Ideas vanish fast. TTingNote lets you catch one in 300 characters the moment it hits, then shows it to you again just as you start to forget. Write it down now - Open the app and you're already on a blank note. Siri, Control Center, and the Action button get you there in one step, too. - When the 300-character bar fills up, a “!” appears. Keep going in the next note, and the two stay linked. See it again - Flip through your notes one at a time in the Revisit tab. Starred notes come up more often. - Older notes similar to what you've written lately come up first. Find and sort - Search finds notes even when your words don't match exactly. Sort by star or by date. - On devices with Apple Intelligence turned on, search also finds notes with a similar meaning. Look up “bakery” and your dessert notes show up too. - Export and import your notes as a CSV file. TTingNote Pro - Write and revisit right from widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. - Once a day, Daily TTing sends you one of your notes as a notification. - iCloud keeps the same notes on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Dictate notes on Apple Watch and fix the transcript on the spot. - Yearly (7-day free trial) or lifetime (Family Sharing). No ads. Your notes stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Nothing is sent to us.
