Simple Notes Widget is the fastest way to keep your lists where you can see them โ€” on your home screen, your desktop, and every device you own. WIDGET FIRST Put a page of notes right on your iPhone or iPad home screen, or your Mac desktop. Check things off directly in the widget โ€” no need to open the app โ€” and flip between pages with the widget's arrows. PAGES, NOT PILES Organize notes into simple pages: Groceries, To-Do, Trip, Ideas. Reorder with a drag. Rename or add pages anytime. CHECK IT OFF Tap the circle to mark a note done and it gets a clean strikethrough. Completed notes can sink to the bottom automatically. REMINDERS THAT REPEAT Give any note a reminder โ€” one-time, or repeating daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Tapping the notification opens the note. PRIORITIES Flag notes low, normal, or high priority with a colored dot. EVERYWHERE WITH ICLOUD Your notes sync automatically between iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud account. No sign-ups, no accounts โ€” and your notes are never visible to us. SAFETY NET Deleted notes wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so an accidental swipe never costs you a list. Simple Notes Widget is free, with no ads and no tracking.

About

Don't Forget Notes

Read full description

Don't Forget Notes is a simple notepad for the things you want to keep in sight. A shopping list, the keys you need before leaving, or one thing to do today: put a note where you will see it without searching for the app. WRITE AND KEEP IT Notes save automatically as you type. Create several notes and find them with search. No account is needed, and writing, editing and reading notes work offline. READABLE STICKY NOTE WIDGETS Choose the note to display, one of three text sizes, and a white, yellow, gray or black background. Place the widget once. Later edits update that same note in the widget; move it on your screen only when you want a different position. UNDO AN ACCIDENTAL DELETION Restore deleted notes from Trash for 30 days. Widget updates may take time depending on your device and the operating system. NOTES ON THE LOCK SCREEN Add rectangular, circular or inline note widgets to the iPhone or iPad Lock Screen. These small widgets are best for short notes and the first few lines. Choose the position and note in your device's widget editor. YOUR NOTE TEXT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE We do not send note text to our servers or advertising SDKs. A banner appears below the notes list, with no ads in the editor or widgets. The ad SDK may process identifiers, interactions and diagnostic data. Required advertising choices are provided in relevant regions. Anyone looking at your screen may read widget notes. Do not display passwords or other private information. Visibility while locked also follows your device's privacy settings. Uninstalling the app may erase notes. Contact: notes@dotnull.co.jp
