Write vs Sill Notes

Write is a quiet place for ideas, notes, and first drafts. It keeps the thought you are editing at the center of the screen while earlier context gently fades, helping you stay with the sentence in front of you. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT • Write one thought at a time in a calm, centered editor. • Tap any earlier thought to return and revise it. • Move between thoughts with the keyboard on iPhone or your Mac. FIND EVERY NOTE • Notes are saved automatically on the device you are using. • Browse recent notes in a clear library. • Search by title or any phrase. • Delete notes with a familiar, confirmed action. EXPORT YOUR WORDS • Export a clean Markdown file or multipage PDF. • Your words and their order stay intact. • Export files are created entirely on your device. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC • Native layouts for a focused phone flow and an efficient Mac workspace. • System, Light, and Dark appearances. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, and Reduced Motion support. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Write has no account, advertising, analytics, or third-party server. Version 1.0 stores notes locally on each device and does not sync them between devices.

Sill is a small notepad for things you want to put down quickly and find again later. Notes are plain Markdown and stay plain. No smart quotes, no auto-capitalization, no hidden formatting: what you type is what is stored, and you can copy any note out as text at any time. Everything lives on your iPhone in a single local database. There is no account to create and no server in between, so Sill opens instantly and works the same with or without a network. If you also use the free Sill app for Mac, pair the two once by scanning a QR code. From then on they sync directly whenever they are near each other, over your local network or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, with mutual TLS between the two devices. Nothing passes through the internet. The Mac app is optional: Sill on iPhone is a complete notepad on its own. A formatting bar above the keyboard adds headings, bold, italic, code, lists and checklists, all as plain Markdown. Return continues bullets, numbers and checkboxes. Copy as Markdown pastes as real lists and emphasis into Slack, Mail, Notes and Docs, and as the exact text everywhere else. Quiet: no analytics, no ads, no notifications, no third-party SDKs. Sill collects no data at all. Sill is free and open source under the MIT license.
