Notepad – Private Notes is a plain yellow legal pad for your iPhone. Open it, write the thought down, and get on with your day. YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR PHONE • No account, no sign-up, no email. • No internet: the app never sends your notes anywhere. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. WRITE IT DOWN FAST • Tap + and start typing: a new note opens with the keyboard up. • Notes save as you type. There's no Save button to forget. • Ruled legal-pad lines, or a plain page if you prefer. • Turn a note into a list, or a list back into a note. SHOP LISTS • Tick things off and they drop to the bottom. • Return adds the next item; Backspace on an empty one removes it. • Drag items to put them in order. • An untitled list takes its name from the first thing you add. FIND THINGS AGAIN • Search every note and list. • A calendar shows what you wrote on each day. • Deleted notes wait in the Trash Can until you restore them or delete them for good. Dark mode included. Made by Sable Creek Software.
