Deep integration · Affinity

Affinity users:
your notes now know which document you're in.

Pin a note to one Affinity document and it shows only on that document. Switch to another file and it's gone — back to where it belongs the moment you return.

The problem

You bounce between files.
Your notes don't follow.

You've got several Affinity documents open at once — a logo here, a layout there, a photo edit in the next window. Revision notes pile on the desktop and bleed across every file you switch to. The one tweak that belongs to THIS layout is lost among the rest, and the note you needed is never on screen with the document it's about.

How it works

Notes that follow the document,
not your desktop.

🖼️

Per document

Tack a note while a document is open and it binds to that file. TackNote reads the document name from the Affinity window title — and ignores the changing zoom % — so the note knows exactly which file it belongs to.

🎯

This file or whole app

Choose at tack time. Bind the note to just this document, or let it cover all of Affinity. One quick pick when you make the note, and it stays that way.

🔄

Switches with your work

Open another document and the note hides. Come back to the one it belongs to and it returns on its own. No clicking, no managing — the note follows the file you're in.

What TackNote tracks in Affinity.

Affinity is a Deep-tier integration — TackNote scopes per document using the window title, with the zoom % stripped so the note stays bound as you work. It supports the new all-in-one Affinity and the v2 apps: Photo, Designer, and Publisher.

📑

Per-document scope

Bind a note to "this document" or "the whole app." Document-scoped notes hide on every other file; whole-app notes ride along across all of Affinity.

👁️

Live show / hide

Switch documents and notes appear and disappear on their own — no clicking, no managing. They follow the file you're in.

🔒

Private & on-device

Notes, voice memos, and transcripts live encrypted on your Mac. No cloud, no account. The only network call is license validation.

🗣️

Voice + To-do + Sketch

Record a revision note hands-free while designing, keep an export checklist with a live "N of M" tracker, or sketch a quick mark.

FAQ

Affinity, answered.

Does it work with the new Affinity app and the v2 apps?

Yes — the new all-in-one Affinity and Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher 2 are all supported.

Will the note stay put while I zoom and pan?

Yes. TackNote ignores the zoom % in the window title and stays bound to the document, so the note holds as you zoom and pan.

Can a note cover the whole app instead of one file?

Yes. Choose "whole app" when tacking and the note shows across Affinity instead of binding to a single document.

Does TackNote work across multiple monitors?

Yes. Notes follow the Affinity window wherever it is, including across multiple displays.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. After that, a one-time $24.99 license unlocks TackNote on up to 2 Macs.

End-to-end encrypted

Private by design. Yours alone.

Every note is sealed with AES-256 encryption the moment you write it — the key lives in your Mac’s Keychain, never on a server. Switch on iCloud sync and your notes stay end-to-end encrypted across your devices through Apple’s CloudKit: encrypted on your Mac before they leave it, and readable only by you. No accounts, no trackers, no servers we control. Not even we can read your notes.
