Keep the to-dos and notes you do not want to forget right where you can see them. StickySort is a colorful sticky note app for the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and Dynamic Island. Capture tasks, shopping lists, plans, and ideas as individual notes, then check or sort them without losing context. Use a Lock Screen widget for quick access to a note. When you want to see a whole page, start a Live Activity from the page menu. It can display one page at a time for up to 8 hours. On supported iPhones, expand Dynamic Island to view the notes and complete checklist items. On the Home Screen, choose Page View, Pinned Note, Quick Add, Unsorted Count, Sort Reminder, or Checklist. Lock Screen widgets and controls keep important notes and actions close. Write first, organize later. Swipe notes left or right using your own rules, such as “Now / Later” or “Important / Let Go”. Use text notes, checklists, and links; customize colors, backgrounds, and fonts; organize with notebooks and pages; and back up with iCloud. Drawings, photos, flashcards, extra sorting axes, and expanded pages are among the advanced features in StickySort PRO. Premium features are available via App Store auto-renewable subscriptions or a lifetime one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your device Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. The lifetime purchase does not renew and does not create future recurring charges. Terms of Use: https://stickysort.pages.dev/terms
Panoo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Panoo turns your notes into something you actually want to look at: colorful paper notes, pinned to a warm cork board. Write a note, choose its paper, its pattern and its pin, then drag it anywhere on the board. It looks like the board above your desk, and that is exactly the point. Notes you can see are notes you remember. A REAL WIDGET, NOT A SCREENSHOT You choose which note goes on your Home Screen. Add several widgets and give each one a different note. Edit the note and the widget updates itself. Small, medium and large on iPhone, plus an extra large size on iPad. IT SYNCS BETWEEN YOUR DEVICES Turn on iCloud sync and your notes and boards move between iPhone and iPad on their own. There is no server of ours in between: the data sits in your own iCloud storage. Leave it off and Panoo keeps working completely offline. YOU BUILD THE BOARD • 7 frame designs: plain wood, classic moulding, rope, aluminium, carved and more • 16 frame colors and two corner shapes, so hundreds of combinations • 15 paper patterns: plain, lined, grid, stripes, zigzag, hearts, stars • 12 pins: classic thumbtacks, glass beads, flowers, stars, even a little cat • 9 color palettes for your paper • 4 fonts, including handwriting • Light and dark theme, both free MORE THAN A PRETTY BOARD • Checklists: ticked items get a line through them, visible right on the board • Mark a finished note as done and spot it on the board at a glance • Reminders: a notification at the exact time you choose • Several boards: keep work, home and shopping apart • Pinch a note to resize it, twist it to any angle • Share any note as an image • Landscape on iPhone, and the whole app rotates on iPad BUILT FOR • Anyone who keeps paper sticky notes on a desk • People who live off shopping lists and to-do lists • Students and workers who want class, meeting and idea notes in plain sight • Anyone who wants a Home Screen worth looking at YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS No account. No sign-up. No ads, not one, in any form. Panoo never sends your notes to a server of ours. With iCloud sync on, the data only goes to the iCloud storage of your own Apple Account. FREE AND PREMIUM Panoo is free to use, and the free version is not crippled: unlimited notes, unlimited boards, unlimited reminders, iCloud sync, light and dark theme, 5 paper patterns, 3 pins, 3 frame designs, 4 frame colors, 2 palettes, 2 fonts and one widget note. Panoo Premium unlocks the rest: every pattern, pin, frame design and frame color, every palette and font, and as many widget notes as you want. Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Pay once and it stays yours; restore it any time on any device signed in to the same Apple Account.
