As a tech journalist, I’m always on the lookout for innovative apps that cater to the needs of indie developers and users alike. In this week’s installment of Indie App Spotlight, I’m excited to shine the spotlight on Type, a clever and feature-rich note-taking app for Mac.
Type is designed to be a no-frills, distraction-free way to jot down notes – perfect for meetings, brainstorming sessions, or simply capturing quick ideas as they pop into your head. To use it, simply set up a keyboard shortcut (I recommend alt-space for easy access) and Type will spring to life with a text box ready for your thoughts.
One of the standout features of Type is its timestamp capability. As you type, the app automatically captures the exact time and date of each entry, making it easy to reference and revisit your notes later. You can also separate notes by event or keep a single unified note, whichever suits your workflow.
What’s more, Type is designed with security and flexibility in mind. Notes are stored locally on your Mac, ensuring your information remains private and under your control. You can also import notes from other apps like Obsidian, customize your date format, and even switch between plaintext and markdown – a godsend for writers and coders alike.
The developers of Type are committed to continually improving the app, with upcoming features like the ability to always keep the app open and search notes on the horizon. For now, you can download Type for free on the Mac App Store and try it out for 7 days. After that, a one-time purchase of $7.99 will unlock the full version.
So, if you’re looking for a lean, mean note-taking machine that won’t get in the way of your productivity, give Type a try. As an added bonus, you can follow our own Michael on various social media platforms to stay up-to-date on the latest Apple news and app updates.
