About SlashNote

SlashNote is a macOS menu bar app for capturing ideas in a single second. It's built by Reamlab — a one-person studio focused on tools that respect your time and your data. Notes stay on your Mac. Voice runs locally. AI features are opt-in and use your own keys when you want them to. Free to download on the Mac App Store; Pro and Lifetime plans unlock voice, MCP, and more AI requests.

Why SlashNote exists

Most note apps demand context switching: open the app, wait for it to load, pick a notebook, type. By the time the app is ready, the thought is gone. SlashNote lives in the menu bar. Drag from the icon, hit a hotkey, or speak — note appears instantly, stays pinned on top, syncs nowhere unless you ask it to.

The MCP server is the second half of the story: it lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other AI agents read and write your notes through a single one-line install. Notes you take in flow show up in your assistant's context automatically.

Who I am

I'm Ilya Razuvaev, the founder and sole developer of SlashNote. I built SlashNote because I needed it myself — every existing notes app got in the way of the thought I was trying to capture. SlashNote is the one I actually use every day.

Principles

• Privacy first. Notes stored locally. Voice runs 100% on-device via Whisper on the Apple Neural Engine. AI is opt-in and can use your own keys.
• No subscription lock-in. Free works forever. Pro is monthly or yearly. Lifetime is one-time — same price as a year of Pro, but yours forever.
• Built on the open MCP standard. Your notes integrate with any MCP-compatible AI client, not just one vendor.
• macOS native. AppKit, menu bar, Apple Silicon. No Electron, no slow startup, no sync surprises.
