Aura 是一款遵循 Local-First(本地优先)与极简主义美学的纯文本 Markdown 速记工具。它不是一个臃肿的笔记管理库,而是你思维闪现时的数字沙盒。 通过与 Aura macOS 端的完美对齐,iOS 版本让你可以随时随地捕捉灵感,并在多端之间无缝流转。 核心特性: - 统一数据源 (Single Source of Truth):完全基于苹果 iCloud Documents。没有专有数据库,没有第三方服务器,你的笔记永远是一平铺在 iCloud 目录下的纯文本 .md 文件。 - 毫秒级速记:全新安装或应用冷启动时,直接直达新笔记页面并自动弹出键盘,为你省去所有多余的操作,实现即时输入。 - 双向收藏同步:你在 Mac 上固定的重要笔记,在 iPhone 上同样强行置顶。 - 原生性能与极简源码:移动端摒弃了复杂的富文本重度渲染,采用纯原生模式,即使是数万字大文件也能保证丝滑的输入体验。 - 无感自动保存:内置智能防抖保存机制,当你停止输入或退出页面时,内容会自动异步覆写至 iCloud,绝不丢失任何一行灵感。 - 隐私与安全:数据完全属于你。App 没有任何统计埋点,不收集任何个人隐私,完全在苹果沙盒与你个人的 iCloud 空间内运行。 让书写回归纯粹,这就是 Aura。
