## What is YES NOTE?

YES NOTE —
A quiet sheet of paper, devoted to one thing: writing down your thoughts.
No judgment, no rush. Write slowly, write true.
———————
We already have too many apps waving the "productivity" flag.
YES NOTE goes the other way:
it lets you sit down, write one line, and then do nothing.
No schedules, no reminders, no complex formatting,
no "daily completion rate", no achievements to unlock.
It is just a sheet of paper.

If you've ever read a line you desperately wanted to keep,
if you simply want to set down a mood, a quote,
or a thought that appeared out of nowhere —
this was made for you.

CORE FEATURES
————
· Titles are optional — the list shows the first line of your note
· Tag every note your own way, and filter by tag from the bar up top
· Long-press a note to turn it into one of 14 beautifully designed cards: beige book page, dawn gradient, movie poster, starry night, lamp-lit reading, classical book… each typeset in the LXGW WenKai typeface
· Pin the notes that matter
· Long-press for copy, share card, and delete
· Quick tag filtering at the top of the list

WHY THE TYPEFACE MATTERS
——————
The whole app is set in the open-source LXGW WenKai typeface,
born for long-form reading.
When your thoughts are held by this type,
even an ordinary sentence carries the quiet of paper.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
—————
· No account required, no user system
· Never uploads any of your notes to any server
· No third-party analytics, ads or tracking SDKs
· Never touches contacts, location, microphone or other sensitive permissions
· Never tries to turn note-taking into a streak

All notes are stored locally on your device and synced only through your private iCloud. Deleting the app deletes all data.

WHO IT'S FOR
————
· People who want one simple place to write things down
· People who care about typography and visual quietness
· People who often send a passage to a friend and want it to look like a piece of work
· People tired of being hurried by their tools

COMPATIBILITY
————
iOS 18.0 or later · iPhone, iPad & Mac · English and Chinese
