A good place for your thoughts. Keep notes, tasks, ideas and code snippets in one clear app. Use tags, search, colored flags and due dates. Work locally and offline. Export your data or select your own shared folder through an available file or cloud provider. Ten entries in total are free; a one-time in-app purchase enables additional entries. Existing content remains readable, editable and exportable above the limit. No subscription. Shopping lists with an optional store, full item search and reuse of previous groceries. Checked items remain visible for five seconds so you can undo a tap. Recipes include ingredients, preparation, servings, custom categories and a favorite star; send ingredients to a new or existing shopping list. Attach images and files (up to 8 MB per file, 32 MB for the whole notebook including history). Track homework by subject, optional due date and completion. Choose visible sections per device in Settings; hidden entries are preserved. A list or recipe counts as one entry. Plan trips and keep your memories with linked base and trip packing lists, a diary, inline images and PDF export. The diary offers optional password protection that encrypts its contents and attachments. Choose light and dark colors, hide completed tasks and return to your last category. Enable new features individually. See due dates, tick off tasks and export them to your calendar.
