Notes and sync

Fast notes, right where you need them.

Bolt is a small toolset for capturing what you need quickly: notes on Mac and mobile. 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 or mobile notes.

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 Desktop · Mac notes

A lightweight notes app for Mac.

Bolt Desktop is built for quick capture: open the app, write the thing down, and get back to work. Notes stay local for speed and offline use, with sync available when you sign in.

01 / 04

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.

02 / 04

Sign in and sync

Sign in with Google to keep your Bolt notes backed up and available across the Bolt apps. Sync runs automatically, with a manual sync option when you want to force an update.

03 / 04

Offline-aware by design

Keep writing even when the connection drops. Bolt queues changes and shows sync status clearly, so you know whether your notes are saved, syncing, or waiting for a connection.

Who it is for

People who want a small, dedicated notes app instead of a full document suite. Useful for quick thoughts, reusable snippets, drafts, lists, and short records you want to access from Mac and mobile.

Insanely Fast: Create, edit, delete, and reuse short text records in a focused UI for Mac, with local storage and Google sign-in.

Bolt Mobile · iOS and Android

Your Bolt notes in your pocket.

Bolt Mobile is the companion app for iOS and Android. It keeps your short records available on your phone, so the notes you start on desktop can stay useful when you are away from your Mac.

Same Bolt library

Sign in with Google and keep your Bolt records connected across devices. Local persistence and background sync help your notes stay usable even when your connection is inconsistent.
Favorites, search, and gestures

Create and edit short records, favorite the ones you reuse, search across your library, swipe for quick actions, long press to copy, and use light or dark mode.
Offline-friendly sync

Automatic sync and offline support help protect quick edits on the go. Bolt Mobile is designed for the moments when you need to capture something now and organize it later.

Everywhere: Your Bolt notes in your pocket. Real-time syncing with insanely fast user experience.
