## What is SingleNote?

One note. No Distractions.

SingleNote is the note for everything you need right now, but not for ever: a shopping list, a Wi-Fi password, a booking reference, a few links. There's just one page, so there are no files, no folders and nothing to sort. When you're done, tap delete and you've got a fresh page.
 
Get text in, fast
  • Type it, or paste it
  • Scan it: point the camera at printed text and add it straight to your note
  • Ask Siri, or use Shortcuts, to add to your note without opening the app
  • Switch to bullets for lists. Each new line starts a new bullet

See it without opening the app
  • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, in your choice of font and colours, and as big as you like
  • Live Activities keep your note in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen
 • The Apple Watch app and complication put your note on your wrist — so you can scan a handwritten shopping list at home, then check it on your watch in the supermarket!

Made to fit how you work
  • Character and word counters, for posts and forms with a limit
  • Themes for Light and Dark Mode
  • Keep a separate note on each device, or sync one note across all of them with iCloud
  • Turn Copy into Cut, so copying empties the note
  • Set Paste to replace what's there instead of adding to it
  • History: go back to any of your last 10 versions

Free to download
Writing your note, bullets, counters and themes are free for ever. Try everything else free for 7 days, then unlock it all with a single purchase. No subscription.
