A BLOCK FOR EVERYTHING Retro Notes goes beyond plain text. Each note is built from blocks you mix and match: • Text — Write with customizable per-note fonts.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Use the Share Extension to send text, links, images, and checklists from Browser, Mail, Messages, or any app directly into Retro Notes. Content is automatically parsed into the right blocks — URLs become link blocks, bullet points become tasks, and images get their own photo blocks. No copy-pasting needed. RETRO THEMES THAT FEEL JUST RIGHT Customize your experience with handcrafted themes that give your notes real personality. Switch between classic, dark, and colorful palettes — every element from the toolbar to the blocks adapts to your chosen theme.

Lent it and forgot? You lent a friend your book, your drill, or 20 euros — and now you can't quite remember who has what, when it's due, or whether you've already got it back? LoanedOut helps you keep track — without those awkward follow-up questions. Money or object, lent or borrowed: LoanedOut keeps everything in one clear place. ▸ HOME SCREEN — REDESIGNED Your loans are now grouped by status: Overdue at the top (red), Due this week (yellow), everything else Active (green) — you see at once what needs attention. New on top: search and filter icons right in the title bar (e.g. "money only", "overdue only"), direction filter with live counts, new loan via FAB bottom right, compact cards with avatar and days shown big on the right. ▸ INVENTORY FOR YOUR ITEMS Add your drill, camping tent or favourite book once — then link them to any loan with a tap. With photo, description, and a colour indicator that immediately shows whether an item is currently available or lent out. ▸ STATISTICS WITH FOUR TABS • General: counts, money totals, average loan duration • Items: most-loaned items, what's currently out, longest loan duration per item, availability overview • People: top contacts, punctuality per person (avg days late + % on time), what they like to borrow • Archive: every returned loan, chronologically ▸ QR HANDOVER WITH CONFIRMATION For both lending and returning, both sides scan a QR code. Whoever scans now sees a confirmation dialog with contact + item/amount first — no more accidentally accepting the wrong loan. ▸ ALL OTHER FEATURES • Condition photos before handover — no arguments on return • Photos survive app updates and are included in the backup • Partial payments for money loans • PayPal repayment with a single tap • WhatsApp reminders in 5 tones (from friendly to firm) • Bill split: divide a restaurant tab across several people • Due date with local push reminder • Contact integration from your phone book • Light, dark and system themes ▸ YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU — AND THE APP KEEPS RUNNING, EVEN IF WE DON'T LoanedOut stores everything exclusively on your device. There is no server your loans, contacts or photos are sent to. No account, no subscription lock-in, no internet needed to work. There's another benefit: we can't "switch off" this app. It doesn't depend on any running server infrastructure — whatever happens to us as a provider, your app and your data keep working. Optionally, back up to iCloud (iOS) or your own Google Drive — so your data stays safe even when you switch devices. ▸ HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the round + button and create a new loan 2. Pick a contact, take condition photos for objects 3. Generate a QR code and share it — the other person scans and confirms 4. On return: let them scan or tap "Mark as returned" ▸ FREE — WITH A FAIR PREMIUM OPTION LoanedOut is and will stay free for up to 5 active loans. Need more? Premium is €0.99 per month — or pay €9.99 once, keep it forever. You can also unlock Premium through your referral code: when a friend installs the app using your code, you both get one free week of Premium. ▸ MULTILINGUAL Available in English, German, Spanish and Portuguese. ▸ FEEDBACK Idea, bug, request? Write to us directly from the app — we read every message. LoanedOut is built by PrettyLights Software. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
