About Flyout
Flyout is a native macOS menu bar note-taking app with a rich-text note panel that slides out from the edge of the screen. It is aimed at developers and writers, with support for code blocks, task lists, reminders, Markdown, slash commands, syntax-highlighted code blocks, inline images, colors, and highlights. Notes are stored as Markdown in a local database and can be exported as .md files; with iCloud sync enabled, notes, folders, task status, and reminders can be synced in your own iCloud account, and offline writing is supported.
