## What is PopNotes?

Notes shouldn't need a filing system. Pop a thought in, and PopNotes turns it into a card in a stack, works out what it is, and keeps it where you'll find it again.

POP IT FROM ANYWHERE
• Open to an empty box, ready to type
• Say "Pop a note in PopNotes" to Siri
• Add Pop a note to Control Center or the Action button, or a widget to your Lock Screen
• Share links, text and pictures from any app
• A long press on the icon goes straight to the box, Search or your Draft

IT SORTS ITSELF
• Spots links, to-dos, code and prompts, and draws each its own way
• Picks up due dates from plain words like "by Friday", with an optional reminder
• Finds a tracking number and offers to track it
• Tags with a #, and smart stacks that fill themselves

FIND ANYTHING
• Search every stack at once, by words, kind, tag or day
• Search reads the words inside your pictures too
• Open a picture full screen, pinch to zoom, and long press to select and copy its text

A VAULT FOR THE THINGS THAT MATTER
• Keys and passwords sealed with AES-256 encryption, unlocked with your passphrase, Face ID or Touch ID
• PopNotes suggests the Vault when a note looks like a secret
• Copied secrets clear themselves from the clipboard

MAKE IT YOURS
• 22 themes in light and dark, from legal pad to starship
• A theme per stack, if you like
• Paper colors, pins, and a Draft for what isn't ready yet

MADE FOR YOUR PHONE
• Swipe a card to archive or delete, pull down to sync
• Built for iPhone Duo: Pop on one half and your stream on the other, nothing on the fold
• A roomy two-pane layout on iPad

YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS
• No account, no subscription, no ads, no tracking
• Notes stay on your device. We have no servers, so we never see them
• Optional sync, stack by stack, through your own Google Drive or OneDrive, straight from your device
• Export to Markdown, text, HTML or PDF whenever you like

One price, once. If PopNotes replaces that notes app you never quite trusted, it has done its job.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.5.2 — 2026-11-04

PINNED NOTES ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
A new widget shows a stack's pinned notes in your theme's colors, paper and type. Tap a note to open it.

SETTINGS, TIDIED UP
Four groups, with a search field on top. Type "dark" or "password" and go straight to the setting.

EIGHT NEW THEMES
Index, Fieldwork, Bauhaus, Porcelain, Airmail, Neon, Vector and Grunge, in light and dark. That makes thirty, in Settings > Appearance > Get more themes.

POP!
Every theme now pops a new note its own way, and every theme got a polish pass. Reduce Motion keeps them still.

ALSO
• A new icon: a stack of notes, mid-pop
• A stack can sync to Google Drive, OneDrive, or both
• A seal now follows a note that moved between stacks, and changes made while a stack's sync was off go out when it's back on

### 1.4.4 — 2026-11-02

No release notes.
