Antinote is a macOS scratchpad app for quick, temporary notes and calculations. It supports contextual math, unit and currency conversions, reactive variables, checklists, timers, and can auto-delete notes since it is designed for temporary rather than permanent note-taking. Notes can be exported to apps like Apple Notes, Obsidian, or Bear for long-term storage.
