Flip your screen. Capture everything.
Backside lives quietly in your menu bar. Hit one hotkey and your screen flips over onto an infinite canvas for notes, mind maps and quick capture. Flip back and everything is where you left it.
A second surface, one hotkey away.
Point, and just type
Move your mouse anywhere on the canvas and start typing. A note appears right at your cursor, no click needed.
Every block you need
Text, checklists, sticky notes, code, tables, images, voice and video notes. Right-click anywhere to add one.
Brainstorm visually
Rectangles, diamonds, speech and thought bubbles, arrows. Sketch connections, not just text.
Truly infinite
Pan in any direction with no edge. A live mini map shows every block you’ve placed, and a click jumps you there.
Instant search
⌘F finds any note on the canvas, however far you’ve panned.
Keyboard first
Nudge blocks with arrow keys, duplicate with ⌘⇧D, undo with ⌘Z. Press ? for the cheatsheet.
Always there, never in the way
No Dock icon and no windows. It starts at login, waits until you need it and updates itself.
Every Mac has a hundred spare pixels of thinking space hiding behind the desktop. Backside just gives you a way in.
Why we built Backside
Your desktop, with a second side.
