A little space on your desktop
Stay with
what you’re doing.
Mote gives passing thoughts a place to land. Keep the panel on your desktop, or tuck it into a small orb when you need room.
To-dos
See what’s next
at a glance.
Your pinned list keeps task titles in sight. Capture a thought quickly, organize it with custom categories, and add notes, a planned date, or a star.
Clipboard
What you copied
is still here.
When you turn recording on, text, links, and images can be kept in history. Search, pin, or turn a snippet into a to-do.
Focus
Give one thing
your full attention.
Choose a task and start a focus session. Pause, resume, or take a break at your own pace; see today’s completed sessions afterwards.
Your data, your choice
Kept on your Mac.
Your to-dos, clipboard history, and focus records stay on your Mac. Clipboard recording is off by default and starts only when you turn it on.
Export your records or clear each type of record in Settings. Exports are not encrypted and do not include all settings or the current timer state.

Frequently asked questions
Which Macs can run Mote?
Mote targets macOS 14 or later. The current beta installer is for Apple silicon Macs; installation and operation on other devices have not yet been verified.
Does clipboard recording start automatically?
No. Recording is off by default. Once you enable it, Mote can record items you copy afterwards. You can pause recording or clear history at any time.
Is my data uploaded or synced?
App records are stored locally and Mote does not provide cloud sync. Exported files follow the sync settings of the location you choose.
How do I install Mote?
Open the downloaded DMG and drag Mote to Applications. This Apple silicon beta has not yet been installation-tested on another Mac. It is not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple, so macOS may block it. Download only from a source you trust and follow the system prompts.
