SingleNote is a simple note taking app with character counter, word counter, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. SingleNote is just one note so there is no file management and no folders to worry about. You can simply create your note, copy the text to use elsewhere, then forget about it. Perfect for composing social media posts, the text for a website form, or that message you’re agonising over. Your text is saved until you clear it (ready for your next note) or you uninstall the app. CHARACTER COUNTER and WORD COUNTER SingleNote helps you stay under whatever limits your text faces. WIDGETS Show the text of your SingleNote on the Home Screen and Lock Screen using the built-in, customisable widgets. You can change the widget font style, text colour and background colour to perfectly match the look of your Home Screen. QUICK ACTION BUTTONS SingleNote has quick action buttons so copying, pasting, and sharing text are each just a tap away. BUTTON CUSTOMISATION You can configure the quick action buttons to speed up your workflow, making SingleNote even quicker and easier to use: – Turn the Copy button into a "Cut" button to leave the note empty when you copy the text. – Set the Paste button to replace any existing text when pasting new content. SHORTCUTS With the the built-in SingleNote shortcuts, you can add text to your SingleNote from within other apps or even using Siri.
