Cheatsheet
Cheatsheet is a Mac notes app that keeps small pieces of information easy to view, copy, and access from the menu bar, widgets, and Shortcuts.
What is Cheatsheet?
Cheatsheet is a native Mac notes app for storing quick-reference information you want to keep close at hand. It helps users save short notes such as access codes, directions, reminders, account details, or other small snippets that are useful to glance at without opening a full notebook app. On macOS, Cheatsheet integrates with the menu bar and supports widgets and Shortcuts, making it easy to surface saved notes from different parts of the system. The app is also part of a broader cross-device workflow with companion versions for iPhone and Apple Watch, which can help people keep the same lightweight notes available across Apple devices. Published by Overdesigned, LLC, it is best suited for people who want a simple utility for tiny, frequently needed notes rather than a full document or project workspace.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Cheatsheet is a legitimate note utility for macOS. Its normal use involves storing short text snippets that may include sensitive personal information if you choose to put that content in the app, so the main precaution is to avoid saving anything more private than you are comfortable keeping in a convenience notes tool. If you use widgets, menu bar access, or cross-device syncing, remember that your notes may be easier to surface quickly on your devices for convenience.
Recommendation: Keep Cheatsheet if you use it for quick notes, menu bar access, or Apple device workflows. If you no longer rely on it, removing the app is usually reasonable, but you may want to review and export any important notes first so you do not lose information you still need.
