Fire Notes vs LockNotes

Fire Notes is a private notebook for writing, scanning paper, and dictating by voice - with one unusual feature: you can burn a note. Real fire, rendered live on your screen - the paper catches, curls, chars and falls away as ash. When the flame goes out, the note is gone. It's oddly satisfying. It's also the point. WRITE ANYTHING • A fast, beautiful editor with rich text, checklists, headings and highlights • Choose your paper and your handwriting — from clean type to a looping script • Photos, shelves and pinned notes on a board you can rearrange by hand • Everything stays searchable, right up until you let it go LET IT GO • Burn a note in a moment, or hold for the full cinematic ceremony • Blow on the microphone to light the flame — yes, really • Burn-after timers: write something tonight, let it release itself tomorrow • Every burn leaves an ember in Ashes — proof something was released, without the words SCAN YOUR PAPER • Point the camera at a receipt, bill or letter — Fire Notes finds the edges, straightens the page and files it • Every scan is read on your device, so the words inside are searchable. Find a receipt by what it says, not by what you named it • Scans live in their own shelves — Receipts, Bills, Documents — separate from your notes • And when a document has done its job, shred it. The same fire, for paper you're finished with PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your notes and your scans live on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers • Face ID app lock, plus a separate lock for the notes that matter most • No account. No tracking. No ads. ALSO IN THE BOX • Dictate a note out loud with on-device speech recognition • On-device AI to fix, rewrite or reshape what you wrote — nothing is sent away • Export a note as text or PDF when you decide to keep it after all FIRE NOTES+ A one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. It unlocks the document scanner, voice dictation, the AI writing tools and clean, watermark-free exports. Buy it once and it's yours, on every device you sign in with. The notebook itself stays free. Write as much as you like. Burn as much as you like. Write it down. Let it go.

Your notes live on the Lock Screen. You see them every time you pick up your phone — nothing to unlock, no app to open, nothing to forget. You wrote it down and never looked at it again. LockNotes fixes that by putting the note where your eyes already go. ■ Tick off tasks without unlocking Today's to-do list, the groceries, the thing you keep forgetting. Tap it right on the Lock Screen and it's done — the widget updates instantly. ■ Boards and lists for the bigger stuff A trip, a move, a school project. Make a board, add lists and cards, and pin the one that matters to your Lock Screen. Use it as a planner, or as a simple checklist. ■ 150 papers to pick from Paper color, ink color, grid or lines or dots. Pinch through 150 designs until one sits right on top of your wallpaper. ■ Handwrite, draw, doodle Seven pens — pencil, crayon, marker, fountain, watercolor and more. Scribble the way you would on a real sticky note. Drop in doodles and photos from your library as stickers. ■ 34 fonts Handwritten faces that read like a real notebook, and clean ones for when you want it tidy. Latin, Japanese, Korean and more. ■ Write together, live Share a note or a board with a friend using one code. You both write on the same paper and you both watch it change — live, on both Lock Screens. ■ A nudge, if you want one Set a daily reminder and pick the time. Or don't — the note sits there patiently either way. ■ Yours by default Notes stay on your device. Only what you choose to share goes to the cloud, only after you agree, and ending a share deletes it. Also inside: a Home Screen widget, a Live Activity, a diary of everything you have written, and 50+ hand-drawn app icons to match your mood.
