## What is PinNote?

PinNote turns your daily notes into Live Activities, right there on your Lock Screen, without unlocking your phone.

Create a daily note in seconds. It appears instantly on your Lock Screen.
Note: iPhone clears Lock Screen notes after up to 12 hours. As long as you open PinNote at least every 12 hours, your notes refresh on their own and stay pinned for good. Nothing is ever lost.

FEATURES
— Inline editing directly in the list
— Gesture-based: swipe to edit or delete, drag to reorder, pull to create
— Custom colors, fonts, and text alignment
— Up to 5 notes on your Lock Screen at once
— Add a note directly from Control Center — one tap, anywhere

HOW IT WORKS
PinNote is for your daily notes, the quick things you want in sight all day.
Each note is a Live Activity. Add a note → it pins to your Lock Screen. Done with it → swipe it away and it will appear as "done".
Tick a note to switch it between to do and done. Only to dos show on your Lock Screen. Clear one from your Lock Screen and it's marked done automatically.
