AirNotes is the joy of a sticky note — now on your iPhone. SEND A POST-IT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE Write a short note — type it, or scribble it by hand — pick a friend, and flick it away with a playful tear-to-send gesture. It arrives as a notification and lands on their Home Screen widget and Lock Screen. No app to open, no endless chat thread. They can tap a heart back in a single touch. OR KEEP A NOTE FOR YOURSELF Send a memo to "Me" and it stays in AirNotes — a tidy wall of post-its you can search any time, color-code with paper styles, and even pin to your own Home Screen widget. A grocery list, a reminder, a thought to keep: jot it, and it's there. MADE WITH CARE • Real handwriting, with Apple Pencil or your finger • A sticky-note Home Screen widget (small, medium, large) • Connect with a friend by scanning a QR code — no phone number, no email • Ephemeral notes that self-destruct after reading • Scheduled notes, for a future moment • Read receipts and emoji reactions • Seven paper styles, a mood for every note PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No email. No ads. No third-party trackers. Your contacts stay on your device, and you can delete all your data from inside the app at any time. AirNotes Pro (optional) unlocks colors, the pen, ephemeral & scheduled notes, read receipts, sending to several people, and a custom ID — as a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Little notes — for the people you care about, and for yourself. Terms of use : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
