Wake the screen. There's your list. The fresh meat's going fast. Your list shouldn't take twelve apps to find. ShowMeTheNote holds one note. Not a folder of notes, not a notebook โ one. It's already open when you launch, already there when you glance at your Lock Screen, and it never asks you which note you meant. ONE NOTE, ALWAYS OPEN Open the app and you're typing. Nothing to name, nothing to file. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Tap the neon sign and your note lights up the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so it's there while you shop, cook or pack. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Small, medium and large widgets, plus a Lock Screen widget, all showing the note you're writing. TICK IT OFF Turn any line into a checklist item and tap the circle as you go. ARCHIVE, DON'T LOSE Done with a list? Archive it and start fresh. Search the archive when you need it back, then make it the active note again in one tap. YOURS ALONE Notes sync across your devices through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no account, no tracking, nothing collected. FOUR LOOKS Navy & Ivory, Terracotta, Ochre and Sage, in light or dark.
