About

Mark.

Read full description

Mark is a notes and lists app that looks like paper and stays out of your way. Write a note. Make a list. Everything saves as you type, so there is no save button anywhere. HIGHLIGHT ANY LINE Color a single line of a list, the way you would with a marker: the thing to buy first, the one that matters, the one that's late. Give a whole note a color too. ON THE GRID Every note sits on a printed grid of rows and columns. Lay your board out as Flow, Grid or List, whichever way you think. LISTS THAT KEEP UP Check things off and they drop to the bottom. Tuck items under others. A link shows its page's title instead of the address. FIND IT AGAIN Pin notes to the top, add labels, archive what's done and search everything. Deleted notes wait in Trash for 7 days. YOURS, EVERYWHERE Sign in with your email, no password, and your notes sync with Mark on the web at markdot.app. Mark works offline and catches up when you're back. LIGHT AND DARK Mark follows your iPhone's appearance, or pick one in Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads and no trackers. Your notes are yours: export everything or delete your account from Settings at any time.
