## What is BLACK NOTE Pad?

BLACK NOTE is the ultimate text editor meticulously designed for writing in completely dark environments.

Whether you are stargazing, in a dark theater, journaling in bed without waking your partner, or simply want to protect your eyes at night, BLACK NOTE ensures that taking notes will never blind you or ruin your night vision.

Key Features: • True Dark Interface: An absolute black background that utilizes OLED screens perfectly to minimize light emission. • Instant Blackout: Double-tap the top of the screen to instantly turn the screen pitch black. Tap once to bring it back and resume typing. • Red Mode (Night Vision Protect): Switch the text to red to preserve your dark adaptation and night vision—ideal for astronomy and stealthy use. • Customizable Brightness: Granular control over the text brightness independent of your device's global brightness setting. • Time-Stamped Notes: Pressing 'Enter' at the end of a line automatically inserts the current time, perfect for logbooks and observation records. • Quick Stealth: Tap the top or swipe down to instantly hide your keyboard. • Maximum Darkness Guide: Includes built-in tips and shortcuts for utilizing iOS "Reduce White Point" to make your entire device, including the keyboard, as dark as physically possible.

Don't let bright screens interrupt your focus in the dark. Experience the most comfortable night-time writing with BLACK NOTE.

BLACK NOTEをご利用いただきありがとうございます！ 今回のアップデートでは、暗闇での体験をさらに向上させるためのガイド追加と、朝起きたときの「リセット・機能復帰」への動線を大幅に改善しました。

・【新機能】設定画面の一番上に「明るさを元に戻す」ボタンを新設しました。暗闇での作業を終え、明るい環境に移った際に一瞬で元の画面の明るさに復帰できます。 ・【改善】設定画面のメニュー配置を見直し、「メモの共有・コピー」機能と「全消去（オールリセット）」ボタンを隣接させました。これにより、メモをコピーして逃がした後、ワンタップで消去して新しい夜の準備をする作業フローが劇的にスムーズになりました。 ・【追加】究極の暗闇体験をサポートする「オススメ最強設定（ホワイトポイント活用法）」を操作方法メニューに追記しました。 ・【追加】iPadでのApple Pencil（スクリブル手書き入力）をご利用いただく際の注意点・コツを追記しました。 ・【修正】一部の大画面デバイス環境において、設定画面のレイアウト崩れが発生する問題を最適化・修正しました。

・画面上部に表示される時計や操作案内のレイアウトを最適化し、ノッチやダイナミックアイランドに隠れず中央に綺麗に表示されるように改善しました。 ・自動挿入されるタイムスタンプや時計表示を「秒数（HH:mm:ss）」まで対応させました。 ・操作案内のテキストカラーが、文字の明るさ設定や新機能のRedモードの設定と自動で連動するようになり、暗闇での没入感がさらに向上しました。

ブラックノートを引き続きご活用ください！
