Magnet turns your everyday to-dos into little paper magnets on a warm, cozy board β the calm, charming alternative to yet another cold checklist app. Jot something down and it becomes a cute sticky note stuck to your board, complete with washi tape, push-pins, and soft paper textures. Snap a photo and it lands as a framed polaroid β or lift the subject out into a die-cut sticker. Doodle a quick sketch and pin it up. It's your fridge door, in your pocket. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT β’ Notes that feel handmade β every magnet is a warm paper sticker with tape, pins, and gentle shadows. Nothing generic. β’ One line, many magnets β write "buy oranges, water plants, call mom" and Magnet splits it into three, each with a matching little icon. β’ Photos become magnets β snap or upload a picture for a framed polaroid, or lift the subject cleanly out into a sticker (all on-device). β’ Doodle magnets β sketch something by hand and stick it on. β’ Arrange your way β drag magnets anywhere, resize, tilt, and shake your phone to shuffle the board. Pick from cozy surfaces: dotted, grid, paper, fridge, corkboard, or a starry night. β’ A gentle calendar β tap any day to plan ahead, and look back on everything you've finished. β’ Lock Screen widget & Live Activity β glance at today's magnets, and check one off, without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no cloud. Your notes are yours. MAGNET PLUS A single, one-time purchase (no subscription, ever) unlocks: β’ Unlimited magnets β’ Photo cut-outs (lift the subject from any photo) β’ Every future update The free version is genuinely useful β keep a boardful of magnets, plan your calendar, and enjoy the whole cozy experience. Plus is there when you want more room and the photo magic. Made with care by one indie developer who loves cozy, tactile things. Thanks for giving Magnet a home on your phone.
Notes

Your notes. Your aesthetic. Aesthetic Notes is not an ordinary notes app. Here every note gets its own paper, its own type and its own colour β and, if you like, a strip of tape, a wax seal or punch holes along the edge. What comes out doesn't look like a form. It looks like something off your desk. THE SAME NOTES EVERYWHERE β AND THE SAME DESIGN iCloud keeps your notes on iPhone, iPad and Mac at once. Not just the text: paper, type, colour, trimmings and image crop travel with them. A note you design in the evening looks exactly the same on your other device in the morning. Nothing gets reformatted, nothing goes missing. Everything stays private in your own iCloud. FOUR KINDS OF NOTES β’ Text note with weight, alignment and bullets β’ To-do list to tick off, with a reminder for each item β’ Table for plans, weeks and overviews β’ Picture note with a clean crop DESIGN IT UNTIL IT FEELS RIGHT Ten paper colours from cream to sage. Blank, lined or grid. Seventeen typefaces from plain to handwriting. Plus around thirty trimmings: tape, wax seals, pins, paper clips, punch holes, torn edges, decorative frames and bows. Found a combination you love? Save it in the Style Studio as your own style and apply it to any other note with a single tap. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Any note can go on your Home Screen as a widget β in three sizes and in its own design. Your shopping list ends up where you're already looking. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Individual notes can be locked with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. A locked note stays milky β lovely to look at, impossible to read. DRAWING Pen, marker, pencil and eraser. On iPad with Apple Pencil too. ON MAC AS WELL Aesthetic Notes is also available for macOS. There your notes sit right on the desktop, free to place anywhere, and they can turn transparent. FREE AND PRO Aesthetic Notes is free. Pro unlocks custom colours with an eyedropper, your own images as note backgrounds, the Design Collection and more typefaces. Try it free for seven days.
