FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which Macs does WincyStick support?

The current beta supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.

Will closing the note delete my tasks?

Your saved tasks stay on your Mac. Click the Dock icon or press Control + Option + Command + P to bring the note back.

Are the reviews generated by AI?

WincyStick builds basic reviews locally from your plans and completed tasks. You can add your own reflections too.

How do I move my data to another Mac?

Copy a backup from your old Mac to the new one, then use Backup & Restore in WincyStick.

Will syncing to Obsidian overwrite my notes?

Only the section managed by WincyStick is updated. Your notes outside it are kept. Conflicts, damaged archive markers, or edits inside the managed section stop that file from being overwritten and trigger a warning.

Does WincyStick collect my notes?

Your tasks and basic reviews are stored on your Mac. Daily notes and basic reviews do not need cloud processing.

Where does Quick Capture save my tasks?

Quick Capture saves to today's tasks in the same local notebook on your Mac.
