NoteCraft

NoteCraft is where your ideas feel at home. Capture a fleeting thought, draft a long read, plan your week or keep a journal β and watch it become something clean, organized and truly yours. WRITE BEAUTIFULLY A calm, focused editor with real power under the hood. Select any text to make it bold, italic or strikethrough; add headings, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists you can tick off, quotes, code blocks, tables, links and images. Markdown lovers feel instantly at home β everyone else just taps the toolbar. A WRITING PARTNER, BUILT IN Stuck on a line? Let the built-in AI step in. Polish your wording, expand a rough note or trim a long one, fix grammar, shift the tone, continue where you left off, pull out the key points, or turn a paragraph into a clean to-do list β all without leaving the page. ORGANIZED, EFFORTLESSLY Give notes a splash of color, pin the ones that matter to the top, and star your favorites for quick reach. Sort everything with colorful tags, switch between a grid and a list, and find anything in a heartbeat β search your whole library or hunt for a word inside a single note. Archive what's done, and a trash holds deleted notes in case you change your mind. NEVER LOSE A WORD Your work is saved as you type, and version history quietly keeps your earlier drafts, so you can look back or restore one anytime. Switch on cloud backup to keep everything safe and in sync across your devices β start on one, finish on another. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS Lock the app behind your face, fingerprint or passcode, so a quick glance never opens your notebook. Your writing stays private and entirely in your hands. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Send a note as plain text, export a clean PDF, or hand off a Markdown file β whatever the moment needs. Open NoteCraft and start with a single line. Everything else has room to grow. Subscription terms: NoteCraft offers an optional auto-renewing subscription. The price and billing period are shown in the app before you confirm. It renews automatically for the same period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime from your app store account. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://getflutterapp.web.app/notecraft/privacy.html
