I use the Notes app on mac all the time. Being able to fullscreen and having auto save to the cloud is all that I want when writing. However, it doesn’t look very good.

I have done a minimalist customisation.

To use this simply copy the repo into

/Applications/Notes.app/

Custom Default Fonts

You can change the font of text at anytime but this will reset to the default when you create a new note.

In my changes I have included some of my favourite fonts. If you would like to add your own add them to the

DefaultFonts.plist

in

Contents/Resources/*.lproj

folders.

The plist needs to look like this:

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “//www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0”>
<array>
<dict>
<key>FontName</key>
<string>Adelle</string>
<key>Size</key>
<integer>14</integer>
</dict>
...
</dict>
</array>
</plist>

After resetting you can then select your default font of choice:

Note

That international users will need to use the relevant config lproj folder. E.g. British users will change the uk.lproj folder
