Sheet Notes

Features
Read full description

Sheet Notes: Notes in a Grid Sheet Notes is a flexible workspace for people who find linear documents too restrictive and spreadsheets too rigid. It organizes your ideas into a grid where every cell acts as a Markdown-ready canvas. How it works: * Grid Layout: Move beyond lists. Structure projects and data in a layout that follows your thought process. * Full Markdown: Use rich text, headers, code blocks, and images within any cell. * Seamless Sync: Works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud, with an optional GitHub sync for version control and sync to other platforms like Windows. * Privacy First: Your data stays on your device. It’s fast, works offline, and doesn’t track you. * Customization: Choose from themes like Midnight or Sand, or build your own to suit your workflow. It’s a simple, non-linear way to keep your research, writing, and planning organized without the overhead of a complex database.
