Fast local notes
A small Mac notes app that keeps your records quick to open, quick to edit, and available when you are offline. Bolt Desktop is built to feel lightweight instead of becoming another full document system.
Notes, screenshots, and sync

Bolt is a small toolset for capturing what you need quickly: notes on Mac and mobile, plus a dedicated shelf for screenshots and pasted images. It stays lightweight, works locally, and helps keep useful bits easy to find and reuse.
Choose the Bolt app that matches how you work: desktop notes, mobile notes, or a dedicated screenshot shelf.

Why Bolt
Small, focused tools that stay out of the way until you need them.
Bolt Desktop helps you capture ideas without fighting the app. Notes stay fast and available offline, then sync when you are signed in so your library can follow you across the Bolt ecosystem. A clear sync indicator shows whether changes are saved, syncing, or waiting for a connection.
Bolt Mobile brings the same lightweight note model to your phone. Create, search, favorite, copy, and organize short records on the go, with offline-friendly sync so quick edits are not lost when connectivity is spotty.
Bolt Images is for anyone who lives in screenshots and pasted graphics. Paste from the clipboard, browse recent captures in a quick-access grid, rename what matters, copy images back out, or drag them into Finder, a browser, or another app.
