You will not remember which drawer the spare key is in. Or the paint color in the hallway, or your sister's ring size, or which vet the cat goes to. LookyHere is a small box for the things future you will want to find. WRITE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT Type into the search field at the bottom of Home, then tap Save This Note. "Air filters are in the laundry room" becomes a page called Air filters, filed under the laundry room, with no form to fill in. Start with someone's name and the button offers to add it to their page instead. "John wants a Lego set" goes straight onto John's page. Later, search the same way. Ask where the air filters are and the answer comes back at the top of the results, pulled from your own note. WHAT GOES IN THE BOX • Items: where things live, what you lent out, model and serial numbers • People: birthdays, gift ideas, favorite things, the details you keep meaning to write down • Pets: vet, microchip, the things you would need in a hurry • Places: saved spots on a map, with your own notes attached WHAT IT DOES • Reminders that repeat, with real notifications, and a Coming Up view of everything ahead • Birthdays that tell you how old someone is turning • Checklists on any item, with a widget that shows the list you pick • Words in your photos become searchable, so you can find a serial number you never typed • At a Glance keeps the facts that matter about a person or pet at the top of their page • When two notes disagree, LookyHere asks which one is current, and never deletes a note to settle it • Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight, and the Share Sheet • Automatic backups you can restore, or hand to another device • iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, with a full set of keyboard shortcuts on iPad YOUR FILES STAY YOURS Every page is a plain text file (Markdown) in your own iCloud Drive, or on this device when iCloud Drive is off. Browse them in the Files app, read them in any Markdown app, and take them with you if you ever stop using this app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There is no LookyHere account and no LookyHere server. No analytics, no trackers, no ads. Any smart features run on your device, and one switch in Settings turns all of them off. Want Home to show only names when someone glances at your phone? Turn off note previews. Write it down now. Find it later. LookyHere requires iOS 27.
MinDrop

MinDrop is a board of sticky notes for everything you need to remember. Write it down in a second, find it later, and get a nudge when it matters. It's free, with no ads. MinDrop is in early access, so sign-ups are by invite for now. You can request one from the sign-in screen or at mindrop.app. CAPTURE IT WHEREVER YOU ARE • Type a drop on the board, or tap a Home Screen widget. • Forward an email or send a text to MinDrop and it lands on your board. • Share a link, photo or file from any app through the share sheet. • Set the Action Button to Tell Mia, hold it, and say what you need. NOTES, LISTS AND REMINDERS Every drop is one of three things. A note keeps a thought. A list has checkboxes and is done when every box is ticked. A reminder has a time, can repeat, and notifies you when it's due. Color tags, pins and search keep the board tidy, and reminders sync both ways with Apple Reminders. TODAY Today puts your reminders and your calendar events on one timeline, so you can see the whole day at a glance. WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITIES AND APPLE WATCH Widgets keep your next reminders on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. When a reminder is coming up, a Live Activity shows it on the Lock Screen. On Apple Watch you can record a meeting with MeetDrop right from your wrist. EARLY ACCESS: MIA AND MEETDROP Mia is an assistant for your board. Say or type "milk, eggs and bread, and remind me Friday at 6 to call Mom" and she makes the list and the reminder for you. MeetDrop takes notes in your meetings. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch and you get a summary, decisions and suggested tasks you can add to your board. The audio is deleted once the transcript is ready. During early access we turn these on per account, at no charge. TWO ACCOUNTS Keep work and personal apart. Add a second account and switch between them from your profile picture. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your drops are encrypted for your account. There are no ads and no tracking, and we don't sell your data. You can lock the app with Face ID and delete your account from Settings at any time. Questions or ideas: support@mindrop.app
