An app that lets you display notes right on your lock screen. You'll always see them when you pick up your phone, so you'll never forget what matters. "I wrote it down, but..." You made a note, but never looked at it again — and forgot anyway. Sound familiar? This app is for you. LockScreenNotes solves this by displaying your notes right on your lock screen where you can't miss them. ■ Easy to Use Just tap the note on your lock screen to open the app and jot down what's important. Everything auto-saves, so you can close the app right away without worry. Just focus on writing. ■ Manage Todos Without Opening the App Check off your to-do items right from the lock screen — no need to open the app. Whether it's a shopping list or today's tasks, just check things off as you get them done. ■ Over 100 Designs Choose from over 100 designs, all completely free. Pick one that matches your lock screen wallpaper. You can also customize everything yourself — paper color, text color, line styles, and more. ■ Doodle Away It's not just typing — you can handwrite notes too. Scribble freely like you would on a real sticky note. A quick underline might just help you remember better. ■ Add Images You can paste images from your photo library too. Stick a photo of something you want to buy so you don't get the wrong one, or add a picture of your favorite character to make it cute. ■ Fonts to Match Your Mood Choose from lovely fonts for free — handwritten styles that feel like real notes, or clean and simple ones. With multilingual support, you can even pick fonts for languages you're studying, like English or Korean, and make learning fun. ■ Note History That Shows Your Effort Past notes are saved as history, so you can look back and edit anytime. Use as many pages as you like. The history screen also shows your total character count, number of pages, and how many days you've been using the app. It's proof of your effort to never forget what matters. ■ Privacy Protected No one can see your notes. All data is stored locally on your device and is never sent to any server without your permission.

Stop Scrolling!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Take back your feed. Stop Scrolling blocks Reels, Shorts, and algorithmically suggested posts in Safari — leaving only content from people you actually chose to follow. THE PROBLEM Social media wasn't always this way. You followed people you cared about. Then the algorithm arrived: filling your feed with strangers, autoplay videos, and content engineered to keep you hooked. Most blocking apps destroy the whole experience. Stop Scrolling is more precise — it blocks only the unwanted content. WORKS IN SAFARI Stop Scrolling works on youtube.com and instagram.com in Safari — not inside the YouTube and Instagram apps. That's deliberate: the apps are built to keep you hooked, and nothing is allowed to change that. The Stop Scrolling! app helps you make the switch and walks you through the whole setup in about two minutes. WHAT IT BLOCKS • Short-form video (Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) • Suggested posts and ads from accounts you don't follow • The Explore page and Shorts shelves — the parts of your feed designed to trap you, not inform you WHAT IT LEAVES ALONE ON INSTAGRAM • Posts from people you follow • Your own page (you can still post) • Stories and search • Direct messages (optional) WHAT IT LEAVES ALONE ON YOUTUBE • Regular (non-short-form) videos MAKE IT YOURS Pick your own blocking message and colors. Prefer to keep shared posts in your DMs visible? One toggle. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No data collected. No analytics. Everything runs on your device. The developer has no idea you exist, and that's the point. SIMPLE SETUP Open youtube.com or instagram.com in Safari Tap the page menu → Manage Extensions → turn on Stop Scrolling Tap Always Allow on Every Website That's it — the app shows you every step with pictures. PRICE Stop Scrolling is free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, no account.
