Read full description

GlanceMemo is the simplest way to keep quick notes visible — right on your lock screen. Most note apps require you to open them. GlanceMemo doesn't. Every time you wake your phone, your important reminders and pinned notes are already there. ■ Key Features • Pin up to 3 memos on your lock screen widget • Reminders widget — scheduled notes automatically float to the top when due • The first line becomes the widget title (write naturally, no formatting fuss) • Gentle reminders that surface exactly when you need them • Beautiful in both light and dark mode • Available in English, Korean, and Japanese ■ Perfect For • "Meeting notes for tomorrow" — instantly visible on your morning phone check • "Grocery list" — no need to open an app at the store • "Take medication, drink water" — daily nudges that just work • Quick thoughts, meeting agendas, things you don't want to forget ■ Why GlanceMemo? Other note apps disappear once you close them. GlanceMemo stays visible where you look most — your lock screen. Every phone check becomes a chance to remember what matters. Focused on the essentials: 3 pinned slots, 3 reminder slots — enough for what's important, no more. ■ How to Use 1. Open the app and write your first memo 2. Tap the pin icon in the memo list to pin it to the widget 3. Long-press your lock screen → Customize → Add Widget → GlanceMemo 4. Now see it every time you wake your phone ■ Requirements • iOS 16.0 or later (Lock screen widgets are an iOS 16+ feature) Write simply. Always visible. Never open the app again.
