Meet Meteorite.
The minimal menu bar note taker.
Quick access
Designed for Flow State.
Meteorite is minimal by design. It's built to be the thinnest layer between a thought and writing it down.
Keep your notes here for instant access, or move them into your long-term notes system when it makes sense.

Instant Capture
Always available from the menu bar. Capture a thought in seconds and return to what you were doing.

Instant Search
Search your notes as you type. Jump to any idea without breaking your flow.

Ultra-lightweight

Frequently asked questions.
Workflow & Features
Why use Meteorite if I already have a notes app?
Meteorite isn’t meant to replace your notes app. It’s designed for quick capture; a fast, low-friction place to write things down without switching windows or breaking focus.
Your notes can live in Meteorite for quick access, or you could move them to Apple Notes, Notion, Obsidian, or elsewhere when it makes sense.
Can I use Meteorite offline?
Yes. Once installed, Meteorite runs fully offline so you can keep capturing anywhere.
Can I set a custom global shortcut?
Yes. You can customize the global shortcut in Settings to fit your workflow and avoid conflicts.
Does it support Markdown-style formatting?
Yes. You get rich text with familiar Markdown shortcuts for fast, lightweight formatting.
Built by someone who values focus.
Meteorite is still evolving.
