Kinetic, a typeface designed by Noel Pretorius and María Ramos (NM type), is the only typeface used in this app. Kinetic Notes allows you to save text notes in your phone. You can create, delete, edit and order your notes.

The heart button gives you access to a set of icons. If you want to reorder your notes press the arrows button in the list view and drag them to the desired position. Move your finger to the left over a note and you will be able to highlight or delete it. Go to kinetictypeface.com if you want to buy the typeface.

Select two files or paste two texts and compare them. Select two directories and compare them to see which files have been added, removed or modified, and selectively reset modified files to match the original ones. If files have slightly different names, you can match them by alphabetical order or a custom name map, and selectively rename them afterwards so that the names are equal. Export patches from two compared text files, or apply saved patches to an existing file. Create edit scripts that are applied non-destructively to a text file and export the resulting text.
