Growly Notes
Growly Notes is a Mac note-taking app for collecting text, images, PDFs, links, and other material in free-form notebooks.
What is Growly Notes?
Growly Notes is a native Mac note-taking app that helps users collect and organize information in free-form notebooks. It is designed for class notes, research, journals, to-do lists, trip planning, and other projects where you want to mix different kinds of content on the same page. Pages can hold formatted text, images, movies, audio clips, PDF files, tables, lists, links, web pages, and drawings, giving users a flexible workspace rather than a strict outline. Notebooks are arranged into sections and pages, and the app includes search tools and tagging to make notes easier to find later. It also supports password protection for notebooks or sections, floating note windows for quick capture while working in other apps, and notebook syncing for shared or multi-Mac use. Growly Notes is published by GrowlyBird Software LLC for macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Growly Notes is a legitimate Mac note-taking application. Access to your files, saved notebooks, and shared storage locations is normal for an app that stores notes and syncs notebooks between Macs. If you use its password protection or shared notebooks, keep backups of important data and choose trusted storage locations for anything sensitive.
Recommendation: Keep Growly Notes if you use it for notebooks, research, or personal organization. If you no longer use it, you can remove it, but export or back up any notebooks you want to keep first because uninstalling the app may leave your notes inaccessible through Growly Notes.
