A sudden flash of inspiration, an insight from a book, a phrase that comes to mind on a walk. Or even your child's funny little quotes. Capture those fleeting thoughts instantly, before you lose them while looking for a folder or creating a new note. Once you finish writing, the screen returns to a clean, blank slate, always ready for your next thought. It simply exists as a quiet place to ensure you never let an important note slip away. β–  Basic Features (Free) ・ Instant Capture: The keyboard pops up the moment you open the app. The entry screen is completely ad-free for all users, allowing you to start typing instantly. ・ Reliable Auto-Save: Your typing is recorded constantly.
