@zsbenke interesting. As it uses plain text, I could presumably use this for my day notes in obsidian…

@ChrisJWilson I integrated it into my workflow using this automation: Setting up Type as a quick capture interface for my TaskPaper journal – Decoding

Just use Stickies.
The cool bit is that it can just 'float' above all apps and can be semi-transparent too. It will remain in place even when switching apps or Desktops/Spaces.

Paste in images or whatever.
Stickies is absolutely ancient and has seen little love from Apple for decades… but it’s still so useful, even just as a universal clipboard.

If you want a timestamp you can make a simple Shortcut to set the clipboard to date/time and have it available in the MenuBar.

Screen-grab of a semi-transparent Stickies note floating above all apps and containing the text of this post, plus a Shortcuts app window showing how to make a TimeStamp shortcut, which will be available via the Shortcuts Menu in the Mac's Menubar.

@gsymon I love and use Stickies, but for a completely different thing: it's my temporary text holder app.

Also, I don't have Stickies on iOS. I can append to my text files using Drafts as well.
