About

NoApps.app

Features
Read full description

Let's get straight to the point. noapps is more than a dozen everyday apps in one, and everything you put into them stays on your phone. No account. No cloud. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. WHY We believe software should serve people, not own them. Most apps live on someone else's software, server and terms. One wrong step, and an account is reviewed, flagged, suspended, and the files inside it are withheld. Encryption protects your data from being read. It does not protect you from being switched off. noapps has nothing to switch off. The app is on your phone, and so is everything in it. Turn on airplane mode and open it: everything is still there. WHAT IS INSIDE Notes, for everything you write. Journal, for the days you want to keep. Letters, for writing to the people you trust. You meet once and scan each other's code. After that every letter is sealed on your phone and opens only on theirs. It travels as a file, by Mail, Messages or AirDrop, never through a server of ours. Period, for your cycle, your symptoms and how you feel, worked out from your own history. Books and Articles, for what you want to read, with no connection at all. Vault, Files and Images, for what should not lie around in the open. Music Player, for the music, podcasts and audiobooks you bring in yourself. Nothing is streamed. Guarded Layers, a separate space behind a key only you know. Workout, Run and Cycle, for your training, your routes and your rides. Budget, Calculator and Converter, for numbers. Scanner, for paper you want as a file, and Contacts, for the people who matter. Pomodoro and Time, for focus, timers, intervals and a stopwatch. Sun and Compass, for sunrise, sunset, prayer times and the direction to Mecca. FREE, OR PAID ONCE Free: Notes, Journal, Letters, Period, Contacts, Calculator, Converter, Time, Pomodoro, Sun and Compass. Everything else opens with Lifetime. Paid once, no subscription. It belongs to your Apple account and can be restored on any iPhone or iPad signed in with it. Got a code? Redeem it on the Lifetime page. YOUR DATA Nothing is sent to anyone. Reminders are made and shown by this phone. Your backup is one file, sealed with a key only you know, and you decide where it goes. A new phone gets everything back from it.
