**TackNote** is a Mac sticky-note app with a twist: every note **pins to the exact thing you're working in** — a specific window, browser tab, document, folder, chat, or task — and only appears when you're there. Switch away and it tucks out of sight; come back and it's waiting, right where you left it.
No more desktops buried under stale stickies. The right note shows up in the right place, automatically.
**What you get:**
- Context-aware notes that follow your windows, tabs, and docs
- TackBoard — a notebook-style board to organize everything
- Checklists, voice notes, reminders, and projects
- 12 themes, including real glass
- Private notes locked behind Touch ID
- Optional iCloud sync, encrypted with your own keys
**Private by design.** Your notes live encrypted on your Mac — no account required. End-to-end encrypted and notarized by Apple, so there's nothing sketchy to trust.
**Simple pricing.** Free 14-day trial, no card. Then a one-time **$24.99** — yours forever, no subscription. Works on up to 3 Macs.
Ideal for anyone juggling multiple projects, research, or workflows who wants quick reference notes without drowning in a giant list.
Shinnpad is lesson management software built for independent music teachers: the private instructors who teach at several schools a week, bill families themselves, and do their own books at tax time.
Scheduling that understands school days: set up each campus with its own bell schedule and rates, mark A/B (red/green) day rotations once, and import district calendars so holidays and testing days never collide with lessons.
Getting paid without the chasing: families keep a card on file and autopay the exact amount owed per lesson, paid straight into the teacher's own bank through Stripe. One-click reminders let everyone else pay from a link.
A parent portal where families see upcoming lessons, notes and balances, and pay from their phone.
Bookkeeping and tax in plain language: Shinnpad works out business mileage between campuses from the lesson schedule, tracks expenses and receipts, calculates the home-office deduction, sends quarterly-tax reminders, and produces a year-end Schedule C summary a CPA can use.
Built by a former band director who now teaches private lessons. Free for up to 10 students; paid plans start at $8.99/month, never per student.
