The Raccoon Notebook looks simple and cozy, but behind this minimalism lies a powerful set of features. It is equally well suited for quick notes on the run, and for organizing entire areas of life. Hi! My name is Maxim Kazantsev, I am the developer of this application When I created Raccoon, I wanted to make a notebook that would be useful in a variety of situations. Here are just a few examples of how it can be used. In everyday life — quickly sketch out a shopping list before leaving home — write down an idea or thought before it runs away — save a useful link or note for the future For storing information — create a folder structure for different areas of life — store recipes and quickly find the right one — save screenshots of discount cards and open them in the store in a second For personal projects and memories — create a folder "Photos of the day" and put photos there — keep a diary or travel notes For scheduling and reminders — add birthdays of friends and family — create a shift schedule — set reminders about payments for housing, loans, or other matters And these are just a few examples. In practice, each user finds their own use for the Raccoon. And now — what the app can do. Functions of the Raccoon Notebook: • Notes with formatting support • Task lists and checklists • Nested folders for a convenient structure • Quick search through all notes • widgets for quickly creating notes • Reminders and events • pinning important notes • favorites • work without the Internet • high speed of opening notes • import and export settings and data
