Stop losing your place. TackNote pins a note to each browser tab, Google Doc or Sheet, PDF, or research page — and to each email — so your notes are always exactly where you need them, never buried on the desktop.
Every tab has its own note. Switch tabs and your notes switch with you. Come back to a research page and your annotations are right there — not buried in a doc, not on a floating sticky covering your screen.
Pin notes to each research tab and to each document. Your annotations on a Wikipedia article stay with that article; your summary of a PDF or Word doc stays with that document. Never lose a thought between sources.
TackNote scopes to the individual sheet tab — not just the document. Different notes on different sheets in the same spreadsheet, and a note per Google Doc. Perfect for data-heavy coursework. How Sheets scoping works →
Pin a note to a single email in Gmail or Outlook. "Reply to the TA about the extension." It surfaces the moment you open that exact email — not the whole inbox.
Record a voice memo right on the note during a lecture. It is transcribed on your Mac where supported, free and instant. Drop the transcript into the note body for later review.
Pin a to-do list to your course homepage or Canvas assignment. Every time you open that tab your checklist is waiting. Live "N of M complete" tracker keeps you on pace.
See every note in one corkboard view. Organize by class using Projects and sub-folders. Search across all notes, checklists, and voice transcripts instantly.
Works with Safari, Chrome, Brave, Arc, Firefox, and Edge. Each URL gets its own note, with per-tab scoping in Google Sheets and a note per email in Gmail and Outlook.

"It's the difference between a wall of forgotten stickies and a note that's waiting for you exactly when and where you need it."
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.
