## What is Pane?

Pane is a premium sticky notes app designed for people who think in text.

  Write in Markdown with a live WYSIWYG editor that hides syntax markers as you type — just like Bear. Bold, italic, headings, code, strikethrough, and links all render beautifully while keeping your notes in plain text.

  WRITE & ORGANIZE
  • Floating sticky notes on your Mac desktop with frosted glass backgrounds
  • Six Apple-inspired colors — Silver, Space Gray, Gold, Rose Gold, Blue, Purple
  • Checklist mode with tap-to-toggle checkboxes
  • Smart Folders auto-sort notes into Work, Personal, Shopping, Ideas, and Journal
  • Kanban board to track notes through Backlog, To Do, In Progress, and Done
  • Wiki-style [[note links]], @mentions, and backlinks to connect your thoughts
  • 50+ curated templates for meetings, journals, projects, movies, books, and more

  FOCUS & PRODUCTIVITY
  • Focus Timer with Pomodoro cycles built into every note
  • Reminders with local notifications and Apple Calendar sync
  • Natural date detection — write "meeting on Friday" and Pane suggests a reminder
  • Typewriter mode keeps your cursor centered while you write
  • Voice transcription for hands-free note capture

  EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT
  • Mac menu bar app — always one click away, never clutters your Dock
  • Full-featured iOS app with grid, list, and kanban views
  • iCloud sync keeps everything in sync across all your devices
  • Apple Watch companion for quick capture on the go
  • Lock Screen widgets to keep important notes visible
  • Dynamic Island shows your active note while multitasking
  • Spotlight search and Handoff for seamless workflow
  • Siri Shortcuts integration

  PRIVATE & SECURE
  • Lock sensitive notes with Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID
  • All data synced through your personal iCloud — we never see your notes
  • No account required, no tracking, no ads

  Pane is built for people who want their notes fast, beautiful, and out of the wa
