Textile is the notes app for people who just want to write. No login, no account, no subscription, no ads. Buy it once and it's yours forever. Textile does one thing perfectly: it gives you a beautiful, distraction-free place to type. WHAT YOU GET • A carefully curated set of elegant fonts, including sans-serif, serif (roman and italic), and monospace, because typography changes how writing feels. • Automatic iCloud backup and restore. Your notes are safe, and they come back if you reinstall. • A Home Screen widget: tap to jump straight into a new note. • Dynamic Type and dark mode, everywhere in the app. • Plain text, always. Nothing proprietary, nothing to lock you in. WHAT YOU DON'T GET No half-built checklists, no drawing tools, no cloud accounts to configure, no cryptic menus, no upsells. Textile is built on the belief that a tool should do one thing perfectly, not a hundred things badly. Simplicity, typography, quality. A smaller feature set means every feature is bulletproof: reliable, fast, and streamlined. Let your phone get out of your way. Questions or requests?
