A notes app for your phone, made for people who use a paper notebook. Ever think of something you want to write down, but can't get your notebook out? You're standing on a train, walking somewhere, or the notebook is at the bottom of your bag. In those moments, type a short note on your phone. The next time you open your notebook, copy the note onto paper. This app is not a replacement for your notebook. Notes aren't meant to be kept here. They stay only until you write them on paper. JUST THREE SIMPLE STEPS: 1. Jot down a thought You can tag a note as work or personal to see its category at a glance. 2. A reminder at the times you set Up to three a day, at any times you choose. On days with nothing left to write, no reminder is sent. 3. Writing time, one at a time Open your notebook, then tap "Time to write." Notes appear one by one, large and clear. Written it down? "Written by hand." Decided not to? "Let this one go." Not now? "Later." NOTHING DISAPPEARS ON ITS OWN: Notes you have written and notes you let go both remain in History. You can bring any of them back to the list at any time. Only you can delete one for good, after a confirmation. WIDGET: Keep the number of notes still waiting on your Home Screen. Lock Screen widgets are supported too. ABOUT THIS APP: Free. No in-app purchases. No advertising. No account to create. What you type never reaches our servers.
