Type is a shared notebook for your whole home. The shopping list, contracts, insurance policies, bills and dates โ€” everything about running the house, in one place everyone at home can see, instead of a chat thread, an inbox and one person's head. For you and the people you live with, travel with or plan with. INVITE ANYONE Family, flatmates or the friends you travel with. There is no limit on people in a notebook, everyone reads and edits live, and the people you invite don't need PRO. A SHOPPING LIST EVERYONE SEES LIVE Tom ticks off the tomatoes in the shop, Anna sees it the same second and adds dish soap before he reaches the till. Several people can write in the same note at the same time. POLICY, CONTRACT, RECEIPT โ€” WITH THE NOTE The insurance PDF, a photo of the receipt, a link to the sofa or a voice note recorded on the go. Everything sits next to the thing it is about, and every file in the notebook is also in one view. DATES THE WHOLE HOUSE REMEMBERS Car insurance, the end of your internet contract, the boiler service: set a reminder on the note and everyone in the notebook gets it. FIND IT A YEAR LATER Type one word and Type searches every note. Mention someone in a note with @ or ask them to take a look โ€” they get a notification about that exact thing. ON EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, computer and browser. One account, the same notes. Your notes stay on your phone without internet, and changes sync when you are back online. YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS Only the people you invite to a notebook can see what is in it. No public profiles, no ads. The app collects no usage statistics, and we never read your notes. You can export everything to a ZIP in Settings and delete your account in the app's settings. PLANS FREE: 3 shared notebooks, 1 GB for files, unlimited notes, version history and trash from the last 7 days. PRO: unlimited shared notebooks, 20 GB for files for each person, version history and trash from 90 days. Each person buys PRO for themselves. PRO is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews for the same period and price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or turn it off in your Apple ID account settings. Prices in your currency are shown in the app before you buy. Terms of Use: https://type-note.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://type-note.app/privacy/
