What it is: A clock on which you can annotate quickly (Just like how you mark things on a table calendar!) Purpose: Spontaneous and quick visualization of a day Background story: Lockdown blurred my days and nights, Breakfast at two, then four, odd sights. Calendars failed, friction too steepβ€” I sketched my hours, a circle to keep. An analog clock showed the way, Day at a glance, simple, clear, my day.

About

Text+

Read full description

Text+ is a rich text editor for iPhone and iPad, designed for quick notes, long-form writing, and organizing documents across devices. STRUCTURED WRITING β€’ Body text, three heading levels, block quotes, code blocks, and horizontal rules β€’ Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and highlighting β€’ Bulleted and numbered lists, task lists, tables, images, attachments, math, and Mermaid diagrams β€’ Find and replace, document outline, character count, and reading zoom ORGANIZE WITH CLARITY Organize with folders, Unfiled, pinning, locking, and seven color labels. Search titles and supported document content; batch move, share, export, restore items from Trash, or let Trash clean up after 30 days. WORK NATURALLY WITH MARKDOWN Import and export Markdown while preserving supported headings, lists, tasks, tables, links, images, footnotes, math, and more. When content cannot be represented safely or comes from a newer format, Text+ protects the original instead of silently overwriting it. ICLOUD ACROSS DEVICES Use the same Text+ documents on iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud. Existing on-device content remains available to view, edit, and save offline, and synchronization continues when connectivity returns. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD iPhone provides a focused single-column experience. iPad adds a two-column workspace with keyboard, pointer, drag and drop, and Scribble support. THEMES, SHARING, AND EXPORT Choose from System, Colorful, Rainmist, and Parchment themes. Share by Mail, AirDrop, the system share sheet, or Files, and export as TXT, Markdown, PDF, RTF, or HTML. Text+ puts document safety first: when uncertain, it protects the original and clearly warns about possible formatting loss, so you can write and organize with confidence.
