Installation
Download the latest release from the releases page:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon) | minNotes-<version>-macOS.dmg |
| Windows 10/11 (x64) | minNotes-<version>-x64.exe |
macOS
Open the .dmg and drag minNotes to Applications. The app is signed and notarized — it launches without warnings, online or off.
Windows
Run the installer and follow the prompts.
Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt on first run — the installer is not Authenticode-signed. Choose More info → Run anyway.
Updates
minNotes checks for updates automatically (Sparkle on macOS, WinSparkle on Windows) and offers new versions in-app. You can also check manually from the app menu.
File Types
The installer registers two file types and a URL scheme:
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
.mndb | A note — a plain SQLite file you can store anywhere |
.mnpkg | A sealed package with all assets inside |
minnotes:// | Deep links that open a note from other apps |
Double-clicking either file opens it in minNotes.
