【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.

Stop scattering notes across ten different apps. Collecty is where everything you want to keep ends up: a quick note, a link, a photo, a file, a recording, an event. Tap +, choose what to save, and each thing becomes a card on your board, ready when you need it again. COLLECT ANYTHING Written notes, links, images, PDFs and documents, voice notes, events. Save from other apps with the iOS share sheet: whatever you're reading lands in Collecty without leaving where you are. Tap a saved link to see its preview right away: image, description, tags and colors. FIND IT BY TAG AND BY COLOR AI tags everything you save and reads the colors of your photos, drawings, links and files. With Explore, pick a topic, slide across the rainbow, and your collection lines up by the color you have in mind: that green sofa, that red photo, that recipe you saw weeks ago. INSPIRATION FROM THE WEB From the color or tag you're looking at, find similar photos on the web and save them in one tap, with the photographer's credit. Or run the same search on Pinterest, Instagram, X and TikTok, or look up an image with Google Lens. AN EDITOR THAT KEEPS UP Headings and subheadings, bold and italic, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, tables, images, colors. It saves itself as you type. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Sort things into collections with a name and a color. Pin what matters, and archive what you don't need right now without deleting it. Choose how to see your notes: grid, list or canvas. Select several items at once to move, lock, archive or share them. And search that actually finds things, inside the text of every note. BRING IN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Import your notes from other apps as Markdown or plain text: Notion, Obsidian, Bear and any app that exports .md or .txt. Export whenever you like as PDF, Markdown or text. MADE FOR iOS Liquid Glass design, light and dark themes, iPhone and iPad. Quick to open, easy to use. COLLECTY PRO The Pro plan unlocks: Collecty AI: rewrites, proofreads, summarizes, translates, expands, writes titles and files your notes for you. 100 AI credits a month. Auto-tagging and Explore: AI tags your collection and reads its colors, so you can find anything by topic and by color. At a Glance: tags and colors for any item in one panel, with similar items in your collection, similar photos on the web and Google Lens search. Voice notes: record on the go and turn your voice into text. Locked notes: protect what nobody else should read with Face ID or Touch ID. Drawings: a freehand sketch right inside your note. Shared collections: invite anyone and work together on the same collection. Apple Calendar: your events alongside your notes, and AI that pulls dates and plans out of your text. 250 GB of storage for your attachments, instead of 5 GB. Without Pro, Collecty is fully usable: notes, attachments, collections, archive, search, import and export are all included, with 5 GB of storage. Your subscription renews automatically.
