I understand this is not an expensive program compared with other apps, but there is no upgrade price. You have to repurchase it. When apps move to the App Store this makes sense as Apple does not support upgrades, but it would have been a nice gesture to the original supporters.

Well, the idea is nice but it seems AppleScript doesn't work as intended. I have this script that returns the URL in the front most window of Brave Browser: tell application id "com.brave.Browser" return the URL of the active tab of the front window end tell The result is a proper URL (tested in script editor), but in Ghostnote it won't show up. What I also don't like is that there is no info about the developer, nor any contact info AND only support via discuss. Not very professional. Another thing that really annoys me is: whenever I have Safari open and switch an app, the debugger window comes up all the time with the title "Ghostnote2 - JSContext". 5 stars for the idea, half star for the implementation, gives 2.5 stars - which actually is better than the overall rating here ;-)

Unfortunately for me, Apple Mail is not currently included in software for which you can add a note. A recent alternative might be Hook (https://hookproductivity.com)?

DON'T BUY THIS APP!!!!!! 1. The Developer takes toooooooooooooooo much time to fix their app, and until 2018/11/12, they cannot release a version which suits High Sierra! Apple has already released "Mojave," and this app? FUNNY! --- The following information is from their official website (2018/11/12): We do not yet support High Sierra. Working on a major overhaul of Ghostnote. --- 2. Wow! This developer released Ghosnote 2.0 RECENTLY. Honestly, I cannot see any big change. 2.0? Funny! Should I pay it again? I bought a version 1.x, and they totally gave up their app on High Sierra. Should I trust them again? Waste My Money!!! Most important of all, if you guys want your notes (data) alive, KEEP AWAY THIS APP. Thanks!
