Idea Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Every great idea gives you about thirty seconds before it slips away. Idea Journal is built for that moment: open, jot, done — your spark is safe, filed, and waiting for the day you are ready to build it. Most notes apps make you fight folders and formatting when all you needed was to get the thought out of your head. Idea Journal keeps capture down to one tap, then does the organizing part properly: color-coded categories, tags, priorities, and reminders that bring the right idea back at the right time. WHAT YOU GET • A thought that hits you in the checkout line, saved before you reach the register • Ten color-coded categories out of the box — plus your own, so Business, Trips, and Gifts never mix • A reminder that resurfaces Tuesday's spark exactly when you can finally act on it • Sub-tasks that turn a vague idea into three concrete next steps with a progress bar • Charts that reveal your most productive day and which category your mind keeps returning to • A CSV export of everything you have ever captured — your ideas are yours to take anywhere PERFECT FOR • Writers collecting plots, lines, and characters before they evaporate • Founders and side-hustlers triaging what to build next by priority • Makers and hobbyists keeping every project idea out of their head and in one place • Anyone tired of losing brilliant 2 a.m. thoughts to a pile of unsorted notes WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP? A general notes app is where ideas go to be buried under grocery lists. Idea Journal separates capturing from organizing: jotting takes one tap, and every entry lands with a category, a priority, and an optional reminder — so nothing gets buried, and revisiting feels like browsing, not excavating. Favorites, pins, and archive keep the list honest as it grows. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your ideas are stored on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ideas sitting on someone else's server. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) Idea Journal requires a subscription or one-time purchase: Weekly, Yearly, or Lifetime. Full access unlocks unlimited ideas, custom categories, and the complete statistics dashboard — summary cards, category and priority charts, your most productive day, and a tag cloud of what you think about most. Your next big idea will show up unannounced. Get Idea Journal now so it has somewhere to land.

We Both is a household management app for everyone you live with: partners, roommates and families. The money, the bills, the chores, the shopping list and the calendar, shared in one app. Add something once and everyone in the house sees it. No bank login needed. ONE DAY, ONE SCREEN Open it and see today: what is on the calendar, what is due, what needs doing. The week and the month are one tap away. ONE CALENDAR FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE Everyone's days in one place: yours, theirs and the calendar you share. Connect Google or Outlook, or use the calendars already on your iPhone, then choose what the house sees. Share a calendar in full, show only when you are busy, or keep it to yourself. Share or hide a single event, just this once or every time it repeats. What you keep private, the house never sees. Chores and bills can land in a calendar of their own, or in the one you share. ONE SHOPPING LIST Anyone adds, anyone ticks it off, and it shows who added what. In the shop you tick things off one-handed, and the trip becomes one expense when you are done. Make as many lists as you like. With Premium, the list sorts itself into the aisles of your supermarket. CHORES THAT COME BACK ON THEIR OWN Who does what, and when. Repeating chores return by themselves, and chores with no date wait on a list without ever turning overdue. No points, no streaks, no scoreboard. BILLS THAT KNOW THEIR DATES Rent, power, the streaming stack. Each bill knows when it is due, who pays it, and reminds you before the day. THE MONEY, WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET Log what comes in and what goes out, by category and by how it was paid, with no limit on entries. Set monthly limits and see what is left to spend each day. Log it by hand, or in the US, connect your bank with Premium. LOG IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Siri, the Action Button, a widget and a double tap on the back of the phone log an expense in seconds. SAY IT (PREMIUM) Hold the mic and talk: a purchase, a list item, a chore, an event. It is written down for the whole house. Ask "what did we spend on groceries this month?" and get the answer. Every house gets one free try. BUILT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE Two of you or the whole house. Everyone sees the same lists, the same calendar and the same numbers. Invite someone with a link, a QR code or an eight-character code. Everyone has the same rights. SIGNING IN IS SIMPLE Sign in with your email and a password, or with Apple. FREE, AND PREMIUM FOR THE HOUSEHOLD Free, forever: the ledger, bills and budgets, the shared calendar and chores, shopping lists and notes, widgets, the shopping trip on the Lock Screen, chores and bills in your calendar, and export. One Premium subscription per household adds the house you can talk to, bills and subscriptions found in your email, receipts read from a photo, the shopping list in aisle order, birthdays remembered, trips with flights and hotels by day, chores that fit around your calendar, your own tabs and categories, and your bank logging every charge, in the US. Whoever pays, the whole house gets it. Premium is offered monthly or quarterly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
