TackNote pins a note to a specific Resolve project — and the exact page you're on. Your colour notes show up on the Color page. Your edit notes show up on the Edit page. Switch away and they're gone.
You're three pages deep in a grade — a client tweak on the Color page, a music cue to fix on Fairlight, a re-render note for Deliver. Sticky notes pile on the desktop where you can't see them, a second monitor fills with clutter, and the one reminder you needed is buried under the timeline. The note and the work that needs it are never on screen at the same time.
Tack a note while you're on the Color page and it only appears on Color. Fusion notes stay on Fusion, edit notes on Edit. TackNote reads Resolve's active page live and shows the right note for where you are — Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, Deliver.
Notes are scoped to the project that's open. Switch from "Client A — Promo" to "Wedding Final Cut" and the first project's notes hide while the second's return. No mixing, no leftover reminders from yesterday's edit.
Open TackBoard, see a note, click Reveal — TackNote brings Resolve forward and switches to the exact page the note belongs to. The note is the shortcut back to the work.
DaVinci Resolve is a Deep-tier integration — TackNote scopes to the project and the page, reads the active page several times a second, and reveals back to it.
Bind a note to "this page" or "the whole project." Page-scoped notes hide on every other page; project notes ride along across all seven pages.
Switch pages or projects and notes appear and disappear on their own — no clicking, no managing. They follow Resolve, frame by frame.
Notes, voice memos, and transcripts live encrypted on your Mac. No cloud, no account. Our only analytics is an anonymous version number, sent once on first launch.
Record a client note hands-free while grading, keep a render checklist with a live "N of M" tracker, or sketch a quick frame-region mark.
Resolve is one window that behaves like seven applications. A note that only knew you were in Resolve would be nearly useless, so TackNote scopes on two axes at once: which project is open, and which page of it you are on.
Resolve names its window after the open project, cleanly and without a suffix, so that title is a reliable project key. A note tacked while one project is open disappears when you switch to another, and returns when you come back.
Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight and Deliver each hold their own notes. A grading note lives on Color, a render reminder on Deliver, and neither shows up while you are in the other.
Reveal brings Resolve forward and switches to the right page, but it deliberately stops short of force-loading a project, because doing that to Resolve from outside is crash-prone. It opens Resolve and lets you pick.
That last decision is the honest one rather than the impressive one. Reveal could technically try to load the project for you, and on a bad day it would take Resolve down mid-session with unsaved work in it. Opening Resolve and standing aside is worth more than a demo that occasionally costs you an afternoon.
"The grade note shows up on the Color page. The render note shows up on Deliver. Right where the work is — never on the desktop."
Yes. TackNote anchors to Resolve's window, open project, and active page on both the free DaVinci Resolve and Resolve Studio.
All of them — Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, and Deliver. A note can stick to one page or ride the whole project across every page.
Yes. A project-scoped note hides when you open a different project and returns when you come back to the one it belongs to.
Yes. Notes follow the Resolve window wherever it is, including across multiple displays.

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 are encrypted on your Mac before they travel through your own iCloud. Apple holds the keys to that sync unless you turn on Apple’s Advanced Data Protection, which makes it end-to-end encrypted and readable only on your devices. No accounts, no trackers, no servers we control. Not even we can read your notes.
