About

Subnotes

Read full description

Subnotes is a plain-text notes and to-do list app for iPhone, iPad & Mac. Any line you write can become a task. โ€ข Thoughts and tasks, side by side โ€” jot things down like a paper notebook, then switch views to see everything organized by priority, automatically. โ€ข Editing a task is just editing text โ€ข Recurring tasks and due dates โ€ข Link notes together to connect related thinking โ€ข Templates for weekly reviews, meeting notes, habit tracking, trip planning, and more. Note-taking and task planning are deeply personal โ€” so Subnotes stores everything as plain text, not a proprietary format. Copy, paste, or export anytime. It also syncs privately over your own iCloud account: no signup, no account creation, no servers but Apple's. For iPhone, iPad, and Mac
