Think. Dump.
Vanish.

A frameless note window that slides up from the corner of your screen — over fullscreen too — catches the thought, and gets out of the way. Focus lands in the note the moment it appears, and goes back exactly where you left it when you dismiss.

Sticky notes want to be seen. Note apps want you to organize. Aside wants to disappear.

Built for the phone number mid-call, the task that lands while you're deep in something else, the reading timer for a study session. Notes here are temporary: dump, act, delete.

01 — Write

Markdown,
rendered as you type.

Headings, bullets with three indent levels, numbered lists that count along with you, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, interactive checklists. Markers stay hidden, bold and italic reveal theirs only while your caret is inside. Paste from anywhere; formatting is stripped.

Lecture notes
that keep up.

Wrap a formula in $…$ and it typesets the moment you close it. Put $$…$$ on its own line for a centered display equation. Click back in and the source returns, exactly as you typed it.

Type ```cpp and press Enter for a code block that closes itself. Highlighting for C/C++, Python, Verilog and SystemVerilog — leave the language off and Aside guesses it from the code. Enter keeps your indentation, Tab moves two spaces, and one click copies the block.

Nine homes.

Corners, center, halves, thirds — each position bindable to its own global hotkey. Or hold Ctrl and drag the window wherever it should live today.

Alt+A is only the default. Rebind it to whatever your hands already know, and give the positions you use most their own keys.

Per-note tints

Earth tones in light, deep tints in dark. The whole note takes the color — a glance tells you which is which.

Ctrl+F,

Twenty notes acting as a carousel, not a filing cabinet. Ctrl+← / →, a two-finger swipe, or the hover table of contents. And when you can't remember where you dumped it: search everything, with context around each match. Click to jump.
