About

Short notes, many times a day, saved as plain .md files in real folders. Open the same folder on your Mac in VS Code, Vim, or any editor. Calm, minimal, and ready for iPhone Duo. smalltype is for your notes. The small ones, the quick ones, the big ones, the unpolished ones. It's a fast, quiet place to type. ## Start No tutorial, no setup screen. Tap New Note and start typing. Leave one empty and it quietly disappears, so you never end up with a pile of blank untitled notes. That's the whole app. ## Yours Every note is a real .md file, sitting right there in the Files app. You can open it, copy it, or back it up yourself, anytime. Delete one and it still goes to Recently Deleted, same as any other file: nothing's gone for good. ## Sync or Don't Keep notes in iCloud Drive to have them on every device. Or keep them On My iPhone, fully local, never leaving your device. Either way, you can switch anytime. ## Visible Markdown Markdown markers stay gently visible as you type. What you see is exactly what's in the file. A bar above the keyboard types the markers for you, with undo and redo a tap away. ## Organize Folders, search, and quick note-making, all from one screen. Nothing to set up first. Put "daily" in a folder's name and new notes inside it get today's date as their name. ## No Catch No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No account, ever. Markdown notes. Yours to keep.

## Two Columns Turn a Max, Plus, or Air sideways and the folder tree sits beside your note. Tap a note to open it next to the tree, or tap the arrows to give the note the whole screen. New Note lives in the note column and creates in the folder the tree is showing. Made for the iPhone Duo's inner display, where the two columns stay in both orientations. ## Moving Notes In landscape the Move sheet stays a sheet instead of taking over the screen, so the tree stays in view behind it. ## Typing Auto-capitalization and auto-correction now follow your keyboard settings, in notes and when renaming. Turn them off in Settings › General › Keyboard if you'd rather. Smart quotes and dashes stay off, so markdown stays markdown. ## Fixes A note you rename or move from the tree while it's open stays open.
