Tyke, an app to take notes that you will always have available in the menu bar

The truth is that every time we are eliminating more paper from our lives. This not only helps to have a more orderly environment, but we also help the environment. In the offices a key element are those small notebooks or the famous "Post-it" where we can quickly write our notes when we are on the phone or simple reminders such as a number or a password.

The downside of this is that if the paper falls, we will have nothing else to do. This can be supplemented with free app Tyke. A small note application that installs on your Mac and becomes visible in the menu bar of your computer. Once installed, a small icon in the form of a notebook will appear in your bar and only by clicking on it will the box appear where you can take your notes.

Its operation is simple and does not allow to make flourishes. Tyke is good for one thing only: take quick notes and keep them there until we decide to delete them. Also, something very important is that we know that these notes should not always be visible. That is, the developer knows that there is sensitive information and what better way than to be able to hide our annotations at any time. This will be as easy as clicking on any point on the screen again so that the note is hidden. For it to reappear, we only have to click on the icon on the top bar again.

Now, as they indicate from cultofmac, the only "but" Tyke has is that it is impossible to launch it through a keyboard shortcut; you should always resort to using the mouse. From the portal they indicate an alternative to Tyke —SwiftText—, which does add a keyboard shortcut, but which on the other hand has a price of 2,29 euros through the Mac App Store. Remember that Tyke is not downloaded through the Apple platform, so you must have the option to install enabled from software Of third parties.
