CAPTURE AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT Open app. Type. Done. Your genius can't wait for loading screens. • Start with a blank note instantly (or don't… your call) • Paste Card detects your clipboard and turns it into a note in one tap • Attach images, files, and links without the fuss • Document scanner built right in—no extra apps needed TODAY: YOUR DAILY FOCUS, CURATED Too many notes? Kurzgedacht surfaces up to 10 notes each day that actually need your attention. Not an algorithm trying to be clever, just common sense: • Reminders that are due (or fashionably overdue) • Notes you keep reopening like a fridge at midnight • Recently edited thoughts that need finishing • Tags you've marked as today's priority Each suggestion tells you why it's there. No mystery, no manipulation, just helpful nudges. SEARCH THAT FORGIVES YOUR TYPOS Type "metting" when you meant "meeting"? No problem. Kurzgedacht's fuzzy search handles your keyboard fumbles with grace. • Typo-tolerant from 4+ letters • Filter by #tags, dates, or attachments • Find that receipt photo with "has:image" • Search "overdue" to face your demons • Exact phrases with "quotes work too" PRIVACY THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING Your notes stay on your device. Period. • No cloud sync. No account required. No data leaving your phone. • Lock sensitive notes with Face ID or Touch ID • Stealth Mode hides all content with a three-tap gesture, perfect for nosy colleagues • AES-GCM encryption for locked notes ORGANIZE WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD • Pin important notes to the top • Color-coded tags for visual sanity • Sort by date, title, or chaos (your choice) • Find in note: search within your walls of text REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME Quick presets like "Later," "Tomorrow," or "Next Monday" mean you're not fumbling with date pickers. Snooze notifications when life happens, or use the "Urgent" option to get an alarm when "that thing" is due. ATTACHMENTS DONE RIGHT • Up to 10 images per note • Up to 10 files (50 MB each, 200 MB total) • Link cards, ordered, and tidy • Scan documents and extract text automatically BUILT BY A HUMAN, FOR HUMANS Kurzgedacht is designed and engineered by one person who takes notes seriously (but not too seriously). Built with care, love, and opinions. Small notes. Big relief. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.5 — 2026-03-05 Bug fixes and design polish ### 1.0.4 — 2026-03-04 Only bug fixes this time around… ### 1.0.3 — 2026-03-04 Import & Export Your notes can now leave the building—and come back. Export everything into a single .kurzgedacht file: notes, tags, images, files, links, locked notes, even your settings. Import it on another device, or just sleep better knowing you have a backup. Locked notes? Decrypted for export, then re-encrypted fresh on import. Your secrets stay secret. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-02-18 Widgets Kurzgedacht now lives on your Home Screen. Yes, it left the app. Seven widgets, to be precise: New Note: One tap. New note. No excuses. Search: For when you remember writing something but not where. Today: Your "Today" notes, staring at you before you even open the app. Pinned Notes: Your pinned notes, now impossible to ignore. Due Today: Reminders due today. Gentle pressure, right on your Home Screen. Overdue: The "I'll do it later" notes. Later is now. Specific Note: Pick one note, pin it to your Home Screen. Great for grocery lists. Terrible for love letters. All widgets come in various sizes because commitment is hard. Bug Fixes Urgent reminders no longer haunt you after deleting the note. Previously, the alarm kept going off like a guest who didn't get the memo that the party is over. Fixed. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-02-11 Urgent Reminders Normal reminders too easy to ignore? Yeah, I noticed that too. With the new “Urgent” toggle, your reminder turns into an alarm on the lock screen. Swipe it away and pretend you never saw it? Luckily this doesn't work anymore when toggled on… But now an overdue reminder is nudging you quite nicely in your note regardless. Bug Fixes Some bugs were so small that even I forgot what was going on… but here we go: - Sharing notes now works on the first try. - Sharing photos from the Photos app are no longer silently ignored by the share extension when sharing with Kurzgedacht. - Pasting a link from other apps now shows the URL in your note only as a link card. That should be enough, I think. - Sharing multiple high-resolution photos to Kurzgedacht no longer crashes. It now accepts one image and politely points you to the Paste Card or manual paste for the rest. I'm not an expert, but it should work. - The share extension went on a memory diet and is now much harder to take down. ## More apps by Christoph Fahlbusch - [Minimal Stopwatch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/minimal-stopwatch/id1086343120) - [Tempra Ora](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tempra-ora/id6754884490) - [(Alles) Paletti](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alles-paletti/id6757340998) All apps by Christoph Fahlbusch: https://appshunter.io/developer/1086343119 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
