Keep notes you really care about in focus with this mini note app & widget. It’s like a pinned note in its own app. The app feels like just 1 note, but you can create up to 8 infinite pages. It features beautiful typefaces. There is extra spacing between lines. You can mark lines with color, italics, or both. Pages can also be given custom names. Each page is saved as a plain text file, either in iCloud Drive or only on your iPhone or iPad. Text and links can be added to a page in the app from within other apps using the Share button. You can add a sticky note widget to your Home Screen and Lock Screen that shows the last line you selected in the app or the line you pinned in the Home Screen widget. A control lets you open the app directly from Control Center or your Lock Screen. You can also assign this control to your iPhone’s Action button. An Apple Watch app and widget show the last line you selected in the app on your paired iPhone or the line you pinned in the app on your watch.

Support for Apple’s Writing Tools on compatible devices. Supports multiple windows on iPad. Fully accessible with VoiceOver.
