Type is a macOS app that lets users quickly capture notes with an automatic timestamp from anywhere on their Mac via a global hotkey. Notes are stored as plain text (or Markdown) files directly on the device, allowing offline access and integration with tools like Obsidian. It supports features like custom date formats, note navigation via arrow keys, and an always-on-top window.
