Noticky's answer

Noticky is the only sticky note app on macOS that stays visible above fullscreen apps. It's a native Swift/SwiftUI menu bar app (not Electron), launches instantly with ⌘⇧N, and uses the right macOS window level to overlay everything — coding sessions, video calls, presentations. macOS 15 Sequoia and later only, built specifically for the latest Apple APIs.

Tempreon's answer:

Tempreon is built for the person, not the app. Most memory products are developer APIs for adding memory to a single product; Tempreon is a memory layer you own that travels with you across every AI tool you use — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, anything MCP-capable.

• It learns, it doesn't just store. How you work, what you decide, how you like things done — refined over time, not filed away.
• One memory, every assistant. Captured once in one tool, available in all of them. No re-explaining yourself.
• Custody is structural, not marketing. Your data exports anytime, the formats are portable, and our export tooling (memhaul) is open source. We monetize the service, never the custody.

Noticky's answer

Apple Stickies disappears in fullscreen and hasn't been updated in years. SideNotes uses a sidebar drawer that hides itself. Tot is great for jot-and-toss but vanishes in fullscreen too. Noticky is the only one that stays on screen no matter what you're doing — even above a fullscreen Xcode, Premiere Pro, or Zoom call. $6.99 one-time on the Mac App Store, no subscription, every future update included.

Tempreon's answer:

Most alternatives in this space are memory infrastructure for developers building their own AI apps. If you're the person using several AI tools every day, that's not your problem — your problem is re-explaining yourself to each of them and losing everything when you switch.

• Tempreon solves that one: one memory, every assistant, no re-onboarding.
• The model landscape changes every few months — a memory layer that belongs to you is the thing that shouldn't.
• No lock-in by design: plain-text exports, open-source export tooling, portable formats.

The choice is really about who the memory is for. Ours is for you.

Noticky's answer

macOS power users who spend their day in fullscreen apps: developers, writers, designers, video editors, students taking lecture notes, and people in back-to-back video calls. Anyone who needs a piece of information — a checklist, a script, a snippet, a meeting agenda — to stay one glance away while they work in another app. Not for long-form note-taking. For keeping critical info visible.

Tempreon's answer:

Individuals who live in AI tools all day: operators, consultants, founders, sales professionals, and knowledge workers who use more than one assistant and are tired of being a stranger to each of them.

If you've ever pasted the same context into Claude and ChatGPT in the same week — you're the audience.

Noticky's answer

Built solo by Leonidas, a Belgian indie developer, because every sticky note app on macOS disappears the moment you go fullscreen. He needed his standup checklist to stay visible during fullscreen Xcode sessions, and Apple Stickies couldn't do it. macOS treats fullscreen as a separate Space — most third-party tools fail there. Noticky uses a specific window level to overlay everything, even fullscreen. Launched on Product Hunt in May 2026, then approved on the Mac App Store. Sold direct via Stripe in the EU and via the Mac App Store everywhere else.

Tempreon's answer:

Tempreon started with a simple observation: AI models keep changing, but the thing that makes them useful to you — your context, your preferences, your judgment — gets rebuilt from scratch inside every tool, and lost every time you move.

We built the layer that fixes that: person-owned memory served over the open Model Context Protocol, so it works across assistants instead of belonging to one. Along the way we open-sourced the pieces that are useful to everyone regardless of whether they use Tempreon — like memhaul, our MIT-licensed CLI for turning ChatGPT and Claude data exports into files you own.

The through-line is custody: the model is temporary, your memory shouldn't be.

Noticky's answer

Swift 6 and SwiftUI for the UI, AppKit for window-level management (the trick that makes fullscreen overlay work), Core Data with CloudKit for iCloud Sync across Macs, Foundation Models framework for on-device smart tagging, LocalAuthentication for Touch ID lock. Zero third-party dependencies, no Electron, no telemetry. Requires macOS 15 Sequoia minimum.

Tempreon's answer:

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) over streamable HTTP — the core of it. This is what makes Tempreon work in any compliant client rather than one walled garden.
• OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and PKCE for authorization.
• TypeScript and Postgres under the hood.

The protocol choice is the product decision: build on the open standard, and your memory works everywhere the standard does.

• Independent macOS developers working in fullscreen IDEs (Xcode, Cursor, VS Code)
• Solo founders and indie hackers tracking daily metrics
• Writers and researchers using fullscreen text editors (iA Writer, Ulysses, Scrivener)
• Students taking notes during fullscreen lectures and video courses
• Designers working in fullscreen Figma, Sketch, or Affinity
• Power users running macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 26 Tahoe
