Pin a note to one sheet tab and it shows only on that tab — switch tabs and it's gone. Or scope it to the whole spreadsheet, so it rides along on every tab.
You're deep in a big spreadsheet — a Summary tab, a Q3 tab, a dozen more. A note about the Q3 numbers shouldn't be floating on the Summary tab, but desktop sticky notes have no idea which sheet you're looking at. So the reminder for one tab follows you everywhere, or gets buried, and the note and the cells it's about are never lined up.
TackNote reads the sheet's gid from the URL — the bit that changes when you click a different tab. Pin a note while you're on the Q3 tab and it sticks to that tab, hidden on the Summary tab and every other one. Switch back and it's right there.
Some notes belong to the whole workbook, not one tab. When you tack, choose "this sheet" or "whole document." Whole-document notes ride along on every tab of the spreadsheet, wherever you are in it.
Open TackBoard, see a note, click Reveal — TackNote reopens the exact spreadsheet in your browser, on the tab the note belongs to. The note is the shortcut back to the work.
Browsers are a Full-tier integration — TackNote scopes web notes to the page URL. For Google Sheets that means the spreadsheet's document id and the tab's gid, so a note can live on one tab or the whole workbook.
Pin a note to a single tab using the gid in the URL. It shows only on that tab and hides on every other one. No per-cell or per-range guessing — clean, per-tab scope.
Choose "whole document" and a note rides along on every tab of the spreadsheet, scoped by the document id. One note for the whole file when that's what you need.
The same note can appear in Chrome, Safari, and other browsers, matched by URL — and it follows you across your Macs through your own iCloud, end-to-end encrypted.
Notes, voice memos, and transcripts are encrypted. Nothing lives on our servers — sync runs through your own iCloud, and the only network call is license validation.
"The note about the Q3 numbers stays on the Q3 tab. Right where the work is — not floating on the desktop."
