Notenda is your private notebook — for everything you don't put anywhere else. Your notes stay on your device. No account to create, no internet connection needed, no ads: open the app, start writing, that's it. Not just another notes app, and not a classic diary either: Notenda is a personal logbook for what actually matters to you, day after day. DOZENS OF USES - Food diary and meal tracking - Habit, sleep and mood tracking - Health log, symptom and treatment tracking - Care log for an elderly parent, a relative or a child - Reminders and long-running to-dos - Trip planning and travel journal - Pet health and care log - Workouts and fitness goals - Home renovation, project and paperwork log - Reading log, recipes, gift ideas and random thoughts - Job hunting, interviews and career notes - Diary and everyday memories PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your notes never leave your phone. No account, no profiling, no data reselling, no ads. Notenda works fully offline: what you write goes nowhere. WRITE IN ONE MOVE Open the app and write: no dialog, no decision to make before the first letter. Notenda picks the last category you used in that notebook, and you can fix it right after. Nothing to file away later, no inbox piling up — that is the whole anti mental-load principle behind the app. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY - Create as many themed notebooks as you need (travel, health, pets, fitness, projects...) - Sort memos into customizable categories (icon, color) - Reuse templates to go faster - Get writing prompts when you need them - Date each memo when the event happened, even long afterwards A COMPLETE NOTEBOOK - Rich text: bold, italic, bullet lists and checkboxes - Photos taken on the spot or picked from your gallery - File attachments: PDFs, prescriptions, invoices, receipts, records - Built-in document scanner: your phone becomes a scanner - Text recognition from photos: an image becomes editable text - Voice dictation, through your phone keyboard - Instant search across all your notes - Instant capture from the native iOS and Android share sheet - Light or dark theme, interface available in 12 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish) REMINDERS AT THE RIGHT TIME Set a reminder on a memo and let Notenda notify you when the day comes: a check-up to book, a prescription to renew, a follow-up not to forget. You can hide the memo content in the notification, so nothing shows on a locked screen. NO NOISE, NO PRESSURE No feed, no likes, no streaks to keep alive, no notification begging you to come back. Notenda records what you write and gives it back to you, in the order you need it. Nothing is interpreted, scored or analysed: your notes are yours to read. NOTES THAT DELETE THEMSELVES Give a memo an expiry date: it disappears on its own, for good, on the date you picked. Handy for a temporary code, a passing detail, or anything you don't want to keep forever. CUSTOM PDF EXPORT — MADE FOR SHARING Generate a PDF for the exact period you choose, filtering by only the categories you need. Pick the layout that fits: one column, three columns over three days, or seven columns over seven days. Perfect for handing a food diary, a symptom log, or a health record to your doctor, a family member, or a professional — without retyping anything. BACKUP AND SWITCHING PHONES Export your entire notebook as a single archive — notes and attachments included — and restore it on a new device from the very first launch. Your data stays yours, readable and recoverable outside the app. Notenda is your private space to write down everything — the next-generation diary, built for real life. Download Notenda and start your private notebook today.

FieldStack is an offline field workspace for construction plan PDFs. Import the drawings without changing the original files, search every page for a room or sheet in seconds, and build a board of just the sheets a task needs. It is built for job sites with bad or no internet. SEARCH EVERY PAGE Type a room number, sheet title, or any word. FieldStack searches every page of every plan and opens the page right at the match. BUILD THE BOARD Pull the sheets a task needs into one board and arrange them your way. The full PDF stays readable. MARK UP THE PLANS Draw on any page. The markup shows on every board with that page, and the eye shows or hides it. RECORD FIELD STATE Place notes and track Open, In Progress, Blocked, or Done work. Boards, checks, and notes stay in a private layer beside the drawings. NOTEBOOKS Place plan pages, photos, shapes, and symbols side by side, and connect them. SIRI, SEARCH, AND WIDGETS Ask Siri to search FieldStack, find sheets from Home Screen search, and open a board, a plan set, or search from a widget. BRING THE PLANS Import source PDFs without changing the originals in Files. FieldStack does not require an account, a team workspace, or a subscription. Optional tips support continued development and unlock nothing. The reviewed interface supports English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
