01 Tallenna · Capture

Your memory, on tap.

Muisti is a Mac note-taking app with a clipboard shelf built to refuse your secrets. Capture a thought in one keystroke, from any app. Keep what you copy, and only what you want kept. Synced across your Macs with iCloud. Yours for $19.99, once.

This is the real interaction. On your Mac the capture panel floats over whatever you are doing, summoned by ⌥ space, visible in under 150 milliseconds. The shelf below it opens with ⇧⌘V and holds what you chose to keep. Both are shown dark in both inks: this is how they appear over your desktop.

02 Muokkaa · Stage

A copied snippet is just a note you didn't type.

Notes and clips share one surface. Paste something in, reshape it, copy it back out. The editor speaks Markdown as you type: the line under your caret shows raw syntax, every other line shows the result. Checkboxes draw as real checkboxes you can click, and code fences become cards with syntax highlighting. For raw work, flip any note into plain text mode: a monospaced staging area, no rendering at all.

03 Säilytä · Keep

Secrets are refused. By design, not by setting.

Clipboard managers hold whatever you copy. That is exactly why people distrust them. Muisti's capture filter runs before anything is stored: it honors every concealed and transient marker, pauses whenever macOS reports a password field, and excludes password managers wholesale. When it cannot be sure a clip is safe, it skips the clip. Try it with the demo in Fig. 3.

By default Muisti keeps even less. It remembers a copy only when you show intent: copy the same thing twice, or open the shelf. Whatever you keep expires after 24 hours unless you pin it, a panic clear wipes the shelf in one keystroke, and clip history stays on this Mac unless you deliberately turn sync on for it.

04 Synkronoi · Sync

Written on one Mac. Waiting on the other.

Notes sync through your own iCloud account's private database. No Muisti account, no third-party cloud, nothing new to sign up for. Clips stay on this Mac unless you choose otherwise. And honestly: iCloud on the Mac syncs in the background at Apple's pace, so a just-woken machine can take a moment to catch up. Muisti shows you sync status instead of pretending.

Kysymykset · Questions

Honest answers.

When can I buy Muisti?

Soon. The app is finished and in release preparation: notarization, App Store review, the final checks. Email support@muisti.io and you will get one message when it ships, nothing else.

How exactly does Muisti refuse secrets?

Well-behaved apps mark sensitive copies as concealed, transient, or auto-generated on the system clipboard; Muisti honors all three, always, with no setting to weaken. While macOS reports secure input (a password field is focused), capture is skipped entirely. Password managers and any app you choose are excluded wholesale. The rule underneath: when Muisti cannot be sure, it skips the clip.

What is different in the Mac App Store version?

The App Store build is sandboxed and copy-only: choosing a clip puts it on your clipboard and you press ⌘V yourself, because store rules do not let apps paste on your behalf. The direct download pastes directly. Same notes, same shelf, same privacy filter in both.

What happens when the trial ends?

Muisti becomes read-only. Nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage: your notes remain on your Mac and in your iCloud, still readable and copyable. A license key makes it writable again.

Do I need an account?

No. Sync uses the private iCloud database of the Apple account already signed in on your Mac. The license key arrives by email. Muisti runs no server of its own and never sees your notes.

Does "one-time" really mean one time?

Yes. $19.99 buys Muisti 1.x outright, updates included. If a paid major version ever ships years from now, upgrading is optional and the version you bought keeps working.

What does Muisti collect about me?

Anonymous event counts through TelemetryDeck (things like "a note was created", never what it says), used to see which features matter. There is an opt-out in Settings. Note and clip content never leaves your devices except through your own iCloud.
