What's New in Transparent Notes

2.3.1

September 27, 2026

Ready for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27: Transparent Notes has been tested on the new systems and updated for them. • Faster checklists: Return adds the next item, and empty items clean themselves up. • Tidier mind maps: new nodes land in a free spot instead of on top of each other. • Menus on iPad: File, Edit, View and Help carry the app's commands and keyboard shortcuts. I read every message. If you have an idea or run into trouble, write to me at support@transparentnote.com.

Useless

The app advertises itself as being a transparent overlay for notes, but on mobile it literally just becomes a widget and doesn’t do what it says it does

Incorrect Billing

I canceled my monthly plan 5 days before it was due to renew, and now the app is forcing me to pay for a new renewal for NO REASON. My SUBSCRIPTION IS CANCELED!

I love this.

I use this for whenever I am presenting online and don’t want to look like I’m reading off of something.
