User reviews

Fantastic app

I didn’t realize how much I needed this app until I started using it. Olly makes it ridiculously easy to jot something down the second it pops into your head, no friction, no overthinking. It’s super clean, super fast, and just feels simple to use.
I’ve tried a bunch of note apps, but this is the first one that actually keeps up with how my brain works. If you’re someone who’s always thinking of random ideas and don’t want to lose them, this is a no-brainer. Easy 5 stars.
