Your notes live in your own iCloud — even the developer can't see them. SuiJi Notes is a quiet note-taking app: no ads, no social feeds, no algorithm. Open it, write, done. Your notes sync automatically across iPhone, iPad and Mac via iCloud. One-time purchase — no subscription, no in-app purchases. WHY SUIJI NOTES Your data belongs to you Every note is stored in your personal iCloud space (CloudKit private database). The developer cannot read, analyze, or recover it. No user profiling, no behavior tracking — your ideas are your business. Rich text editing Headings, bold, italics, lists, quotes — all the essentials. Insert images, videos, audio, and file attachments. One note can hold all your materials. Drawing canvas Built-in canvas with pencil, marker, and shape tools. Sketch diagrams, annotate photos, or doodle your next big idea. Paragraph-level tags Tag entire notes — or single paragraphs. Filter by tag later to recall exactly where you wrote that one line. Note lock Lock individual notes with a passcode separate from your device. Diaries, accounts, private thoughts — an extra layer of protection. Markdown import & export Import Markdown documents (and .docx), or export any note as a Markdown archive. Your data travels with you, never locked in. Seamless sync across devices Start a draft on Mac, continue on iPhone during your commute; take class notes on iPad, organize them at your desk. iCloud syncs everything — no third-party account required. PRICING One-time purchase. Yours forever. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. A notes app shouldn't charge you monthly.
