About

Nowte

Taking screenshots of your notes app and cropping them to post online is annoying. It's even worse when you write something long and have to line up multiple screenshots just right. Nowte is a simple notepad that fixes this. You type out what you want to say, and the app automatically breaks your text down into clean image pages that fit social media formats (like stories or swipeable carousels). You don't have to manually crop, format, or adjust anything. How it works: • Auto-splits long texts: If your note is too long for one image, the app cuts it into multiple pages for you automatically. • Plain text writing: It’s just a clean interface and your keyboard. No complex design menus. • Quick export: Save the images directly to your camera roll or share them straight from the app. • Private and offline: There are no accounts to make and no cloud servers. Everything stays on your phone. Just write your thoughts, save the images, and post.
