Quill overview

Quill is a free and lightweight menu bar app for taking all types of notes. It’s closely inspired by Plume (the name Quill is a play on the name Plume), which is an excellent program, but hasn’t been updated for some time (for example, it’s also not Apple Silicon native).

Quill features
  • Create notes in any of four styles and sizes
  • Create notes in several different window sizes
  • Create notes in any of four different color schemes
  • Export your notes as an RTF file
  • Print your notes
  • And, more…

What’s new in version 1.07

  • Optimized character / word counting and other aspects of the UI to improve overall performance
  • Added page counting to the real-time text statistics
  • Added the ability to toggle the real-time text statistics on and off to improve performance when working with lots of text
  • Added a built-in keyboard shortcut to insert Emojis at the current cursor location

Great little free menubar app for quickly jotting down a note. Although I hope this app stays simple and lightweight (I hate bloat in apps) one feature I'd like to see is a keyboard shortcut to open/close the window. Still, it's earned its place in my menubar as it is.
