Flyout is a markdown note app for iPhone and iPad. Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts, then find the note again with folders, tags and search. Turn on iCloud sync and your notes travel through your own iCloud account — nothing passes through our servers. Buy "Flyout for iPhone, iPad and Mac" and the Mac app is included, where a full editor slides out from the edge of your screen over your work. There is an iPhone-only option at a lower price. WHAT YOU GET • Quick notes — a tabbed scratchpad for what you never need to file • A real editor — headings, lists, tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, files • Reminders that live inside the note, not in a separate app • Tags that cut across folders, and folders for everything else • Lock a note with a password — it is encrypted on your device and in iCloud • iCloud sync on your own account — nothing passes through our servers • Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts TRY IT FIRST Seven days, everything unlocked. When the trial ends, Flyout locks until you buy it. Your notes are not deleted: they keep syncing if sync is on, and you can export them as Markdown. PRIVACY Sync stays off until you turn it on. Once it is on, your notes travel through your own iCloud account. We do not run a server that holds notes, we cannot read them, and there is no account to create. Locked notes are encrypted with a key derived from your password.
