FadingNotes
Read full descriptionHide full description
FadingNotes is a sticky-note style memo app that gives your notes a deadline so you can organize your thoughts and train your ability to act. Create memos with a title, body, and checklist. Mark important items as favorites, sort by newest or time remaining, and share memo text through the system share sheet. Seven days after a memo is created or restored, it moves to the archive automatically. It is permanently deleted 30 days after its archive deadline. Editing or favoriting a memo does not postpone either deadline. The free plan supports up to five active memos and includes ads. Pro Monthly or Pro Lifetime removes ads and unlocks unlimited active memos. Purchases can be restored.
