Sol is a daily notes app designed for the way your days actually unfold. Instead of making you organize everything into folders, notebooks, or complicated systems, Sol gives each day its own space. Capture quick thoughts, meeting notes, tasks, links, images, ideas, and anything else you want to remember, right when it happens. Your notes naturally stay connected to the day they belong to, creating a clear and useful record of your life and work. CAPTURE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Write down a quick thought or create a detailed, structured note. Sol is flexible enough for both. Use it for: β€’ Daily notes and personal logs β€’ Meeting notes and client work β€’ Tasks and reminders β€’ Ideas and inspiration β€’ Links, images, and useful information β€’ Recipes, lists, and plans ORGANIZED BY DAY There is no need to decide where every note belongs. Sol automatically keeps your entries organized by date, so you can focus on capturing what matters instead of managing a filing system. FAST BY DESIGN Sol is built to feel immediate. Create a new entry, start typing, and move on with your day. The interface stays out of your way while still giving you the tools you need to structure your notes. FIND ANYTHING Search across your notes and use hashtags to connect related entries across different days. Turn scattered daily thoughts into an archive that becomes more valuable over time. MORE THAN JUST NOTES Mark entries as tasks, set reminders, add images and links, and organize your day without switching between multiple apps. Sol brings your notes, tasks, and memories together in one calm, chronological space. YOUR DAYS, REMEMBERED Small notes are easy to forget, but together they tell the story of what you worked on, thought about, discovered, and accomplished. Sol helps you capture your days as they happen and return to them whenever you need. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Loops

Features
Read full description

I think a lot. You probably do too. Loops is a notebook to help you think. It won't answer, remind you, or connect things. It holds your reasoning until you come back. Writing something feels like learning it. The friction is the point. THE COLD OPEN Come back to a Loop you've left alone for a week or more and the composer is withheld. You get the day count, the last thing you wrote, and your open prediction with three answers: it held, it didn't, still open. Only then do you get to write. CARRY ONE WITH YOU Put a question in your pocket and it moves to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island for as long as you're chewing on it. When the answer turns up on a walk or in the shower, tap it and you're writing before the thought is gone. THINGS DIE Every Loop shows how cold it is and fades as it goes. Untouched for sixty days and it archives itself. If it mattered, open it again. YOUR REASONING CAN LEAVE Copy any loop out as Markdown β€” the question, why it mattered, the whole trail, every prediction and how it turned out. Straight into any notes app, or as a file. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY WON'T DO No AI. No suggested connections. No daily review. No streaks. No notifications. No account, no sync, no analytics. Totally FREE.
