Loam
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loam is a Markdown notes app that formats as you type. Type ## and the line becomes a heading. Bold, links, tasks, tables and code render in place, and the file underneath stays plain Markdown. WRITE Headings hang in the margin so every line keeps the same left edge, and Markdown marks fade when your cursor moves away. Prefer to see every character? Turn that off in Settings. Pick from six editor themes, in light and dark, and three type sets. They are all free. FIND Tag a note with #tag, or nest tags like #projects/garden. Link one note to another with [[double brackets]]. Search every note from the library. Tap a link, a #tag or a [[wiki link]] to jump to it. Pin notes, archive the ones you are done with and send the rest to Trash, where you can restore them. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Add a Home Screen widget for your recent note, quick capture or an interactive checklist. Start a new note from a control. Send text, links and web pages to Loam from the Share sheet. Ask Siri or use Shortcuts to create a note or add text to one. Find notes from Spotlight. On iPad, the library and the note sit side by side. Export every note as Markdown files from Settings. SHARE (PRO) Invite people to a note by email and choose whether each person can edit, comment or only read. Publish a note as a clean web page and take it down whenever you like. Mentions and replies arrive as notifications you can answer from the Lock Screen. AI APPS (PRO) Connect AI apps that support MCP, the Model Context Protocol, from Settings > AI apps. You decide whether each app can read your notes, change them or manage sharing, and you can see and remove every connected app. FREE AND PRO Free: the full editor, all themes and type sets, tags, links and search on one device, with no time limit. Notes that other people share with you open and sync on Free too. Pro: sync across your devices, sharing, publishing to the web and AI app access. Loam Pro costs US$2.99 a month or US$29.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers. Prices vary by country and appear in your local currency at checkout.
