About Wisp
Wisp is a menu bar scratchpad: one keypress opens a small note window. Lines ending in = are evaluated, including unit conversions and percentages, such as 5 km in mi =. It also expands emoji shortcodes and turns lines that start with "Remind me" into notifications. It suits quick calculations and jotting down thoughts, not a full notes app.
It requires macOS 13 or later and ships as a universal build for Apple silicon and Intel. Wisp is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so the first launch needs approval under Privacy & Security (Open Anyway) or the xattr command from the README. The author says Wisp is free and always will be, and accepts optional donations.
