### Featured in TED Blog: “25+ apps to make your everyday life easier” ### Capture a thought, to-do, or scrap of information, FAST! MeMail does one thing exceptionally well: send quick emails to a pre-set address. Email yourself reminders or notes? Just launch, type, and send — that's it! No fishing around for the right contact. Simply set your address the first time you open the app and you’re good to go. FEATURES: • Email messages are sent from your own account — they come from *you*, not a third party. • Full subject-line control: Enable "AutoSubject" to add the first few words of your message to the subject line, or just use a custom prefix like "[MeMail]" so your messages stand out in your Inbox. You can use or both, or neither — or even change the subject manually before the message goes out — it’s up to you! • Optional Subject Suffix setting • Optional Cc: address setting • Supports TextExpander 3.5.4 snippet expansion, including fill-in forms • Optimized for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus • One-Tap Send: Enter the settings for the mail account of your choice if you’d like to bypass the standard message screen and make MeMail even faster. TIPS: • MeMail is great for sending emails to yourself, but many find it invaluable for other uses. Set your significant other for quick "ETA" messages, use an Omni Mail Drop address and have your messages appear automatically as tasks in OmniFocus — if you can do it with email, you can do it faster with MeMail.

Send It to Yourself Because sometimes the fastest way to remember something… is to email it to yourself. I built this app for one reason: I was tired of opening my inbox, tapping compose, typing my own email address, and waiting for the damn thing to send. No more subject lines. No more drafts. No more swiping through five different apps to jot something down. Just type what's in your head — or snap a photo, or record a voice note — and it shows up in your inbox. Instantly. Cleanly. Reliably. Why does this exist? Because I — like many people — use my email as a second brain. To-dos. Links. Notes. Book ideas. Shopping lists. Code snippets. Random thoughts at 2 a.m. Email is searchable. It's everywhere. And it works. But sending yourself an email shouldn't feel like filing your taxes. What this app does: • Type a note, snap a photo, or record a voice memo • Tap send — it's in your inbox in seconds • Jump straight in from the Share Sheet, a widget, or a long-press Quick Action — no need to even open the app • Save up to 10 destinations, so it's just as easy to send to a partner or shared inbox as it is to yourself That's it. No accounts. No logins. No clutter. What this app doesn't do: • It doesn't replace your email client • It doesn't send from your address — we use a fast, fixed sender for speed • It doesn't overcomplicate things with tags, folders, or rich formatting Free to try. Send a couple notes. See if it clicks. If it does, it's a few bucks a year. Less than a coffee. Way more useful. No ads. No tracking. No gimmicks. Just one button to send it to yourself. ---- InstaNotes Pro: • Send unlimited emails on a subscription basis • Your payment will be charged to your iTunes account upon confirmation of purchase • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period • You can easily manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in Apple's settings • Read the Terms & Conditions at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Read the Privacy policy: https://coffeeandjunk.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-c75b31be8f164b18b5ead4909126a6df You can email up to 3 notes for free. After that you'd have to purchase InstaNotes Pro.
