Sticky notes that float over every app.

Not yet. Hoverpad is made for Windows 10 and 11.

On your PC, saved as you type. Whenever you’re online, a copy also goes to a private Hoverpad folder in your own Google Drive. It can’t see your other files, and we never receive your notes.

So your notes are backed up, and your trial and purchase follow you to any PC: sign in there and the same notes are waiting. Hoverpad only gets your email address and its own private folder in your Drive.

No. Notes save as you type and stay inside Hoverpad: there are no files to name. Folders are there if you like them (new notes go in General), and search finds any note again.

No. Speech is turned into text on your PC by an open-source engine (whisper.cpp). The first time you use it, Hoverpad downloads its English voice model once (57 MB); after that it works offline. Recordings are deleted as soon as they’re read.

Yes. Set a password and move notes or whole folders into Private. They’re encrypted on your PC, hidden from everywhere else, and lock by themselves when you’re away or the PC locks.

Yes. Paste it into a note and its bold text, lists and links stay as they were. Notes can hold long text, and you can also drag text from any app onto the pad to make it a note.

No. In the background it uses about 0.3% of one CPU core and around 250 MB of memory. Notes for apps you aren’t using are put away after 5 minutes to free memory.

Click Buy in Hoverpad and pay once in your browser. It unlocks for good by itself, with no license key to copy. If you don’t buy it, nothing is deleted: your notes stay on screen and readable, and reminders you already set still go off.

No subscription. Pay the whole price at once, or in installments: a first payment now, then a smaller one every couple of months, all within a year (Hoverpad shows the amounts when you choose Buy). Each payment unlocks Hoverpad for a while; if the next one is late, it turns read-only until it’s paid. Once it’s all paid, Hoverpad is yours for good, with updates, on every PC you sign in on. Pay by UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking, on Razorpay’s secure page; nothing is ever taken automatically. Have a coupon? Type it on Hoverpad’s plan page before you pay. Changed your mind? Ask within 7 days of your first payment for a full refund (how refunds work).

Hoverpad wakes it a minute early, rings the reminder on time, and lets it go back to sleep if nobody comes. By default it does this only when the PC is plugged in, so a laptop in a bag stays asleep. Windows needs its “Allow wake timers” setting on, and Hoverpad shows you how to turn it on. A PC that’s shut down can’t be woken, so anything you missed goes off as soon as you’re back.

Yes, over normal windows, maximized windows and full-screen browsers. Some full-screen games draw over everything, and Windows lets them.

Press Alt + Shift + H to hide the pad and every note at once. Press it again to bring them back.

Yes: six designs (sticky note, bubble, app tile, notebook, glass, orbit), eight colors, three sizes, and a dozen symbols, or your own letter or emoji. Pick them in Settings or by right-clicking the pad. A reminder going off still shows the bell, so you never miss one.

Yes. Notes follow their apps on any monitor, and you can snip on each screen.

Yes, quietly: just the pad and the notes you left on screen. Reminders that came due while the PC was off show up right away. You can turn this off in Settings.
