CoreNote Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
CoreNote is a private notes app. No account, no ads, no sign-in. Your notes sync between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud. Each note has its own title, body, and ink color, written on a floating card instead of a full-page sheet. Bookmark the ones you come back to. Deleted notes sit in Trash for 7 days, then clear themselves. Empty notes are kept, not thrown away. Accounts is a single page: write down an email address or phone number, then list the apps you registered with it. Grouped by email and phone automatically. It records where you signed up — names only, nothing else. What it does: - Notes with a separate title line, body, and one of four ink colors - Bookmarks, and a 7-day Trash - Accounts: which email or phone signed up for what, on one page - Three canvases: Indigo, Slate, and Pine - One app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, synced through your private iCloud database What it doesn't do: No account, no sharing, no search, no attachments, no analytics SDKs. It does not store passwords and is not a password manager. Notes are kept on your devices and in your own private iCloud, which we cannot read; nothing is sent to us, analyzed, or shared. Without iCloud, everything stays on the device.
