Lynote

Lynote is a lightweight macOS menubar app designed to revolutionize how you manage your clipboard. It automatically captures everything you copy—text, links, and screenshots—stores it locally, and allows you to organize it quickly. Lynote is currently available for free during its Early-Access phase and is compatible with macOS 11 and later versions.

Benefits

Lynote offers several key advantages that make it a valuable tool for macOS users:

• Always-On Capture: Lynote captures every copy event instantly without requiring any hotkeys or causing delays. It shows the copied items live in your Inbox, ensuring you never miss a snippet.
• Inbox to Categories: Lynote follows the 'Zero-Inbox' ritual, allowing you to review copied items later and organize them into unlimited custom folders with a simple drag-and-drop action.
• Blazing Search: The app features a powerful search function that filters by full-text and type in real-time, helping you find old snippets quickly without hunting through Notes, Mails, or chat logs.
• Private by Design: Lynote prioritizes your privacy. All your data is stored locally on your Mac using secure Core Data/SQLite storage, ensuring no cloud or account is needed.
• Sneak-Peek AI Power: Lynote is set to introduce AI-powered features soon, allowing you to summarize, translate, or tag any clip with just one click, all running on on-device models.
• Free for Early Pioneers: As an Early-Access user, you can help shape Lynote's future by influencing features and enjoying lifetime perks reserved for Pilot Testers.
