Read full description

Some ideas just need a quiet place. Thought Meadow is a simple, native notes app for iPhone, in English and Arabic. Capture a thought, plan your day, and keep what matters. Open the app and start writing, with no account or internet connection. A little room to think: • Write notes with automatic local saving. • Organize with folders, tags and pinned notes. • Search titles, content and tags. • Use Markdown preview and interactive checklists. • Archive notes or move them to Trash and restore them later. • Export a note as Markdown or back up your full notebook. • Import text, Markdown and notebook backups through Files. Your thoughts, yours alone: • No account, ads, analytics or tracking in the app. • Notes stay on your device and are not sent to the developer's server. • Add optional password encryption for your notebook and full backups. • Your password is not stored and cannot be recovered if lost. Thought Meadow is free and open source under the MIT license. This release has no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Multi-device sync and shared lists are not available yet. Notes are excluded from automatic iPhone backups. Export copies regularly through Files and keep them outside the device: deleting the app may delete local notes. This first release has not yet had an independent security audit.
