About

Thought Meadow

Read full description

Some ideas just need a quiet place. Thought Meadow is a simple, native notes app for iPhone, in English and Arabic. Capture a thought, plan your day, and keep what matters. Open the app and start writing, with no account or internet connection. A little room to think: • Write notes with automatic local saving. • Organize with folders, tags and pinned notes. • Search titles, content and tags. • Use Markdown preview and interactive checklists. • Archive notes or move them to Trash and restore them later. • Export a note as Markdown or back up your full notebook. • Import text, Markdown and notebook backups through Files. Your thoughts, yours alone: • The local notebook needs no account. The app has no ads, analytics or tracking. • Notes stay on your device and are not sent to the developer's server. • Add optional password encryption for your notebook and full backups. • Your password is not stored and cannot be recovered if lost. The local notebook is free and open source under the MIT license. Optional Thought Meadow Plus subscription: • Keep a separate iCloud notebook on your devices signed into the same iCloud account. • Invite people to shared checklists. Invited participants can join for free. • Choose an unencrypted local note to copy to iCloud, or save an iCloud item as a local copy. • The workspace requires iCloud and an internet connection. Open or refresh it to fetch the latest saved items. The local password lock applies to the local notebook. Eligible subscribers receive a 7-day free trial, then the subscription renews automatically at US $5.00/month unless canceled. Prices vary by country. Apple displays your local price before confirmation. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://alawyadnan.github.io/thought-meadow/privacy.html Notes are excluded from automatic iPhone backups. Export copies regularly through Files and keep them outside the device: deleting the app may delete local notes. This first release has not yet had an independent security audit.
