Get it out of your head. Keep it in sight. Just Notes is a calm place for what you mean to remember: today's to-do, the quote for the kitchen, the call at eleven. Write it in seconds and it is there, in order, the next time you look. EVERYTHING IN ONE NOTE Checklists, headings, links, photos and files sit in the note they belong to. Paste a table from Google Sheets, sort it, add a formula and read the total without opening a spreadsheet. Attachments stay with the note even after you move or delete the original. REMINDERS THAT RING Set the reminder inside the note. On iOS 26, once you allow alarms, it rings through Silent mode and Focus and shows itself over a locked screen. On earlier versions it arrives as a notification with the sound you chose. ONE CALM LIST Your notes gather into sections you open and close. Archive what is done and bring it back whenever you need it. A note is deleted for good only after you confirm. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget keeps your notes, reminders and tasks in sight without opening the app. MAKE IT YOURS Seven themes, a color for every section from 130 shades, five app icons. YOURS TO KEEP Everything you write is saved as you type and works offline. Export any time to plain files that open in any text editor, today or ten years from now. No analytics and no tracking, and what you write stays on your iPhone until you switch sync on. SYNC BETWEEN YOUR DEVICES Sign in with the same Google account on your iPhone and your Mac, and your notes follow you, through a private folder in your own Google Drive that only Just Notes can open. We never see your notes. We keep the address of the Google account you sign in with, so we can write to you when there is real news; every email carries an unsubscribe link. Sync is the one paid part: an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly to your Apple Account. It renews unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Everything else is free, for as long as you like, and works without an account.
