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.

When content cannot be represented safely or comes from a newer format, Text+ protects the original instead of silently overwriting it.

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.
