Getting Started with the SkyNotes Beta
On macOS
Install TestFlight. Apple's official beta app, free on the Mac App Store.
Request access. Select Get Early Access above, then confirm Open when prompted.
Accept the invitation. TestFlight presents SkyNotes with its latest build notes.
Install. Future builds from Valerie Otero arrive on their own.
Good to know
Limited seats. Public betas hold up to 10,000 testers. When one is full, Notify Me tells you when a seat frees up.
Nothing is charged. In-app purchases run in Apple's sandbox. Your account is never billed.
Builds run 90 days. Each update renews the term and keeps your data.
Leave anytime. Reinstall SkyNotes from the App Store to return to the public release.
About SkyNotes
SkyNotes is the ideal app for organizing your projects and flight checklists or To-Do lists. Initially designed for pilots, it offers a robust structure to manage any type of project requiring rigor and organization.
How do I join the SkyNotes TestFlight beta on macOS?
First, download Apple's official TestFlight app from the Mac App Store on your Mac. Then return to this page and select "Get Early Access" above. Your device will automatically open TestFlight and prompt you to accept the developer's beta invitation. Tap "Accept" and then "Install" to start testing SkyNotes. If it says "This beta is full", tap "Get Slot Alerts" to be told when a slot opens.
Is testing SkyNotes on TestFlight safe and free?
Joining is free, and TestFlight is Apple's official beta testing service. Apple reviews beta builds before they can be shared through a public link, and beta apps run in the same sandbox as App Store apps, so they can't access your data without your permission. Betas can still have bugs. The beta is made by Valerie Otero.
Do in-app purchases or subscriptions cost real money during TestFlight beta testing?
No. In TestFlight, Apple connects all transactions to its free Sandbox environment. Any in-app purchase, pro feature tier, or subscription inside SkyNotes will display "[Environment: Sandbox]" and costs $0.00. Your Apple Account or credit card will never be billed for purchases made within a TestFlight beta build.
Will the SkyNotes beta run on my Mac?
It depends on the build. TestFlight for Mac shows the minimum macOS version for each build before you install it. Some betas are native Mac apps, others are iPad apps that run on Apple silicon Macs, and TestFlight only offers builds your Mac can run.
What should I do if the SkyNotes TestFlight beta says "This beta is full"?
A TestFlight beta can have up to 10,000 external testers, and developers can set a lower limit. Spots open up again when testers leave the beta or when Valerie Otero removes inactive testers, which often happens around a new build. Select "Notify Me" on this page for an email the moment a seat opens (CodeWing Plus) or follow our free Telegram channel. You can also find similar betas in the Productivity category.
Will installing the beta replace my current App Store version of SkyNotes, and will I lose my data?
Installing the TestFlight beta will replace the App Store version on your Mac, but all your local app data, documents, logins, and configurations are safely preserved. If you ever want to switch back to the stable public release, you can simply redownload SkyNotes directly from the App Store at any time without losing your data.
How long does a TestFlight beta build last before it expires?
Each TestFlight build has a maximum lifespan of 90 days from the day the developer uploaded it to Apple. You can see the countdown days directly beneath SkyNotes's title in your TestFlight app. Developers regularly release new builds with improvements, which automatically resets the 90-day timer so your testing is uninterrupted.
How do I send feedback or report bugs for SkyNotes?
You can send feedback directly to Valerie Otero by taking a screenshot while using SkyNotes and tapping "Share Beta Feedback", or by opening TestFlight, tapping SkyNotes, and selecting "Send Beta Feedback". You can include notes, screenshots, and system logs to help the developer fix issues before the official App Store launch.
