Quill overview

Quill is a free and lightweight menu bar app for taking all types of notes. It’s closely inspired by Plume (the name Quill is a play on the name Plume), which is an excellent program, but hasn’t been updated for some time (for example, it’s also not Apple Silicon native).

Quill features
  • Create notes in any of four styles and sizes
  • Create notes in several different window sizes
  • Create notes in any of four different color schemes
  • Export your notes as an RTF file
  • Print your notes
  • And, more…

What’s new in version 1.09

  • Now uses a database for notes storage for greater reliability and resiliency; existing notes will automatically be migrated upon running the new version
  • Fixed bug where when changing window size or setting the keyboard shortcut did not save notes in some cases
  • Fixed bug with the window being on top setting not always being honored
  • The program will optimize the database whenever all notes are erased and roughly every 30 days; databases can also be exported for backups

Great little free menubar app for quickly jotting down a note. Although I hope this app stays simple and lightweight (I hate bloat in apps) one feature I'd like to see is a keyboard shortcut to open/close the window. Still, it's earned its place in my menubar as it is.
