Snip Notes does that and more, syncing via icloud to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, thereby making your notes available everywhere, even offline.

Snip Notes lacks the comprehensive annotation and drawing tools introduced with Notes in mac OS Sierra, but – more conveniently – saves images and text snippets. New items are saved to an inbox, where content can be organized into multiple categories with one of 42 custom icons.

The Mac app is also great for quickly saving current Clipboard contents, thanks to a Notification Center widget that displays up to 12 recent notes for fast access while the app is closed. If you don’t like the default orange, nine other color themes are available.

Although initially designed for mobile devices, Snip Notes for Mac faithfully adapts to the desktop, with assignable global hotkeys for calling up the menu bar and saving clipboard or currently selected content, which can also be done from anywhere using its Share sheet extension.
