Some thoughts aren't meant to last forever. Plato is a calm, simple notes app where every note has a timer. Write something down, choose how long it should live, and let it go. When the time runs out, the note is gone for good. DISAPPEARING NOTES Every note gets a timer: 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days. When it reaches zero, the note is deleted forever. A RING THAT DRAINS Each note shows a countdown ring that empties as its time runs out, shifting from warm sienna to orange to red near the end. The text fades a little as the note gets older, so you always know what's about to vanish. SWIPE TO BURN Done with a note early? Swipe it to burn it, or burn it from the note itself. Once it's gone, it can't be recovered. LIGHT, NATIVE DESIGN Plato looks and feels like it belongs on your iPhone and iPad: clean lists, system fonts and SF Symbols, with a single warm accent taken from the icon – Plato's wax tablet of memory. Choose Light, Dark or System in Settings. YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no cloud, no sync and no tracking. Plato works offline, and your notes never leave your device. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL TIP JAR Plato is free with no ads. If it's useful to you, an optional Tip Jar in Settings lets you support its development – tips unlock nothing and are not tax-deductible.
