About

Noteboo

Features
Read full description

Noteboo is a notes app you swipe through, not one you file things into. Pages sit side by side like your home screen. Swipe to move between them. Every note is a card — what you see is the whole note, so nothing is hidden behind a tap. WRITE FIRST, DECIDE LATER Open the app and the writing bar is already there. No folder to pick, no section to choose, no blank document to name. Type it, and it is kept. ADD ONLY WHAT THE NOTE NEEDS Any note can carry a little more, and nothing it does not: — A reminder that arrives at the right moment — A countdown that quietly says "in 12 days" — An amount, in the currency you use — A photo, from the camera or your library — A place, picked off the map — A link — An icon, so you can find it by its shape THREE KINDS OF NOTE — Notes, for the things you want to keep — Tasks, for the things you want to tick off — Logs, for the things that happen more than once — every time you add to one it keeps the date, so you can look back at the whole run A COLOUR PER PAGE Every page carries its own colour, and the whole screen takes it on as you swipe. You know where you are before you have read a word. WHAT IS COMING UP, ON ONE SCREEN Swipe left for the agenda: what is overdue, what is today, what is this week, what comes after — and the notes you wrote most recently. No charts, no totals, no dashboard. ALL YOUR PAGES AT A GLANCE Swipe right for the grid, where every page is a small tile in its own colour. Search across everything from there, reorder your pages, and archive the ones you are finished with instead of deleting them. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Nothing you write leaves your phone — there is no server for it to go to. Lock the app behind Face ID if you want one more layer. MADE TO FEEL RIGHT Light and dark, in five languages. Every animation and every tap is tuned, and all of it respects Reduce Motion, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. Noteboo is for the thought you want out of your head in two seconds. If you are writing pages, use something else.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Noteboo at none against BluLines's 1. Noteboo also leads on ads (none vs shown). BluLines's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
