NoteLess is a scratch pad for fleeting thoughts. Tap +, a small cream card opens. Type. By default it can't grow past the card — that's the point. If you need more, that's a different card. Pinned cards stay forever. Everything else ages out automatically — after 7 days by default, or 30 days, a year, or never if you prefer. There is nothing to manage. • Bound by default — no scrolling, no growing past one screenful; the limit can be switched off • 7-day TTL on unpinned notes by default, adjustable; pinned cards stick around • Cards due for deletion within a day turn pink with a small clock, and an optional warning tells you before they go • Light Markdown — bold, italic, lists, and tappable checkboxes, rendered live • Long-press a card to pin, copy, or delete • Copy a whole card from the button in the editor, or with ⌘C on a keyboard — plain Markdown, ready to paste • Cream paper, Baskerville, dark mode • iCloud sync across iPhones, iPads, and Macs • The one-card limit, the deletion window and expiry warnings live in the Settings app, under NoteLess • Works with VoiceOver, Voice Control and Larger Text NoteLess is the absence of a notes app. No folders, no tags, no themes, no plugins, no AI. Just a card, bound, that disappears — and a simple search for when you need one back.
