later (Apple silicon or Intel). Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.txt.
