What you get
You can capture passing thoughts and work out numbers in one place.
You get a place for the notes and numbers you need while doing something else. Press Option + A to open Antinote and jot down a thought during a webinar or keep a few details handy. When you paste text, formatting and indentation are removed, so you can work with plain text rather than clean up copied styling.
You can work out expenses alongside your notes and convert distances, weights, currencies, and cryptocurrencies as you type. That gives you room to keep the context of a calculation with the numbers, rather than separating your notes from your arithmetic.
When the words you need are stuck in a screenshot or another image, you can drag it into Antinote and extract the text for copying. You can also start a countdown, stopwatch, or Pomodoro timer by typing on a new line, keeping short work sessions in the same place as your scratch notes.
