About

Quick Notes

Bramble is a quiet inbox for the thoughts you would otherwise lose. Open it and the cursor is already in the editor, so the idea is on the page before it slips away. Everything you jot lands in one place, and anything you never come back to tidies itself away after thirty days. Most notes apps ask you to organize first and write second. Bramble flips that: capture now, decide later. Pin what matters, tag by color, search the rest, and let the archive quietly absorb whatever stopped being useful. Your inbox stays light without you lifting a finger. WHAT YOU GET • Never lose a passing thought: the editor is focused the instant the app opens • An inbox that cleans itself: unpinned notes drift to the Archive after a window you set • Keep the important things forever: pinned notes never expire • Find anything in seconds: full-text search across Inbox and Archive • Group by project, person or theme with color tags and one-tap filters • Nothing vanishes by surprise: a local reminder the day before a note auto-archives PERFECT FOR • Writers and makers who need a scratchpad that never nags • Busy people who jot reminders, then forget which app they used • Anyone whose notes app has become a graveyard of dead lists • Minimalists who want capture without folders, notebooks or setup WHY NOT JUST USE THE BUILT-IN NOTES APP? Built-in notes keep everything forever, so the pile only grows and the important line gets buried under a hundred stale ones. Bramble treats notes like an inbox rather than a filing cabinet: recent thoughts stay in view, pinned ones stay put, and the rest retires on its own. Sort by newest, oldest or longest, see live word and character counts, share a note with a tap, and restore anything from the Archive whenever you change your mind. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every note stays on this iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no analytics tied to your writing. The archive reminders are scheduled on the device and never leave it. FULL ACCESS Bramble is a paid app. A subscription unlocks the full experience: unlimited notes, tags and pins, full-text search, custom auto-archive timing and archive reminders. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are charged to your Apple ID account. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you confirm. Download Bramble, write the first thing on your mind, and let the inbox take care of the rest.
