## What is Barely Notes?

Barely is a minimalist note app. One note at a time. No folders. No tags.
No noise.

Write what matters right now. Archive when done. Start fresh.

Time-aware
The app shifts with you. Warm mornings. Clean middays. Deep evenings. The
tone changes automatically, or set it manually.

Weekly surface
Your archived notes surface back to you for seven days. Review, restore, or
let them fade away. After a week, they're gone.

Camera
Capture a photo or record a video directly into your note. Share it however
you want.

Widgets
See your active note at a glance. Small, medium, and large home screen
widgets. Lock screen widgets. Live Activity on your lock screen and Dynamic
Island.

Bokashi themes
Five curated color gradients inspired by the traditional color vocabulary
of Japan. Sakura, Matcha, Sumi, Kumo, and Akatsuki. Each theme changes
your app icon to match.

One-time purchase. No subscription.

Barely enough. Exactly right.
