One input box. That's the whole app. connote is a notes app that never asks you to organize. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no deciding where things go β all the steps that make you put off writing are gone. Write what's on your mind, hit save, and the app reads the rest out of your words. β Notes that connect Mention the same person, project, or word again and your earlier notes appear alongside β automatically. Link directly with [[title]] when you want to. Open an old note and everything written about it since follows. Notes don't pile up; they connect. β Dates and tags The moment you save is where a note lives: Today, Yesterday, then by date. Any #tag you type in the text becomes its label. There is no separate metadata to fill in. β Photos as instant prints Attach a photo and it's developed into a square, film-toned print with your note written underneath. Several photos stack like real prints and fan out with a tap. Share a note and photo and caption leave as one image. β Todos in one tap Tap the check as you write β that's a todo. The app never guesses from your phrasing; only what you mark becomes a list. β Graph Everything you've written becomes a map of links, tags, and days. β Yours alone No account, no server, no ads. Notes live on your device and in your iCloud, syncing quietly between your own devices. JSON backup and Markdown export included (opens as-is in Obsidian). The line you write today connects to what you'll write tomorrow.
