For users searching for a simple and uncomplicated way to create that routine shopping list, this app is for you! Being only a shopping list with no complicated add-ons will make it easier for you to use. Use the Quick Add tab to create a list as you remember needed items in your busy day, or create a fuller weekly list using the extensive bank of items (more than 800) by clicking on the Add tab. You can even add your own items to this bank so that everything you ever need to shop for can be added to your list at the click of a button. Use the Notes field to indicate special features of your purchase such as weight, brand or price. The green buttons to the left of your list provide a useful checklist function allowing you to check off items as you get them. Or, using the red buttons to the right of your list, you can immediately delete items as they are purchased. This app will make your shopping trip a breeze. Never forget an item again!

You're on a call and need to jot something down. Sound familiar? Your default notes app takes ages to open - and lands on the last note you edited. Your reminders app only does reminders. And that powerful notebook app? You'll spend half a minute just deciding where the note should go. QuickNotes removes every step between a thought and a note. ONE SURFACE, ZERO DECISIONS Tasks, notes, ideas and reminders live together on a single board. No folders, no notebooks, no "where should I put this". Open the app, tap one icon, type, done - it takes seconds. BUILT FOR SPEED • Opens instantly, straight to your board • One tap to add a task, note, idea or reminder • Swipe right to complete, swipe left to delete • Tap any item to edit it • Undo & redo for every action - nothing is ever lost by accident TIDIES ITSELF UP Completed items stay greyed out on your board for 24 hours - so you can see what you got done today. Then they file themselves into the archive automatically. Deleted items go to the trash first, so nothing disappears for good until you say so. YOUR STYLE Three looks - Color, Mono and Glass - plus automatic light and dark mode following your system. PRIVATE & OFFLINE BY DESIGN • Works 100% offline - no internet connection needed, ever • All your data is stored only on your iPhone and never leaves it • No account, no sign-up, no cloud • No ads, no tracking, no analytics • Doesn't ask for a single permission AND THE SMALL THINGS THAT MATTER • Opens instantly - no splash screens to sit through • English and Czech, following your system language • Tiny download, minimal footprint QuickNotes is for busy people who just want to capture a thought before it's gone - without thinking about where it belongs. Open. Jot down. Done.
