Floating notes in the launcher

Updated October 2026 · Latest v2.4.9 · GitHub Release · Changelog

Wox includes floating Notes so you can capture something without switching to a separate notes app.

What it is

Query note to search notes, or note new to create one. Each note opens in its own window. You can write rich text, checklists, tables, and attach images.

Query	Result
note	Search and reopen notes
note new	Create a note
note search invoice	Filter by title or text

Notes can be pinned, including across macOS Spaces. You can export Markdown, text, or HTML. Cloud Sync can sync note text; images stay on the device.

Capture from other plugins

Clipboard, File Search, Screenshot, Selection, Quick Jump, and Shell can save the current item to Notes from the Action Panel. You do not have to copy it by hand first.

How to use it

1. Open Wox and type note new.
2. Write in the note window. The launcher can hide; the note stays open.
3. Later, type note and pick the note to bring it back.

Deleted notes are retained for 60 days before automatic cleanup. There is currently no launcher command or Notes view for browsing or restoring deleted notes.
