Mirage is a quick note scratchpad that appears over any app with one hotkey — and erases itself when you close it. Like a mirage, nothing was ever there. PERFECT FOR • Phone numbers, codes, and addresses you need for the next five minutes • Rewording a sentence before you paste it • Notes during screen sharing or recording — nothing is saved, nothing leaks • Clearing your head without cluttering your real notes app HOW IT WORKS • Press ⌃⌥Space anywhere — the memo appears on the screen your mouse is on • Type freely — the window grows with your content • Press the shortcut again (or ESC / ⌘W) — the memo closes and the content is erased • Focus returns to the app you were using, even over full-screen apps SAFETY NET • Closed by accident? Reopen and press ⌘Z to restore the last memo • Optional: copy the memo to the clipboard as it closes (off by default) TRULY PRIVATE • Notes are never written to disk, synced, or transmitted • No account, no network access, no analytics, no permission prompts • There is nothing to delete, because nothing is ever stored LIGHT AND FAST • 1.2 MB, zero background load — the window is created once and reused, so it appears instantly • Works over full-screen apps, across Spaces and monitors • Customizable shortcut, font size, launch at login, menu bar icon • Comfortable monospaced typing with Fira Code, plus Pretendard for Korean Requires macOS 13 or later.
