Local-first notes for iPhone and iPad

Your thoughts, close at hand.

Write quickly, find what matters, and keep sensitive notes behind the same lock you already use on your device.

Quiet by design

A note app that leaves room for the note.

A clear inbox, favorites for important ideas, Hidden Notes for private content, and useful tools that stay out of the way until you need them.

01

Private by design

Notes stay on your device. Hidden Notes can use Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

02

Find it simply

Search the words you remember and return to the note without interrupting your writing flow.

03

Useful writing tools

Add checklists, bullets, date stamps, and copy a full note from a focused editor.

04

Back up on your terms

Create a local backup or move notes with CSV and TXT files when you choose.
