Catchall Notes

A Mac notes app that treats your notes like documents.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store

A word-processor toolbar · resizable images & inline PDFs · search that reads your attachments — a native app for Mac.

Notes that behave like documents

For people who live in Apple Notes but have outgrown its formatting and layout. A familiar three-pane layout, with a word processor underneath.

A real formatting toolbar

Always above the editor: bold and italic, a clean set of styles — heading, subheading, body, monospaced — colors, bulleted and numbered lists, and indent, with undo throughout.

A title that stays put

Every note gets one dedicated, consistently-styled title, pinned above the body so it stays visible as you scroll. No more first-line-as-title guesswork.

Images and PDFs you can actually read

Resize an inline image to any width — or snap it to Small, Medium, Fit Width, or Actual. Attached PDFs render page-by-page, inline and legible, instead of shrinking to a tiny icon.

Find it, organize it, keep it

Fast to move through, and careful with what you put in it.

Folders that remember

A nested sidebar with note counts, drag-to-reorder, and re-parenting — and it keeps what you had open open, across launches. A ⌘K quick-open palette, back/forward history, and a breadcrumb make jumping around instant.

Search that reads your attachments

On-device text recognition pulls the words out of your images and scanned PDFs, so a photo of a receipt or a scanned page is findable by what it actually says.

Yours to keep and take with you

A soft-delete trash with a 30-day window and Put Back, plus a full-library backup and readable exports to PDF, Markdown, and RTFD. Nothing you write is locked in.

Private by design Catchall is fully local and sandboxed. Your notes live on your Mac in the app's own container — no account to create, no cloud required, and no analytics, trackers, or network calls of any kind. If you bring notes over from Apple Notes, the import is strictly one-way and read-only; Catchall never writes back to it. Read the privacy policy or get support.
