ShotNote for Mac: The Instant Contextual Journal

Stop losing thoughts. Start building a searchable, visual knowledge base without ever leaving your workflow.


How ShotNote Eliminates Context Switching

ShotNote is designed around one core idea: speed and flow. It eliminates the multi-step process of capturing a moment, opening a separate note app, and finding the right place to save it all.

  • ⚡ Instant Capture & Context: Hit Ctrl+Shift+Space. ShotNote snaps the screen and immediately opens a dedicated dialog to capture your thought.

  • ✍️ Brain Dump in the Moment: Jot down the context, next steps, or project tags right there. Your screenshot and your notes are automatically paired and timestamped.

  • 🔍 Searchable Visual Journal: All captures are stored locally in your ShotNote Journal, creating a chronological, searchable record of your work and ideas for instant retrieval later.

  • 🔒 Local & Private: In this current version (v1.0), all data remains securely on your Mac.
