About

Useless Notes

Features
Read full description

Useless Notes is a creative note-taking app that lets you capture ideas in an infinite, freeform canvas environment. Instead of traditional lists, you can add text notes, links with previews as colorful cards that can be positioned and scattered anywhere on the canvas. The app embraces a playful, casual approach to organizing thoughts—cards appear at random positions and angles, giving your notes a natural, organic feel. You can delete notes with a fun burning animation, filter by different types of content, and search through your notes when you need to find something specific. It's perfect for anyone who wants a more visual and less structured way to capture thoughts, ideas, and inspiration without the constraints of traditional note-taking apps.

Your mental inbox for the day. Catchyt is the one place where your agenda, fleeting ideas, and tasks on hold coexist, without friction, without complexity. Not a task manager. Not a note-taking app. Something in between, and far simpler than both. Three objects. That’s all. AGENDA Your iCal events for the day, synced in real time. See what’s coming, add what’s missing, without leaving the app. CAPTURED A fleeting idea. A link you don’t want to lose. A photo of a receipt. Drop it here before it disappears. Text, links, images. Catchit accepts everything, asks nothing. ON HOLD Not a task you can schedule. Not a note. Just something you need to do, when the budget is right, when someone replies, when you find the time. It stays visible every day until it’s done. Why Catchyt ? Because you’re tired of switching between five apps just to stay on top of your day. Because the perfect productivity system is the one you actually use. Because sometimes you just need to drop it somewhere safe and move on. Catchyt is your digital catch-all tray. It holds the weight so you don’t have to. One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. Yours forever. https://catchytapp.com/privacy.html
