Plume v3 is online! Plume is a free Light menubar app for taking Notes. I've been looking for a long time for a simple popup app in the menubar to get a little notepad. I found different solutions like Tyke for example which is really nice, but a little too simple for the job and it has a too small writing area. I also found other nice solutions but the apps were always no free and too complex for the need. I couldn't find anything I liked, so I took advantage of the confinement to make this app! Plume is a Fast and Light app for taking notes and can be connected with Apple Watch and Mac. Plume basic is free, so enjoy!
