Entry Points

NoteDrop provides three ways to create notes. All work identically.

Keyboard Shortcut

Press ⌃⌥⌘N (Control + Option + Command + N) from anywhere.

This is the fastest method when you're already working. Requires accessibility permission.

Tip: Map Caps Lock to Hyper Key with apps like Hyperkey, Raycast, or BetterTouchTool for even faster access.

Right-click any folder in Finder, then select Quick Actions → New File Note.

This works automatically without any setup.

For direct context menu access (without the Quick Actions submenu), enable the Finder extension.

The extension also provides a New File submenu for quickly creating blank files directly in Finder:

See Enabling Finder Extension for setup instructions.
