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.

About

CoParnt

Features
Read full description

CoParnt is the co-parenting app built around one idea: every change goes through both parents. Shared calendars are fine for keeping track — but when plans change, a calendar entry doesn't tell the whole story. CoParnt adds an approval layer so neither parent is caught off guard. Request a schedule swap, explain why, and let your co-parent accept or decline. Everyone sees the same thing. No crossed wires. WHAT YOU CAN DO Shared Calendar See the full picture: which child is where, which parent has them tonight, and what's coming up this week. Add school events, appointments, sports, and activities — linked to the children they involve, so nothing gets lost in a general family calendar. Handovers Log your regular custody schedule as recurring handovers, then add one-off changes on top. Each handover stores the time, location, and coordinates — so getting directions to the drop-off spot is one tap away. Requests & Approvals Need to swap a drop-off time? Ask your co-parent — with a reason, and a clear view of what's changing. They approve or decline. No ambiguity, no "I never agreed to that." Reminder Requests Ask your co-parent to handle something for the kids — buy school shoes, pack the swim kit, return the library books. Reminders can recur on a schedule and track completion, so nothing falls through the cracks. Tonight at a Glance Open the app and immediately see which parent has the children tonight, any handovers for the day, and any requests waiting on your attention. Push Notifications Get notified when a new request comes in, and receive a morning summary of anything that still needs a response.
