Your brain is not a storage device. JustPad is. JustPad is a brain dump app: one endless page where you empty your head the moment a thought appears. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no "where should this go?" friction. Open the app and you're already writing. That's the whole point. When your mind is juggling twenty things at once — tasks, worries, ideas, things you must not forget — the fastest way to feel calm again is to get them all out of your head and onto a page. JustPad makes that take two seconds. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open JustPad. Your page is right there — no navigation, ever. 2. Dump everything: tasks, ideas, worries, half-thoughts. Don't organize, just write. 3. Select anything that needs action and turn it into a reminder with one tap. Your mind is clear; nothing is lost. BUILT FOR OVERLOADED MINDS • One Endless Page — Everything lives in a single continuous page. No tabs, no folders, no decisions. Perfect for ADHD-friendly capture, racing thoughts, journaling, brainstorming, or just getting things off your chest. • Dump → Reminder — Select any line and turn it into a system notification. Brain dump first, act later — without copying anything into another app. • Readable Dumps — Light Markdown highlighting formats your headings (#) and lists (-, *) automatically, so even a messy dump stays scannable. No syntax to learn. • Share a Thought as an Image — Select text and instantly capture it as a clean image to share anywhere. • Stealth Mode — Writing something personal on the train? Switch to a tiny-font mode that only you can read up close. • Private by Design — JustPad requests no network access. Your thoughts stay on your device, with optional end-to-end iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad. No account, no tracking, no ads. • iCloud Sync Status — A subtle cloud icon shows you exactly when your page is synced across devices. • Import & Utilities — Import text files (up to 100,000 characters), see your word count, and manage all active reminders in one place. WHO IT'S FOR – ADHD brains and overthinkers who need thoughts out of their head *now* – Anyone doing a nightly brain dump to sleep better – Writers and students capturing ideas before they vanish – People tired of note apps that feel like filing cabinets – Anyone who values privacy and local-first storage JustPad is built natively in Swift and SwiftUI, supports iOS 15+, and is optimized for iPhone and iPad. Stop trying to remember everything. Dump it, clear your mind, move on. Download JustPad and do your first brain dump in the next ten seconds.

Noteboo is a notes app you swipe through, not one you file things into. Pages sit side by side like your home screen. Swipe to move between them. Every note is a card — what you see is the whole note, so nothing is hidden behind a tap. WRITE FIRST, DECIDE LATER Open the app and the writing bar is already there. No folder to pick, no section to choose, no blank document to name. Type it, and it is kept. ADD ONLY WHAT THE NOTE NEEDS Any note can carry a little more, and nothing it does not: — A reminder that arrives at the right moment — A countdown that quietly says "in 12 days" — An amount, in the currency you use — A photo, from the camera or your library — A place, picked off the map — A link — An icon, so you can find it by its shape THREE KINDS OF NOTE — Notes, for the things you want to keep — Tasks, for the things you want to tick off — Logs, for the things that happen more than once — every time you add to one it keeps the date, so you can look back at the whole run A COLOUR PER PAGE Every page carries its own colour, and the whole screen takes it on as you swipe. You know where you are before you have read a word. WHAT IS COMING UP, ON ONE SCREEN Swipe left for the agenda: what is overdue, what is today, what is this week, what comes after — and the notes you wrote most recently. No charts, no totals, no dashboard. ALL YOUR PAGES AT A GLANCE Swipe right for the grid, where every page is a small tile in its own colour. Search across everything from there, reorder your pages, and archive the ones you are finished with instead of deleting them. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Nothing you write leaves your phone — there is no server for it to go to. Lock the app behind Face ID if you want one more layer. MADE TO FEEL RIGHT Light and dark, in five languages. Every animation and every tap is tuned, and all of it respects Reduce Motion, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. Noteboo is for the thought you want out of your head in two seconds. If you are writing pages, use something else.
