Read full description

Write now, organize later. Fragments is a minimal note-taking app designed to capture your everyday thoughts the exact moment they happen. A sudden flash of inspiration, an insight from a book, a phrase that comes to mind on a walk. Or even your child's funny little quotes. Capture those fleeting thoughts instantly, before you lose them while looking for a folder or creating a new note. Once you finish writing, the screen returns to a clean, blank slate, always ready for your next thought. It simply exists as a quiet place to ensure you never let an important note slip away. β–  Basic Features (Free) ・ Instant Capture: The keyboard pops up the moment you open the app. The entry screen is completely ad-free for all users, allowing you to start typing instantly. ・ Reliable Auto-Save: Your typing is recorded constantly. Even if the app closes unexpectedly, your unfinished notes will never be lost. ・ Simple Timeline & Quick Trash: Notes are stacked chronologically for easy review. In the detail view, you can quickly discard unwanted notes into the Trash and smoothly swipe to the next one. (Save unlimited fragments for free). ・ Folders: Create up to 3 folders to categorize your notes. ・ iCloud Sync: Notes are automatically stored safely in iCloud. Seamlessly carry over your data when changing devices. ・ Studio: A unique workspace where you can bring your saved notes onto the screen and physically arrange them like puzzle pieces to build new texts. β–  Fragments Pro (One-Time Purchase) Unlock full functionality and remove all remaining ads to tailor the tool perfectly to your needs. ・ Completely Ad-Free: All in-app ads (including Library and Studio) are completely removed, providing a perfectly quiet space. ・ Privacy Lock (New): Secure your private thoughts with Face ID / Touch ID.

Create unlimited folders to categorize and sort your accumulated notes by project or purpose. ・ Premium Themes: Unlock 12 additional carefully curated, calming colors, allowing you to customize the entire app from a total of 15 beautiful palettes. ・ Premium App Icons: Personalize your home screen by choosing from a selection of exclusive icon designs. ・ Advanced Export: Easily export your accumulated notes in bulk as .zip, .txt, or .csv files for smooth data integration with your PC or other tools.

About

MOA

Read full description

MOA is a private scrapbook that reads and organizes everything you save. Links you texted yourself, Instagram saves, screenshots in Photos β€” the things you saved but never found again. Drop them into MOA: AI reads the content and writes a title and summary; a recipe becomes a checklist and steps, a poster becomes dates and a place. You can edit any of it, anytime. Key features β€’ Save links and screenshots from the share sheet β€” no need to open the app β€’ AI writes the title, summary, tags and to-dos β€’ Combine several screenshots into one scrap β€’ One search across titles, summaries, full text, notes β€” and text inside screenshots β€’ Checklist and step progress tracking β€’ On-device first, with optional iCloud sync β€’ Manual backup export and restore Your data is stored on your device first. Turn on iCloud sync and it is kept in the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account, so it comes back when you switch phones. Content is sent to a server only at the moment you run AI organizing, and we do not keep the original after processing. Free includes 5 links and 2 screenshots organized by AI each month. Premium raises that to 100. Pricing and trial details are shown on the App Store purchase screen, and you can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings.
