About

Scribble

Features
Read full description

Scribble is the fastest way to get a thought out of your head. Most to-do apps make you wait — open the app, find the right list, tap a plus, then type. By then the thought's gone and you're back to scribbling on paper. Scribble opens straight to a blank line with the keyboard already up. Type it, hit return, and it's saved. That's the whole app. • Instant capture — the keyboard is up the moment you open it. No menus, no lists to scroll past. • Rapid-fire — hit return to save and keep going. Empty your head in one sitting. • Natural dates — type "call mom friday" or "renew passport in 2 weeks" and Scribble quietly files the date for you. • Hands-free — say "Hey Siri, Scribble" on your iPhone or Apple Watch and just speak. It lands in your list. • Calm by design — pen-blue ink on warm paper. Nothing to configure, nothing to nag you. No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your jots stay on your device. Scribble isn't trying to be your project manager. It's the napkin that's always in your pocket — just faster.
