Floating notes on your Mac screen for calls and presentations

How to turn it on

Turn on the Invisible Notes card, or use the Studio list in the menu bar. The panel appears when you turn it on, and it goes away when you turn it off or Studio Mode ends. Close it with the X on the panel.

What you can change

• Opacity: 40% to 100%. The default is 85%.
• Text size: 11 to 28 pt. The default is 14.
• Clear notes: asks you to confirm, then empties the panel and deletes the saved notes.
• Panel size: 300 by 220 by default and no smaller than 220 by 140. Move it with the top strip and resize it with the bottom-right grip.

Hotkey

None. Invisible Notes is switched on and off from its card or the menu bar.

Permissions

None.

Where your notes go

Notes are plain text, saved to a single file on your Mac that only your user account can read, one second after you stop typing. They never go into the app log, a settings backup or the clipboard.

If the file cannot be saved, the card says Notes can't be saved right now, and your notes keep working in memory.

Good to know

• Check what your audience sees before a live share.
• There is one panel. It reopens where you left it, on the screen that held most of it, and returns to the main display if that screen is gone.
• Clicking the panel lets you type in it without making Phosphor the active app.
• Keystroke Display ignores typing in it.
• It is plain text only. Pro is a one-time purchase of $19.99.
