Nifty! Pretty similar to Calca and Soulver (Mac). Only wish you could save documents, but maybe that will come later?

Install from the command line

  • winget install -e --id JonatanHeyman.Heynote
  • brew install --cask heynote

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is Heynote?

Heynote is a dedicated scratchpad for developers. It functions as a large persistent text buffer where you can write down anything you like. Works great for that Slack message you don't want to accidentally send, a JSON response from an API you're working with, notes from a meeting, your daily to-do list, etc.

The Heynote buffer is divided into blocks, and each block can have its own Language set (e.g. JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, etc.). This gives you syntax highlighting and lets you auto-format that JSON response.
