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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Switch documents and notes appear and disappear on their own — no clicking, no managing. They follow the file you're in.
Notes, voice memos, and transcripts live encrypted on your Mac. No cloud, no account. The only network call is license validation.
Record a revision note hands-free while designing, keep an export checklist with a live "N of M" tracker, or sketch a quick mark.
"The revision note shows up on the right document — right where the work is — not lost on the desktop."

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

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.

No accounts, no trackers, no servers we control. Not even we can read your notes.
