FragNote is a minimalist card-based recording tool that you can use to jot down anything, such as notes, diaries, inspirations, memos, and reminders. - Multiple Recording Methods Text, images, Live Photos, videos, audio, and geolocation. - Custom Categories The home page is a default timeline, but you can enable categories in the settings, with up to four main categories available. - Multilevel Tags Use multilevel tags to better organize and summarize your records. - Questions and Titles These are more suitable for summarizing and categorizing than tags, which are best kept short. Titles and questions, however, can be lengthy. - Card associations External link, internal link, external reference, and internal reference—four types of associations that make connections between cards more flexible. - Calendar A combination of heat maps and image calendars allows you to see your recording trends. - Map and Geolocation Add or edit locations, view your records on a map, and enable the option to read timestamps and locations from your photos in the settings. - Personalization Customize theme colors, background images, and app icons as needed. - Notifications A minimalist notification feature that works well with checklists. - Sharing Convert your content into images to share with friends. - Cloud Sync If you are logged into iCloud on your device, all content is automatically saved to your iCloud account. This data is not stored on our servers, ensuring absolute privacy.
