Great for: - Anyone who needs to edit many notes at once (batch find & replace) - Anyone who copies, pastes, and duplicates notes often - Anyone who wants notes organized into folders (binders) - Anyone who wants full control over their data (plain text files) Features - Batch text find & replace - Easy copy, paste, and duplicate - Organize notes into folders (binders) - All data saved as plain text (.txt), viewable directly in the Files app - Built-in browser - Passcode lock We're keeping iNote simple while continuously adding the small conveniences that make note-taking faster.
