On a Mac: the menu bar
Every command is also in the menu bar: File → New Note, View → Show or Hide Sidebar, Search Notes, Related Notes, Chat, and a Go menu with every page. Noughtpad → Check for Updates… looks for a new version.
Closing the window with ⌘W or the red button keeps Noughtpad running, so quick capture is instant. ⌘Q quits.
