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. Choose from 15 beautiful typefaces including Typewriter, Georgia, Baskerville, Futura, and more. • Tasks — Interactive checklists to track your to-dos right inside your notes. • Photos & Videos — Capture memories with images and video clips. Trim videos before adding them. • Voice Memos — Record audio notes when typing isn't an option. • Locations — Pin places to your notes with interactive maps. • URLs — Save and preview web links with one tap. • Scanner — Scan documents directly into your notes using your camera. • PDF — Attach and view documents natively. • Countdown — Set visual countdown timers for events, deadlines, and milestones. • Music — Search and embed your favorite tracks from a massive catalog. • Movies — Log films with posters, ratings, runtime, and director info. • Books — Track your reading with covers, authors, and page counts. • Flights — Look up real flights with route maps, terminals, aircraft details, and live status. 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. WIDGET SUPPORT Pin your most important note to a home screen widget for instant access. See your content at a glance without even opening the app. TIME CAPSULE Seal a note and lock it until a future date — a week, a month, or a year from now. When the time comes, it unlocks automatically. Write letters to your future self, save birthday messages, or preserve memories for later. PRIVACY FIRST Your notes stay on your device.

TIMER AND STOPWATCH Set hours, minutes and seconds for a countdown. Pause, resume or reset it. Track elapsed time and laps with the stopwatch. Timing is preserved when you close the panel. Timer notifications require permission; delivery and sound depend on your system settings. A SMALL THOUGHT EACH DAY Discover 60 original short thoughts. Your daily thought stays the same throughout the day, and the full collection is used before a thought repeats. 39 LANGUAGES Change the app language in settings. Choose the clock’s numeral style independently of the interface language. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION Eligible new subscribers get a 3-day free trial, followed by an annual subscription. Renews automatically unless cancelled. Previous one-time full-version purchases remain valid. Your local price is shown before purchase. Restore previous purchases at any time. Your notes are not deleted when access expires. GOOD TO KNOW The full-screen clock works while the app is open. It does not replace the system lock screen or launch itself as a screensaver. Clock chimes work while the app is open and are not an alarm service. The iPhone and iPad widget uses 24-hour time; the system controls its refresh schedule. You can enable iCloud sync in settings. Notes, planner pages, background photo and appearance preferences sync across devices using the same Apple Account. Offline changes stay on your device; sync runs while the app is open.
