Skiii Note vs Offhand Typewriter

【The best time to capture an idea is now】 Ideas often appear for only a moment. A sudden thought, an unfinished sentence, an image you want to keep, a voice note, or a highlighted passage from something you are reading may feel incomplete at first, but any of them can become the starting point for something bigger. Ideas need to be captured, but they also need time to settle, develop, and change. In an increasingly noisy world, Skiii Note gives unfinished thoughts a little more room to grow. 【Capture first. Organize later.】 Skiii Note is built around a simple workflow: capture first, organize later. Drop fragmented thoughts into the home screen without stopping to categorize, name, or structure them. When an idea becomes worth developing, turn it into a card and shape it through splitting, combining, reordering, and editing. You can also bring in highlights from Readwise, or share selected text directly from other apps into Skiii Note, so references, excerpts, and your own thoughts can live in the same creative workflow. Skiii Note is a quiet, focused, local-first workspace for ideas and writing. 【Now on iPhone, iPad, and Mac】 Skiii Note is now available across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With iCloud sync enabled, your ideas, cards, and writing can stay in sync across devices. Capture a thought on your iPhone, organize it on iPad, then continue writing on your Mac. Your ideas no longer have to stay on one device. 【Capture quickly without breaking your flow】 - Idea Bubbles Save text, images, links, and everyday fragments as bubbles on the home screen. Bubbles can be edited, pinned, highlighted, turned into to-dos, or organized into cards whenever you are ready. - Voice Recording & Transcription Press and hold the input field to start recording, then turn your voice into text when typing is too slow. - Quick Clipboard Import Hold and swipe up beside the input field to quickly bring in text or images from your clipboard. - Share from Other Apps Select text in another app and share it directly to Skiii Note to instantly create a new idea bubble. 【Let fragments grow into finished work】 - Bubbles Become Building Blocks Each card is made of independent content blocks. Split, combine, reorder, edit, and add images freely, or switch to full-screen mode when you want to focus. - Sketch Mode Tap the number of any block to enter Sketch Mode. Drag, merge, and rearrange blocks to quickly reshape a card and turn scattered fragments into a clearer structure. - Import Reading Highlights Import reading highlights from Readwise. Bring saved passages, highlights, and notes back into your own workspace, then continue developing them alongside your everyday ideas. - Organize Visual Inspiration Use a dedicated image-tagging system to organize visual references. Quickly find, revisit, and rediscover images and inspiration you saved in the past. 【Privacy & Data】 No account required No ads One-time purchase, no subscription Data is stored locally on your devices by default Full backup and restore supported iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac 【Data & Backup Reminder】 Skiii Note stores data locally on your device by default. When iCloud sync is enabled, synced content can continue to be used across your other devices. Deleting the app removes local data from that device, but does not automatically remove content already synced to iCloud. For important content, we still recommend creating regular full backups inside Skiii Note.
