TackNote anchors a note to the exact browser tab — a GitHub PR, a Linear issue, a staging dashboard — or to any app window you're in. Switch away and it hides. Come back and it returns. Your notes follow your work, not your desktop.
Stop losing track of where you left off. TackNote keeps notes anchored to the right window, tab, or project — disappearing when you leave and reappearing when you return.
Your dev tools live in browser tabs, so TackNote anchors a note to each one by URL. A note per issue, per PR, per repo page — your context on that specific ticket, waiting when you return.
Pin a note to a specific GitHub PR URL. Questions to ask, things to verify, concerns to raise. All anchored to that exact review tab — not floating on your desktop.
A to-do list anchored to your staging dashboard URL. Every time you open that tab your deployment checklist is waiting. Live N of M complete tracker.
Any editor or terminal — VS Code, Cursor, Xcode, iTerm — gets honest window-level anchoring. The note hides when you switch away from that window and returns when you come back. Not per-workspace, but always where you left it.
Search across every note, checklist item, and voice transcript in one place. Find that thought you had about the auth bug three sprints ago. Instantly.
See a note in TackBoard and click Reveal. TackNote jumps to the exact URL or window the note belongs to. Notes as navigation.
GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion-web — anything that lives in a browser tab gets per-URL scoping automatically. Works across Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Arc. No setup, no configuration.
VS Code, Cursor, Xcode, iTerm, your shell — any native app gets window-level anchoring out of the box. It's honest scoping: notes follow the window, not the open file or workspace.

Set custom global shortcuts for Stick, Float, and Stack. Create a note without leaving your current context. Lives in the menu bar, out of your way.
