About

Myorb

Features
Read full description

Myorb is a gentle, visual space for ideas, feelings, reminders, and the thoughts you do not want to lose. Instead of forcing everything into a list, Myorb turns each note into something you can see, move, and revisit. A CANVAS THAT BREATHES Turn words into bubbles, clouds, electric sheep, or hearts. Drag them around, let them meet, and keep each thought in its own shape and color. BUBBLES OR CARDS Stay playful in the freeform bubble canvas, or switch to a calm card view when you want more structure. Cards adapt to their content while preserving the character of the original thought. ORGANIZE WITHOUT PRESSURE Tidy scattered thoughts with one tap. Archive what you do not need right now, then view or restore it whenever you like. Double-tap a bubble or card to change its color. MAKE THE SPACE YOURS Choose between Clear and Dreamy visual styles, select a soft background color, or use a photo from your library. Stars and subtle motion make Myorb feel like a small universe of your own. LOCAL FIRST, OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC Your notes are stored on your device by default. Only when you explicitly enable iCloud in Settings does Myorb sync through your private iCloud account across supported iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. You can turn sync off at any time. Myorb has no ads and requires no Myorb account. Use Myorb for sudden ideas, journal fragments, gentle reminders, moods, and anything that deserves a little room to breathe.
