## What is KotoNote?

KotoNote is a notes app for text, handwriting, tables, and files, all in one place. No account is needed, and there are no ads.

MANY KINDS OF NOTES, ONE APP
• Text notes: headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlights, text colors, lists, indents, and alignment. Place images right inside your writing.
• Handwriting notes: draw with Apple Pencil or your finger.
• Bullet-list, table, and attachment notes.
• Canvas: place text boxes, images, and tables anywhere on a large surface, then draw over them. Pan with two fingers and pinch to zoom.

EASY TO FIND
• Search ignores differences in full-width and half-width characters, capitalization, and kana type.
• Better matches appear first, and the matching words are highlighted in the list.
• Filter with “#work” for a tag, “folder:Travel” for a folder, or words like “lastweek” for the date a note was updated.
• Add your own synonyms, so a search for “meeting” can also find “conference”.
• “Similar Notes” finds notes that share many words with the one you’re reading.
• Filter by note type, lock, or pin.
• Search uses no AI, and your notes never leave your device.

EASY TO ORGANIZE
• Nested folders, tags, and pinned notes.
• A calendar that shows your notes day by day.
• Save any note as a template and reuse it.

PRIVATE AND SAFE
• Lock individual notes with a passcode and Face ID. The contents of locked notes never appear in search or exports.
• Backups are bundled into a single file encrypted with a password, and you can restore from the history at any time.
• Export your notes as CSV or Excel (.xlsx).

WORKS WITH iOS
• Save text and links from Safari and other apps through the share sheet, choosing a folder and adding a comment.
• Widgets let you start a new note instantly or open a recent one.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Change the background image, background color, text colors, and the opacity of the white areas.
• On iPad, use three columns — folders, note list, and note — to make the most of the big screen.

PLEASE NOTE
• Notes are stored on this device only. They aren’t synced with your other devices. We recommend exporting a backup now and then.
• Exported CSV and Excel files are not encrypted. Handle them with care.
