About

FlickNote

Features
Read full description

FlickNote is a simple note app built for the moment before an idea disappears. No folders, no setup, no heavy system to maintain. Open the app, write one line, and save it. Later, you can mark it important, add a reminder, or archive it when it is done. FlickNote also supports Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so your most useful notes stay visible without opening the app. Key features: - Fast one-line note capture - Important note highlighting - One-time reminders - Notification actions for Done, Snooze, Keep, and Archive - Home Screen widgets - Lock Screen widgets - Archive for finished notes FlickNote Pro: FlickNote Pro is a one-time purchase. It unlocks repeating reminders, multiple pages, iCloud sync, advanced widgets, themes, weekly summaries, and future Pro upgrades. FlickNote is not trying to be a huge notes suite. It is for groceries, calls, small work tasks, quick ideas, and anything you need to catch before it slips away.
