About Antinote
Antinote is a lightweight macOS scratchpad app ($5 one-time) designed for temporary notes, quick calculations, and unit/currency conversions you type inline without switching apps. It strips formatting on paste, supports built-in timers (stopwatch, countdown, Pomodoro), OCR image-to-text, and swipe navigation between notes. It is intended as a fast capture layer alongside permanent note systems like Obsidian — jot, calculate, then push finished content out when ready.
