1dea

Ideas never make an appointment. 1dea catches them in a second, files them without effort, and hands them back just when you had forgotten them. Made for people who write, teach, research or simply think: aphorisms, quotes, talk outlines, hypotheses, reading notes, projects. CAPTURE • From the app, from the Share button of any other app, or with Siri and Shortcuts ("Add an idea"). • Markdown formatting: headings, bold, italic, highlight, lists, quotes, code, links. • LaTeX equations, on their own line or in the middle of a sentence. • The place where the idea came to you, added automatically if you wish. FIND • Search by words, or by meaning: 1dea finds related ideas even when they share no word. • Coloured categories, tags and one-to-three-star ratings to filter in one tap. • Related ideas and links between notes to weave your thinking together. • A world map of your notes. REREAD • Home Screen widget: a random idea, from the categories you choose, refreshed anywhere from every 15 minutes to once a day. • "Random idea" in Siri and Shortcuts as well. • Project note: gather several ideas into one working draft. MEASURE • Statistics by month, year, category and rating. • Vocabulary tools: how many words you have written, how many are still ahead of you (Chao2 estimator), and how varied your vocabulary is (Shannon entropy). SHARE • Copy or share an idea as a quote, with your signature. • JSON export and import of your whole library. YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS • No account to create: sync goes through your own iCloud, across iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac. • Search by meaning and statistics are computed on the device. • Lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode. Free, no ads, no in-app purchases. In English and French.
