## What is Nokosu?

Nokosu is an app for instantly "keeping" memos, to-dos, camera photos, album images, and more.
With its simple, effortless feel, you can jot down your thoughts just as they come.

■ Capture the moment
One button in the bottom-right corner.
Text, a photo you snap on the spot, or an image from your library — save it the instant it comes to mind.

■ Memos and to-dos
Text you want to keep goes in a memo; things to get done go in a to-do.
Both are just as quick to save the moment they come to mind — and you can switch between memo and to-do anytime.

■ Stack to organize
Just stack one memo onto another and a new folder is created automatically.
Things tidy themselves with a simple touch.

■ Drag & drop, freely
Move memos and folders anywhere with drag & drop.
Reorder them, move them in and out of folders — everything just as you like.

■ Look back on the calendar
You can browse your memos on a calendar, by the date they were created.

■ iCloud sync
Sync your memos in real time across devices signed in with the same Apple Account, including Nokosu for Mac.

■ Bookmarks
Bookmark important memos and call them up anytime from the Bookmarks list.

― Nokosu Pro ―
A monthly plan that bundles features for keeping things even more conveniently.

■ Nested folders
The free version lets you create folders at the top level only; with Pro, you can also create folders on deeper levels.

■ Locked Folder
Lock sensitive memos, images, and folders with Face ID. Nothing in the Locked Folder appears on Home, in search, or in any list, and you can move existing memos, images, and folders into it.

■ Full history in Memos & Images
On the Memos and Images pages, look back at memos and images older than one month.

■ All themes available
In addition to the default Light theme, dress up the app with Dark, Beige, Navy, and White.

■ Customize how folders look
Set a color and an icon for each folder. The free version comes with the basic colors, and Pro unlocks every color and every icon.

■ Quick input
The keyboard appears the moment you open the app, so you can start writing right away without tapping the input button.

■ Lock Screen widget
Create a note or add a photo with a single tap from the Nokosu widget on your Lock Screen.

■ Control Center widget
Create a note or add a photo with a single tap from the Nokosu widget in Control Center or on the Action button.

■ Save to Photos too
When you capture a photo memo in the app, you can also copy the photo to your Photo Library.

### 3/5 — 素敵だけど

### 5/5 — 잘 쓰고있는 한국인 유저입니다.

*2026-09-14*

이런 앱이 항상 필요하다 생각했는데, 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. 위시리스트를 정리할 때 아주 유용하게 쓰고있어요☺️
아쉬운 점은 앱을 연 후 2초정도 사진과 글에 로딩이 걸리는 점, 스크롤을 했는데 렉때문에 터치로 인식되어 사진이 열리는 점 입니다.
큰 불편은 아니어서 앞으로도 쭉 사용 할 예정입니다.
감사해요, 개발자님 파이팅!

必要なときにサッとメモして、後からどうにでも整理出来ます。整理してもすぐに探せます。シンプルで機能的だけどなんかお洒落。個人的にはURLを貼れるのが便利で、ブックマーク代わりに使っています。ずっと使いたいツールなので応援の意味も込めて課金してます。

**Developer response:** 素敵なレビューをありがとうございます！
メモを残すこと自体に集中できるようにするにはどうすれば良いのかを試行錯誤しながら作ったので、そこを評価していただき本当にうれしいです！😭
今後もよろしくお願いします！
