Hi everyone,
I'm sharing a macOS Shortcut that takes your central ✱ Home note and turns it into a floating, always-on-top window—perfect for keeping your main dashboard visible, just like a desktop widget.
It's especially powerful for those with an extended display, as it will automatically place your Home note on your second monitor as a persistent sidebar.

How to Use It
To get this working, you just need to tell the Shortcut the name of your home note.
When you add this shortcut, choose to Edit it, and open the "Run AppleScript" action.
At the very top of the script, find this line:
AppleScript
$$
property targetNoteTitle : "✱ Home"
$$
If your home note has a different name, change "✱ Home" to the exact title of your note.
Easy Ways to Run It 🚀
To make this feel like a real app or widget, here are two easy ways to trigger it:
1. Add it to your Dock:
Open the Shortcuts app, find your new shortcut in the list, right-click and select Add to Dock. Now you can launch your floating note with a single click.
2. Create a Desktop Widget:
Right-click on your desktop and choose "Edit Widgets." Find the Shortcuts widget, drag it onto your desktop, and then right-click the new widget to choose this specific shortcut from the list.
