ArrivalSentinel vs Menu Bar Notes

ArrivalSentinel is a simple arrival reminder: when you enter a chosen radius around a destination, you’ll get a notification saying you’re almost there. Great for Commuting: prepare to get off or transfer Pickups: remind yourself (or message someone) when you’re close Errands: prompt what to bring as you approach Trips & drives: arrive prepared, not rushed Key Features Geofence Arrival Alerts: automatic notifications when you enter the area Custom Radius: set a range for each destination History Log: review when and where alerts were triggered Set from History: create a new alert by reusing a past destination in one tap Fast Setup: add a place → set radius → enable Low Distraction: alerts only when it matters—near the destination Privacy Location access is used only to enable arrival alerts and (optional) history logs. You can change permissions anytime in iOS Settings.

Easily reach into your menubar to quickly jot down a thought or reference, edit it on your synced iPhone and iPad app with your private iCloud keeping every device in step. No accounts or signups are needed and no data is collected. I always wanted a simple tool like this and I hope someone else finds it useful. On Mac, it sits in your menu bar. Click the icon or press ⌥⌘N from any app to open your notes, and click the icon again or press Esc to put them away. On iPhone and iPad, it's a clean, touch-first editor that stays out of your way. Markdown Style Blocks Every note is built from blocks: text, headings, collapsible toggles, to-dos with checkboxes, and code. Type shortcuts like "# ", "> ", or "[] " at the start of a line and the block transforms as you write. Toggles nest without limit, so a quick list can grow into a real outline. Browser Style Tabs Notes are tabs. Switch with ⌘1–⌘9, open a new note with ⌘T, close one with ⌘W. Privately Sync over iCloud- No Account Needed iCloud sync keeps iPhone, iPad, and Mac in step automatically. No account to create, no subscription — your notes live in your personal, private iCloud.
