My Notes & Cards is a notes app for people overwhelmed by other notes apps. The values behind the app is simplicity and structure. The user organizes thoughts into sections, each containing bounded "cards" — discrete, self-contained notes. Section tabs at the top, swipeable cards inside. Intended audience: anyone who has tried other app notes and found the lack of structure overwhelming. The app is intentionally not AI-powered, not cloud-synced, and locally private. Features: 1. Photo on a card (resizable, tap to fullscreen). 2. Doodle on a card (finger or Apple Pencil). 3. Attach a location to a card. 4. Universal keyword search across all sections. 6. Drag to reorder for sections and cards. 7. Native iOS, no web wrapper. 8. Sections you create yourself. 9. Cards inside each section, swipe-able. https://www.myworkingmemory.ai/notecards-terms.html https://www.myworkingmemory.ai/notecards-privacy.html
