Window, Dock & Menu Bar

Design intent: Slot seamlessly into optimized workflows. Don't take up more space than needed.

Pin Antinote to top

• This will pin the Antinote window above other windows.
• Currently does not support full screen mode.
• Turn on "Restore pin state on open" (Settings > General > Window) to have Antinote come back pinned if it was pinned when you closed it.

Shortcut:

• ⌘ + P — Pin/Unpin Antinote to Top

Close and open window

• Close the window using ⌘ + W.
• Hide/Show using ⌘ + O, toggling the Global Hotkey (⌥ + A), or clicking the button in the status menu. If you use multiple spaces, Antinote will appear on the currently active space.

Shortcuts:

• ⌘ + W — Close window
• ⌘ + O — Hide/Show while Antinote is focused
• ⌥ + A — Hide/Show anytime (Global Hotkey)

Dock + Menu Bar

• Choose where Antinote lives in Settings > General > Menu bar & Dock: the Dock, a pseudo menu bar, both, the traditional menu bar, or nothing at all.
• If it shows in neither the menu bar nor the Dock ("Nothing"), it will only be accessible via the Global Hotkey or a launcher (e.g. Spotlight, Alfred, Raycast).
• Using the app in "Nothing" mode will also prevent the system menu from showing up. Though all system menu options are accessible via the app UI.
• Antinote will show over full-screen apps in Pseudo Menu Bar mode and Traditional Menu Bar mode.
• At the moment, going full screen when using "Nothing" mode will lead to a bug where you can't un-fullscreen the window.
• You can set Antinote to hide whenever it loses focus and isn't pinned ("Hide Antinote when it loses focus" in Settings > General > Window). This is helpful when using it in Pseudo Menu Bar mode on top of full screen apps.
• Changing the mode requires an app restart — Antinote will ask.

Settings:

• Show Antinote in — Dock Only | Pseudo Menu Bar | Dock and Pseudo Menu Bar | Traditional Menu Bar | Nothing
• Hide Antinote when it loses focus — On | Off

Traditional Menu Bar with dropdown note + fullscreen support

• This mode will put Antinote in the traditional menu bar with a note that drops down from the icon.
• This dropdown will appear over fullscreen apps.

Settings:

• Dropdown window size (only if Traditional Menu Bar is active) — Width x Height
