Stash is a notes app designed for how you actually think. Stash doesn't make you create a new document anytime you want to capture your fleeting thoughts. Instead, you can add a note faster than you can send a text. Stash doesn't store each note in disconnected silos. Instead, you can see all your thoughts in one connective thread. Stash doesn't support markdown. Instead, you can double-tap to highlight, swipe to cross off, and long press to lock with Face ID. Yeah, Stash doesn't do a lot, but it does exactly what you need it to, better than any other app out there. Terms: https://stashtosave.com/terms Privacy: https://stashtosave.com/privacy
