Grid Notes App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Instead of lists and folders, you get a zoomable grid where you can place notes wherever they feel right - cluster related ideas together, spread a project across the canvas, or keep a corner just for quick thoughts. FEATURES - Large canvas — pan and zoom freely across a grid canvas - Place notes anywhere — long press anywhere on the canvas to drop a note - Rich notes — add a title, body text, color, images, videos, and PDF attachments - Pin notes — lock important notes in place so they don't move while you pan - Search — find any note instantly by title or content - Export & import — back up all your notes as a single JSON file - Fully offline — everything stays on your device, nothing is sent anywhere DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No cloud sync. Just you and your canvas. Grid Notes is built for people who think spatially - writers mapping out a story, developers tracking ideas across a project, students connecting concepts, or anyone who finds flat lists too limiting. PRIVACY All your notes, images, and files are stored locally on your device. Grid Notes does not collect any personal data and has no internet connection.
