Text yourself your thoughts, then see them all by #tag. Notes you text to yourself quickly scroll out of sight and are hard to find again. Hashnote gathers notes with the same #tag and lays them all out on one screen, so even a note from three months ago is a tap away. ■ Grouped by topic, at a glance (Tag Map) · #travel, #recipes, #todo… see which notes gather under each tag, all on one screen. · Tap a note to preview it, then jump straight to it in the chat. · Tap a tag to see only the notes with that tag. ■ Write like a chat · The keyboard is up the moment you open the app. Type, send, done. · Date dividers and timestamps show when you wrote each note. · Links in your notes are tappable. · Save links and text from any app's Share button, tags and all. · Select several notes and delete them at once. ■ Just add a #tag · Write #work or #idea anywhere in a note and it becomes a tag. · Type # and your tags appear as chips you can pick with one tap. · Rename a tag and every note updates with it; merge similar tags into one. ■ Or search by word · Search by words or #tag, with matches highlighted. · Tap a result to jump to that spot in the chat. ■ Speak your notes · Tap the mic and talk; Hashnote writes it down for you. · Say "tag work" and it becomes #work. · Dictation runs on your iPhone, so your voice never leaves the device. ■ Sync and backup · Your notes sync with iCloud across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. · Export or import all your notes in Settings. ■ Notes just for you · Your notes are stored only on your devices and in your iCloud. No sign-up needed. · Pick one of eight accent colors for your tags and buttons. Great for you if · you've been texting notes to yourself in a messenger · you can never find the note you wrote last month · note apps feel too heavy, so you stop using them · you want ideas, to-dos, links and journal entries in one place
