What it does

The Stealth Floating Note (Overlay for Developers) Write, render, and review notes directly on top of your editor. Adjust window transparency to view the code underneath, and toggle Stealth Mode to keep notes completely hidden from screen sharing (Zoom, Loom, Teams).

A native macOS floating notepad with adjustable transparency and Stealth Mode that hides your notes from screen sharing (Zoom, Loom, Teams). Local-first.

Write, render, and review notes directly on top of your editor. Adjust window transparency to view the code underneath, and toggle Stealth Mode to keep notes completely hidden from screen sharing (Zoom, Loom, Teams). Drag the note overlay, slide the transparency, and activate Stealth Mode to see the magic in real time. With Stealth Mode ON, screen capture APIs read zero bytes from the notepad window. A native utility designed to fit cleanly inside a developer's toolkit. Configured using native macOS level behaviors to overlay standard editor spaces without taking up split-screen layouts. AppKit-level window exclusion prevents the notepad window from being captured or broadcasted by…from pawankmrai.github.io

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
