This is not your typical notes app! In simpler times, if someone had a thought, they might jot it down in a notebook. If they had another thought, it would go right below the earlier one. No need for organizing, tagging, editing, or correcting old mistakes. If something became distracting, or if it was a TODO item that was done, it could just be crossed out. This app is that: a note taking app reminiscent of pen and paper, where the only form of organization was the sequence the notes were written in. With Appended, if you have a thought, you append it to your only ongoing note. If some entry is no longer relevant, you can cross it out, or delete it, but there is no temptation -- because there's no ability -- to edit or organize. Appended differs from a paper notebook in only two ways: * Notes are (optionally) rendered in markdown. Without a distracting formatting UI, you can bring life to your notes by adding lists, tables, links, rich text, and images * Notes are fully searchable, making it much easier to find something you wrote months ago buried among all your other great ideas Other great features: * Encrypted notes sync securely across all your devices (requires iCloud) * Create notes using Siri by simply saying "Create a note using Appended" * View or add notes straight from your Apple Watch * Use the Shortcuts app to append notes, search them, and more * Search super quickly and see either only results or view matching notes in context * Strikethrough notes that are no longer important to you, or optionally hide them. Easily toggle whether they're included in search results * Share individual notes or drag them into other apps * Copy notes to your clipboard * Configurable reading options like font and size * Tap anywhere to show nothing but your notes * Full undo/redo support Features Appended does NOT have: * Complicated organization that makes you wonder where you've put old notes * Super flexible organization that makes you feel guilty when you just need to write something down so you don't forget it * Todo lists that grow faster than you can manage, resulting in you never using it anymore * Distracting formatting UIs, making you think about how your notes should look rather than noting them before you forget * Editing existing notes

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Weekend against 5.0 for Appended. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekend has 41 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
