About

CueKit

Features
Read full description

CueKit turns messy content into reviewed next actions. Paste a message, choose a photo with text, capture a screenshot, or dictate a quick note, then review what should happen next. Instead of replacing Calendar, Reminders, Mail, Notes, or Share Sheet, CueKit acts as a safe routing hub. It prepares editable drafts so you stay in control before anything is created. What CueKit helps you do: - Find events, deadlines, follow-ups, replies, notes, and shareable summaries from text or images. - Review and edit suggested actions before saving or sending. - Route next steps to Calendar, Reminders, Mail, Notes, Clipboard, or Share Sheet. - Choose a focus: Auto, Plan, Remind, Reply, Save Note, or Share. - Paste copied text, take a photo, choose images, or use voice input. - Use App Shortcuts to send clipboard or shared text into an editable review. CueKit is built for devices that support Apple Intelligence. It requires iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence enabled. CueKit is designed for privacy and control: your content is prepared for review first, and you confirm before creating calendar events, reminders, replies, notes, or shared content.

Some notes are short. Others grow into chapters, plans and running logs you scroll past a hundred times. FoldNotes lets you fold the finished parts away, so a long note stays as small as the part you are actually working on. Every note is a plain Markdown file. No database, no proprietary format, no export step. Your notes sit in iCloud Drive or on your device, and any other app can open them, today or in ten years. It is also a real iOS app, written in Swift. Not a web page in a wrapper. It opens instantly, works offline, handles a hardware keyboard properly, and does not sit in the background eating your battery. FOLD ANYTHING • Collapse any heading or list item and everything beneath it folds away • Hoist a section to work on it alone, with everything else out of sight • Task counts stay on the folded heading, so you can see what is left without unfolding WRITTEN FOR MARKDOWN • Live styling as you type — headings, lists, quotes, code, links • Six heading levels, and GFM tables with a real table editor • Code blocks with syntax highlighting • Wiki-links [[like this]], with previews and automatic backlinks • Nested tags TASKS WHERE YOU WROTE THEM • Four states: to do, in progress, done and cancelled • Due dates and priorities written inline, in plain text • Assign them to a project and add context and comments • Counts roll up to the section above them BUILT FOR IPAD • Library, notes and editor side by side • Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout • An inspector with outline, tasks, references, properties and a note graph • Scan printed text straight into a note with the camera FIND ANYTHING • Search every note, including regular expressions • Saved queries and database views across your whole collection • Daily notes with a calendar COMING FROM ANOTHER APP • Import from Bear or Obsidian in a tap • Or simply point FoldNotes at the Markdown files you already have MAKE IT YOURS • Light and dark themes, including Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin • Choose your body, heading and code fonts • Paragraph focus, sentence focus and typewriter scrolling Folding is not a formatting trick. A long document asks you to hold every section in your head at once; folding lets you put the finished ones down. That is the whole idea, and everything else here is built around it. Your notes will outlive this app, and every app like it. That is rather the point.
