About

Noteit Widget

Features
Read full description

Noteit is the simplest way to share a quick doodle with the one person who matters. Pick a friend, sketch something silly, hit send. Their home screen widget shows your drawing the second you tap Send. Open noteit at the same moment? Watch each other draw stroke-by-stroke, live. That's it. That's the whole app. WHY NOTEIT • One friend at a time. No groups, no feed, no followers. • Drawings live for 24 hours, then disappear forever. • A widget on their home screen — they don't even have to open noteit to see it. • Live mode when you're both online. Stroke-by-stroke, no delay. • Beautifully simple, deliberately small. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple. Pick a username. 2. Add one friend by their @noteit username. 3. Tap their card, draw, send. 4. They see it on their home screen. Magic. WHAT'S INSIDE • 8 colors and 3 brush sizes • Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity (iPad supported) • Undo, clear, redraw — until you're happy • Push notifications when a friend draws back • Small + medium home screen widgets • Light, fast, friendly to your battery WHO IT'S FOR Couples in a long-distance moment. Best friends mid-meeting. Siblings on different couches. Anyone who wants to say "hey, I'm thinking of you" without typing a word. PRIVACY FIRST Your drawings live for 24 hours, then they're gone — auto-deleted from our servers. We never sell your data, never sell ads to third parties about you, and never collect anything you didn't consent to. Apple Sign-In keeps your email private if you choose. Read our full policy in Settings → Privacy Policy. QUESTIONS? Settings → Contact. We read every message. Welcome to noteit. Now go draw something for someone.
