I'm launching a $6 sticky note app for macOS on May 22

Hey IH,

I've been working on Noticky, a menu bar sticky note app for macOS. Launching May 22 on Product Hunt.

The problem I kept having

I work in fullscreen all day — VS Code, Figma, Zoom. Every time I needed to check a note, I had to exit fullscreen or cmd-tab around to find it. macOS Stickies just vanishes behind everything. SideNotes hides in a drawer that closes when you click away. Nothing stays visible.

What Noticky does

One thing: your note stays on top of everything, even fullscreen apps. Hit Cmd+Shift+N from anywhere, type, done. The note stays pinned.

Also has markdown (live rendering, no preview mode), iCloud sync, touch ID lock, smart tags, export to pdf/md/txt. Native Swift, under 5MB.

Why $6 one-time

I looked at what people pay for macOS utilities and $6 felt right — cheap enough that you don't think twice, expensive enough that it's not "free with a catch". No subscription. I use FastSpring for payments since the Mac App Store takes 30% and I wanted to keep it simple.


The stack
- App: Swift, native macOS

- Landing page: Next.js + Tailwind on Vercel

- Payments: FastSpring

- Analytics: Umami (privacy-first, self-hosted)

- SEO: blog articles targeting "sticky notes mac", "always on top mac" etc


What I'd love feedback on

- Does the positioning make sense? ("the note that never disappears, even in fullscreen")

- Am I leaving money on the table at $6? Some people told me to charge more

- Any launch day tips from people who've done PH + multi-platform?

Happy to share numbers after launch.
