How do I install NotesMate?
Requires macOS 13 or later. Download the DMG, drag NotesMate into Applications, then open it. Find it in your menu bar.
Why does it ask to control Notes?
macOS asks for permission when you first save. Allow NotesMate to control Notes so it can write your note. If access is denied, your draft stays safe. You can allow access in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, then try again.
Is it available in my language?
NotesMate supports 15 languages and follows your macOS language preference. The website also supports all 15; choose yours in the menu at the top.
