β—† Organize notes in a "hierarchy" β€” and everything becomes clearer With most note-taking apps, as information piles up, it becomes hard to see how things are connected.

Organize like "Main Topic β†’ Subtopic β†’ Details." No limit on how deep you can go.

Some thoughts aren't meant to last forever β€” and that's beautiful. UmtilNote reimagines note-taking as an act of mindfulness. Your thoughts appear as colorful bubbles on an infinite canvas, gently aging and fading until they quietly disappear. It's not about holding on β€” it's about being present with what matters now. CREATE WITH INTENTION Tap anywhere on the canvas to breathe life into a new bubble. Each thought finds its own space, its own color, its own moment in time. Watch as your ideas take shape β€” larger thoughts naturally grow into bigger bubbles. EMBRACE IMPERMANENCE Every bubble has a lifespan. Watch them gracefully age through five visual stages β€” from vibrant and fresh to soft and fading β€” before they pop with a satisfying animation. With Pro, choose lifespans from 1 hour to 7 days. AN INFINITE CANVAS FOR YOUR MIND Pan freely across a beautiful grid canvas. Your thoughts exist in space, not in lists. Organize intuitively, explore freely, and always find your center with a single tap. ARCHIVE WHAT MATTERS Not every thought should fade. Save your most meaningful bubbles to the archive before they disappear. Export them as Markdown when you're ready to carry them forward. THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED β€’ 12 beautiful bubble colors to match your mood β€’ Light and dark themes with elegant glassmorphic design β€’ Gentle haptics and satisfying pop sounds β€’ Daily recap notifications to reflect on your day β€’ Multiple boards for different spaces of thought (Pro) β€’ Available in 11 languages Let your thoughts breathe. Let them float. Let them go.
