OnEdit 6.0 · Available now

On Edit

A note can go anywhere your work does.

In OnEdit 6.0, Quick Notes move from a focused local library to a rich workspace tab to a floating Sticky Note—without creating competing copies.

OnEdit 6.0 is available now on the Mac App Store.

The OnEdit foundation

The foundation in every release.

One note · three working modes

Capture it. Develop it. Keep it in view.

The note changes where it is presented, not what it is. Manager, editor tab, and Sticky Note all coordinate around one local note.

01

Capture and manage

Quick Notes

Create a rich local note, then find it with search, tags, Favorites, Archive, or Recently Deleted.

02

Develop the idea

Rich workspace tab

Open in Editor moves the same note into a rich .onedit tab beside your text and code files.

03

Keep it nearby

Sticky Note

Make Sticky floats the note above normal windows. Back to Quick Notes returns it to the library.

Native where it matters

Rich by default. Portable when you need it.

One native editor keeps JSON and HTML implementation details out of the way. Style text, add lists, choose fonts and color, or copy as rich or plain text using familiar Mac controls.

One editable owner

Manager, rich tab, and Sticky Note share one autosave session per note. When a tab owns the editor, the manager links to it instead of opening a competing editor. Command-S flushes pending changes.

Local, app-owned files

Notes are versioned .onedit JSON files stored locally—no SQLite, account, sync server, tracking, or active Web content path. Save As can produce portable .onedit, Plain Text, or HTML.

Sticky without getting stuck

Sticky Notes stay editable and focusable above normal windows. Frameless mode is reversible, and each note remembers its local position and size.
