Bramble is a quiet inbox for the thoughts you would otherwise lose. Open it and the cursor is already in the editor, so the idea is on the page before it slips away. Everything you jot lands in one place, and anything you never come back to tidies itself away after thirty days. Most notes apps ask you to organize first and write second. Bramble flips that: capture now, decide later. Pin what matters, tag by color, search the rest, and let the archive quietly absorb whatever stopped being useful. Your inbox stays light without you lifting a finger. WHAT YOU GET • Never lose a passing thought: the editor is focused the instant the app opens • An inbox that cleans itself: unpinned notes drift to the Archive after a window you set • Keep the important things forever: pinned notes never expire • Find anything in seconds: full-text search across Inbox and Archive • Group by project, person or theme with color tags and one-tap filters • Nothing vanishes by surprise: a local reminder the day before a note auto-archives PERFECT FOR • Writers and makers who need a scratchpad that never nags • Busy people who jot reminders, then forget which app they used • Anyone whose notes app has become a graveyard of dead lists • Minimalists who want capture without folders, notebooks or setup WHY NOT JUST USE THE BUILT-IN NOTES APP? Built-in notes keep everything forever, so the pile only grows and the important line gets buried under a hundred stale ones. Bramble treats notes like an inbox rather than a filing cabinet: recent thoughts stay in view, pinned ones stay put, and the rest retires on its own. Sort by newest, oldest or longest, see live word and character counts, share a note with a tap, and restore anything from the Archive whenever you change your mind. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every note stays on this iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no analytics tied to your writing. The archive reminders are scheduled on the device and never leave it. FULL ACCESS Bramble is a paid app. A subscription unlocks the full experience: unlimited notes, tags and pins, full-text search, custom auto-archive timing and archive reminders. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are charged to your Apple ID account. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you confirm. Download Bramble, write the first thing on your mind, and let the inbox take care of the rest.

You write in plain text with Markdown, your chapters sit in the sidebar, and everything you need to keep a story together is a few taps away. WRITE • A quiet editor with Markdown you see as you type: bold, italics, headings, quotes and lists • Chapters in a sidebar, with word counts, status and coloured labels • Two chapters side by side, handy for rewriting or comparing • Zen mode, so only your text is left • Find and replace across the whole manuscript • Your work is saved as you write, and after a crash Feather picks up where you left off NOTES ON YOUR TEXT • Notes attached to a sentence or passage, visible without cluttering your text • A checklist for each chapter and a notepad for the whole book • A story bible with characters, places, objects and organisations, with relationships and photos, always one click away from your text PROOFREAD • Spelling and grammar in Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese • A word list for each book; names from your story bible are ignored automatically • The repetition panel finds words that sit too close together, as well as filler words, adverbs and sentences that keep starting the same way SEND YOUR BOOK INTO THE WORLD • Export to Word, EPUB, PDF, Markdown or plain text • Pick a destination: general, Amazon KDP paperback, Amazon KDP Kindle or Apple Books • A PDF that looks like a printed book, with the right trim sizes and margins • Print with a choice of chapters, paper size and title page STAYS YOURS • Your book is an ordinary folder of text files. You can always open it in another app, keep it in iCloud Drive or put it on a backup disk • No account, no subscription and no ads. Feather collects no data • If you like: a small local server (off by default) that lets another app on your own Mac, such as an AI assistant, fetch a chapter and add proofreading notes to it.
