ArkNote - Stay Present, Record Every Day It is a note-taking and life-logging app designed around each day. Notes, Todos, reading lists, reflections, and movie reviews no longer need to be scattered across different apps. ArkNote brings them together in a clear daily timeline: write today, continue tomorrow, and rediscover them years later in “Time Rings.” 【Bring Your Records Back to Each Day】 Swipe left or right to switch dates, or use the calendar to quickly look back. Your thoughts, tasks, photos, and everyday moments are naturally organized by time. 【More Than Text Notes】 Add Todos, photos and videos, links, reminders, moods, ratings, tags, and child notes. Use lists, bold text, colors, and covers to give every kind of content the right form. 【Todos No Longer Quietly Expire】 Unfinished items can automatically carry over to today. Recurring tasks can reappear daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule, naturally connecting yesterday, today, and tomorrow. 【Templates Make Repeated Records Easier】 Create templates for reading lists, movie journals, daily reflections, or your own workflows. Customize their icons, colors, and covers to reduce repetitive steps and make it easier to start recording. 【Stay Organized Without the Effort】 Use nested tags to organize different topics, and quickly search titles, text, Todos, links, and tags. Open “Time Rings · On This Day” to rediscover records from the same date in previous years. 【Quick Capture and Sharing】 Use the system Share Extension to quickly import web pages, text, and links into ArkNote. When a record is complete, save or send it through system sharing, as an image, or as a PDF. 【Sync and Backup】 Optionally sync across devices with iCloud. JSON backup, export, and restore are also supported, helping you keep important records safe.
