Before you start

A few useful answers.

Which version am I downloading?

The download is v0.4.2, with the menu bar app and editor shown on this page. One Universal installer works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Will it work on my Mac?

The current release supports macOS 10.15 and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel. The same download works for both.

Can I sync or back up my notes?

Floatick does not sync between devices. Your todos, notes, tags, and settings are saved in ~/.floatick. Copy that folder to keep a backup.

How do due dates and reminders work?

You can set due dates and see overdue tasks in the list. v0.4.0 does not yet include the reminder popups from v0.3.4.

One less thing to keep in your head.

A small home for the things on your mind.
