Note by Chat & Send Files
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most note apps are bloated. They make simple things complicated. We made SelfChatNote to do the opposite. β THINK IN STREAMS β Your mind doesn't work in folders and documents. It flows. SelfChatNote works the same way β just write what's on your mind, like texting yourself. Pin the important stuff. Archive what's done. Drag to rearrange. That's it. β TODOS WITHOUT ANOTHER APP β Why do you need a separate app for tasks? You don't. Write your todos alongside your thoughts. Flip to Todo View when you need to see everything. Check things off. Move on with your life. β SEND FILE QUICK β Sometimes dropping doesn't work. Sometimes you're on different networks. Sometimes your PC doesn't even support it. We get it. Send File Quick lets you move files between your desktop and phone without the headache. Scan a code, pick a file, done. No cables. No cloud uploads. No waiting for devices to "discover" each other. β MARKDOWN, IF YOU WANT β We support it. But we won't force it on you. Just type normally if that's your thing. β THE POINT β No clutter. No complexity. Just you and your thoughts, organized the way they naturally flow. Terms of Use: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
