NewPractice
Read full descriptionHide full description
[Introduction] “I've absorbed so much input but haven't put it into practice...” “I want to manage all my books, videos, audio, etc. in one place to cut down on extra hassle.” Ever thought about that? NewPractice is a note-taking app designed to prevent input from ending with “just reading.” Its purpose is to connect all your learning and insights—from books, movies, music, videos, articles, and more—to action. [Overview] We believe simply recording your input is sufficient. However, reviewing and outputting your notes further helps maintain motivation. NewPractice lets you freely record any input, regardless of genre. Designed with simplicity and continuity in mind, it allows you to keep only what you need and review at your own pace. [Features] ・Record anything Register inputs like books, movies, music, videos, articles, etc., regardless of format. ・Entry-level hiding Hide entries you'd rather not show, like certain works or records. Re-display them only when you want to review them. ・“Later” management Register works you want to watch or read later. ・Easy Registration via Search Instantly register books, movies, music, etc., by searching—no tedious input required. ・Calendar View Review your inputs chronologically—when and what you consumed. ・Graph View Visualize your input volume by category and grasp trends. ・No Intrusive Ads The developer personally dislikes ads that constantly appear or force interruptions. Therefore, ads that distract you won't be implemented. [Summary] No unnecessary ads. It's the minimal setup for thinking, reflecting, and taking action. Turn input into practice. NewPractice is the place for that. Terms of Use (EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Keep the to-dos and notes you do not want to forget right where you can see them. StickySort is a colorful sticky note app for the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and Dynamic Island. Capture tasks, shopping lists, plans, and ideas as individual notes, then check or sort them without losing context. Use a Lock Screen widget for quick access to a note. When you want to see a whole page, start a Live Activity from the page menu. It can display one page at a time for up to 8 hours. On supported iPhones, expand Dynamic Island to view the notes and complete checklist items. On the Home Screen, choose Page View, Pinned Note, Quick Add, Unsorted Count, Sort Reminder, or Checklist. Lock Screen widgets and controls keep important notes and actions close. Write first, organize later. Swipe notes left or right using your own rules, such as “Now / Later” or “Important / Let Go”. Use text notes, checklists, and links; customize colors, backgrounds, and fonts; organize with notebooks and pages; and back up with iCloud. Drawings, photos, flashcards, extra sorting axes, and expanded pages are among the advanced features in StickySort PRO. Premium features are available via App Store auto-renewable subscriptions or a lifetime one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your device Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
