Memo - Quick Notes is a fast, lightweight notepad you can start writing in the moment it opens. No folders, no deep hierarchies. Jot something down, share it, and move on. ■ Add a memo exactly where you want it Spread two fingers apart between two memos and a new memo slides into that spot. Press and hold to reorder, swipe right to pin, swipe left to archive. Organize your list with your fingertips. ■ An editor that gets out of the way - Plain text, headings, and bold - Bulleted, numbered, and checklists - Completed items can move to the bottom automatically (optional) - Return continues a list; an empty line ends it ■ Powerful copy and share - Copy as plain text or with formatting (press and hold to reuse the last format) - Share as text to LINE, Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and more - Share as image: the whole memo rendered as one clean, tall image ■ 20 themes and flexible typography Snow, Linen, Ink, Nocturne, Lagoon, Honey, Ember, Blossom, and more. Choose from San Francisco, Rounded, Serif, or Monospaced, six text sizes, and adjustable line spacing. ■ Feels good to use Subtle sounds and haptic feedback the moment an action lands: checking an item, copying, archiving, adding a memo. Both are kept quiet and can be turned off in Settings. ■ Your list, your way - Group by date (Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days…) - Sort by Date Edited, Date Created, Title, or Manual; newest or oldest first - Instant search - Press and hold the app icon to start a new memo right away ■ Your data stays yours - iCloud sync across devices signed in to the same Apple Account - Export and restore JSON backups - Archived memos can be restored at any time - Your memos are never sent to our own servers ■ Remove Ads (one-time purchase) Every feature is free.
