## What is SAKUMEMO!?

You're halfway down the aisle and can't remember the last thing on the list.
You think of something at midnight, and by morning it's gone.

SAKUMEMO! is for those moments — when you need to write it down right now.


■ Open it, write it

Tap the + button and type. And for the times that isn't enough:

- Pull down from the top → new note at the top
- Pull up from the bottom → new note at the bottom
- Spread two fingers apart → new note right there, between the rows

Write where you want it, not just where the app puts it.


■ Swipe when it's done

Swipe a note to the right to check it off. The text dims, so finished items stay visible but out of the way.
When they pile up, tap Organize and choose "Move checked to bottom" — done items collect at the bottom, the rest stays on top. You can clear them all at once too.


■ Home screen and lock screen widgets

Check your shopping list without opening the app.
- Home screen (small): up to 4 notes
- Home screen (medium): up to 8 notes
- Lock screen: remaining count or your most recent notes
Tap a widget and it opens that list directly. Each widget can show a different list.


■ Double-tap when one line isn't enough

Double-tap a note to open its detail view.
- Markdown support (headings, bullets, checkboxes, quotes, bold)
- Attach photos
- Saves automatically, even if you close mid-sentence

Recipe steps, a packing list, meeting notes — there's always more room behind a single line.


■ Give your lists an icon

Work, groceries, travel, study. Swipe a list to the left and pick from 26 icons.
One glance is enough to tell them apart.


■ Made a mistake? Shake it

Deleted the wrong note. Reordered something you wanted back.
Just shake your device. You'll be asked "Undo 'Delete'?" and the last action is reversed. Keep shaking to go further back.

Deleted notes also stay in the Trash. Nothing is removed automatically, so you can restore them whenever you like.


■ Also included

- Search within a list
- Move or copy notes between lists
- Plain-text export and import
- Choose which list opens on launch
- Two themes (light and dark)
- Long-press and drag to reorder


■ About your data

- Everything you write stays on your device
- No account required
- No ads
- Nothing is sent anywhere

Requires iOS 15.0 or later (widgets require iOS 17.0 or later)
