Levity Markdown Notes

Features
Read full description

Levity is a fast Markdown editor for your own plain-text notes, based on a folder in iCloud Drive or on your device. No account, no proprietary database, no separate sync service to set up. Point Levity at a folder and it mirrors every Markdown file inside it, and keeps mirroring as they change. Built for speed on your phone and read-compatible with Obsidian vaults. Levity opens, scrolls, and searches instantly, even in a large vault. It's tuned for mobile from the first line of code. If you already keep an Obsidian vault, Levity reads it as-is: the same files, the same folders, the same frontmatter. Your notes are just text files. They live in your own iCloud Drive or on your device, sync through your own Apple account, and open in any other editor. A live, clean editor: โ€ข Formatting appears as you type. The raw Markdown symbols stay out of your way, while your files stay pure Markdown on disk โ€ข Headings, bold, italic, task lists, checkboxes, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables you can edit cell by cell โ€ข [[Wiki-links]] between notes, with autocomplete โ€ข Inline images โ€ข A formatting bar, so you never have to hunt for a raw symbol Organize without a database: โ€ข Tag your notes and filter by tag โ€ข YAML frontmatter โ€” add any property you like (status, type, dates, lists) and build filtered views around it โ€ข Folders, templates, archive, and trash โ€ข Full-text search across every note, instantly Made yours: โ€ข Seven themes, plus an automatic day / night mode that follows your surroundings โ€ข Adjustable font, size, and spacing โ€ข Designed for both iPhone and iPad Levity is focused and supports text, tags, and links; no graph view or plugins, just the fastest way to write and read Markdown on iOS, on top of files you already own. Free to start. One optional yearly subscription unlocks unlimited note creation and editing; reading your notes is never limited. Your privacy, by design: your notes stay in your own iCloud or device storage. Levity Premium is an auto-renewing subscription billed yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

ScreenStash

You screenshot everything โ€” recipes, receipts, Wi-Fi passwords, gift ideas, workout plans. Then they vanish into your camera roll, never to be found again. ScreenStash gives every screenshot a home. ORGANIZE LIKE IT'S FUN Import your screenshots and file them onto visual boards with one tap. The Stash button learns where things go โ€” receipts go where your receipts live. Made a mistake? Undo is always one tap away. AN INBOX THAT REACHES ZERO New screenshots land in your Inbox. File them, and they leave the pile. The pile only shrinks โ€” so you always know what's left to sort, and clearing it feels great. SEARCH THE TEXT INSIDE YOUR SCREENSHOTS ScreenStash reads every screenshot with on-device text recognition. That recipe from March? Type "chicken." The beach house Wi-Fi? Type "wifi." Everything you've ever saved, instantly findable. BOARDS THAT SORT THEMSELVES Six smart boards automatically group receipts, recipes, travel documents, codes & Wi-Fi, places, and shopping โ€” no filing required. Adjust anything by hand. CLEAN UP YOUR CAMERA ROLL After importing, ScreenStash offers to delete the originals from Photos โ€” only with your confirmation, and only after every screenshot is verified safe inside the app. Reclaim gigabytes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, and no server of ours ever sees your screenshots. Text recognition runs on your iPhone, and your library stays on your iPhone. The one thing ScreenStash measures is which ad brought you here and whether it led to a subscription โ€” that's how a small app knows where to spend. It's a device identifier and a purchase event, never your screenshots or anything found inside them. iOS asks your permission first, and declining changes nothing about how the app works. FREE AND PRO Free is the full app: search, boards, one-tap filing โ€” and a daily import allowance that never runs out. 100 screenshots land the day you install, then 50 more every day. Forever. Free. Sitting on years of screenshots? ScreenStash Pro imports your entire library at once โ€” plus auto-import, smart boards, and iCloud backup to your own private iCloud. One $19.99 purchase. No subscription, ever. Yours for life. Requires iOS 18 or later.
