Meno is a notepad built on one idea: what you write is meant to disappear. Open the app and start writing instantly. No accounts, no folders, no clutter β€” just a clean white page. Swipe left or right, or leave the app, and your note is gone. Meno is the perfect space for passing thoughts, quick drafts, sensitive notes, and anything you don't want lingering on your phone. Need something to last a little longer? Create a Timed Note. Choose how long it should live β€” from a few minutes up to 24 hours β€” and it will quietly delete itself when time runs out. Your first Timed Note each day is free; after that, watch a short ad to create as many as you like. FEATURES - Instant, distraction-free writing on a clean white page - Swipe to erase β€” or simply leave the app and it's gone - Timed Notes that self-delete after up to 24 hours - One free Timed Note every day - Adjustable text size - No accounts. No cloud. Your notes never leave your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Meno has no servers and no sign-up. Notes exist only on your device and vanish by design. Nothing you write is ever collected or stored by us. Write it down. Let it go.
