We help you reach what you set out to do. A workout streak, passing an exam, a promotion, your dream β€” write it down and Lumi helps you stay on track. IntentNote is not a place to let notes pile up. It helps you shape passing thoughts, unfinished tasks, and long-postponed goals into one step you can take today. If you have ever saved a note and then wondered what should happen next, IntentNote helps you find the thread again. Log Today's Workout in One Line When you start, pick the goal you care about most. Choose Exercise and your Workout Log is ready to go. Β· Exercise, sets and load in one line β€” set your usual workout once under Tracking Items and every new entry starts with it Β· Add your own fields, like time or distance Β· Save it, celebrate, and share today's workout right away (#workoutdone) Β· Add your photo in the app you share to Β· Lumi checks in at the time you set β€” you pick the tone and how often Β· Start right away, no sign-in needed Start With Questions A blank page should not be the thing that stops you. IntentNote gives each kind of thought a form to grow in. - General Notes: capture ideas before they disappear. - Deadline Tasks: keep dates, progress, and next actions in view. - Life Goals: turn a large direction into concrete steps. - Inspiration: gather the lines, ideas, and references you want to return to. Life Goals are designed around guided questions, so a vague ambition can become something you understand, refine, and begin. Organize With AI Lumi When you need help, Lumi helps you make sense of the note in front of you. - Summarize long notes into the essentials. - Suggest titles and keywords from your writing. - Break large goals into actionable steps. - Point out gaps and possible next actions. - Help you continue when a note has stalled. Lumi does not decide for you. It reads what you have written and helps make the shape clearer, while the final choice stays with you. From Notes To Action Good thoughts disappear easily. Big goals are easy to postpone. IntentNote turns notes from storage into a place where thinking settles, work starts moving, and goals keep their thread. Checkpoints and progress help you see where you are, what has changed, and what to do next. Pick Up Anywhere Start without an account β€” sign up later when you want your notes synced. Write on your phone and continue on another device. Keep writing offline; when you reconnect, your notes sync automatically. A Daily Line Of Inspiration Sometimes one short line can change the direction of a day. IntentNote brings you a daily moment of inspiration, with a home screen widget for today's line. Start a note that does more than collect your thoughts. Let it show the next step. IntentNote. Small notes. Real next steps.

Levity Markdown Notes

Features
Read full description

Levity is a fast Markdown editor for your own plain-text notes, based on a folder in iCloud Drive or on your device. No account, no proprietary database, no separate sync service to set up. Point Levity at a folder and it mirrors every Markdown file inside it, and keeps mirroring as they change. Built for speed on your phone and read-compatible with Obsidian vaults. Levity opens, scrolls, and searches instantly, even in a large vault. It's tuned for mobile from the first line of code. If you already keep an Obsidian vault, Levity reads it as-is: the same files, the same folders, the same frontmatter. Your notes are just text files. They live in your own iCloud Drive or on your device, sync through your own Apple account, and open in any other editor. A live, clean editor: β€’ Formatting appears as you type. The raw Markdown symbols stay out of your way, while your files stay pure Markdown on disk β€’ Headings, bold, italic, task lists, checkboxes, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables you can edit cell by cell β€’ [[Wiki-links]] between notes, with autocomplete β€’ Inline images β€’ A formatting bar, so you never have to hunt for a raw symbol Organize without a database: β€’ Tag your notes and filter by tag β€’ YAML frontmatter β€” add any property you like (status, type, dates, lists) and build filtered views around it β€’ Folders, templates, archive, and trash β€’ Full-text search across every note, instantly Made yours: β€’ Seven themes, plus an automatic day / night mode that follows your surroundings β€’ Adjustable font, size, and spacing β€’ Designed for both iPhone and iPad Levity is focused and supports text, tags, and links; no graph view or plugins, just the fastest way to write and read Markdown on iOS, on top of files you already own. Free to start. One optional yearly subscription unlocks unlimited note creation and editing; reading your notes is never limited. Your privacy, by design: your notes stay in your own iCloud or device storage. Levity Premium is an auto-renewing subscription billed yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
