Your Notes, Your Secrets — Reimagined. Welcome to a different kind of notes app. Designed for privacy, built for simplicity, and powered by a unique approach to hidden notes. # Truly Private Notes Create hidden notes that don’t appear anywhere in the app. No titles, no previews, not even a count. The only way to access them? Enter the exact passphrase you used to create them. If you don’t remember it, it’s like the note never existed. # Visible Notes, If You Want Them Prefer something more traditional? Mark any note as visible, and it will show up in your list. Easily switch between your private thoughts and everyday to-dos. # Raw Markdown + Preview Toggle Write in pure Markdown, and toggle to preview your note beautifully rendered. Focus on content first, then enjoy the polished result—no distractions, no clutter. # iCloud Sync Keep your notes with you, securely synced across all your Apple devices. # Dark Mode Thoughtfully designed for low-light environments, perfect for night writing or discreet journaling. Why You’ll Love It - Journal without leaving a trace. - Store sensitive thoughts or ideas without fear of exposure. - Draft blog posts, code snippets, or creative writing in Markdown. - Keep everyday notes visible, and hidden notes truly hidden. Minimal. Powerful. Private.

wrongperson is a curated playbook for shrinking your digital footprint. It catalogues 488 privacy actions - credit freezes, data-broker opt-outs, mail aggregators, social-media cleanup, identity protections - and helps you work through them as a stamped dossier. THE DOSSIER Every privacy task is a case file. URLs you haven't acted on are covered with a black redaction bar. Open a case, follow the instructions, file the redaction. When you mark it Reviewed, the stamp drops. WHAT'S IN IT - All three U.S. credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) plus Innovis, Chex, NCTUE, and the lesser-known consumer reporting agencies - The data brokers you've heard of (Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages) and the dozens you haven't - Premium aggregators that require mail or email requests (with templates) - Business-listing services, marketing aggregators, public-records republishers - Device-level privacy hardening: phone, laptop, home network - Mapping services: Google Street View, Apple Look Around, Bing Streetside - Extreme-tier actions: disinformation, copyright takedowns, "planting your flag" LEVELS Every task is tagged STANDARD (baseline), PRIORITY (committed effort), or CRITICAL (off-grid). You can complete tasks at any level regardless of where you started — the levels just affect what we suggest first. GHOST CLEARANCE (SUBSCRIPTION) The advanced Ghost tier - 237 CRITICAL cases covering federal-level identity locks, takedowns with legal teeth, and decoy tradecraft - unlocks with Ghost Clearance, an auto-renewable subscription: $6.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://wrongperson.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://wrongperson.app/privacy WHAT IT WON'T DO - It won't submit opt-out requests for you. You fill in your own forms — we just give you the page and the procedure. - It won't promise that any opt-out will succeed or stay successful. Data brokers re-aggregate. We make the recurring work less painful. - It won't track you. No accounts, no email, no advertising, no profile-building. Everything you do is local to your device unless you turn on iCloud sync — and then it syncs to YOUR iCloud, never to us. YOUR DATA - All progress, notes, and onboarding answers live in a database on this device - iCloud Replication (off by default) syncs your stamps to your own iCloud private database — we have no access - Export your full file to JSON or CSV any time - Delete everything with one button (Burn The File) PRIVACY POLICY See Settings → Privacy Policy. Short version: we collect almost nothing, and what we do collect is anonymous. GET STARTED Most people start with the three credit-bureau freezes. Five minutes each. Free. Single biggest fraud-prevention move available - and the first three cases the app suggests on launch. Wrongperson is built and maintained by Elite Performance Exclusive LLC. Catalog updates and bug fixes ship as app updates. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.wrongperson.app/privacy
