Nowio gives every day its own page. Everything you write is encrypted on your device before it syncs. No account, no server of ours in between โ€” your journal stays yours. Write down what happens while it happens, tick things off, and let a quick line grow into something structured. Notes, tasks and events live on the same page instead of in three different apps. A PAGE FOR EVERY DAY Open Nowio and today is already there. Come back to any day whenever you need it. NOTES AND TASKS TOGETHER Text, checklists, bullets, quotes and events in one place. Anything still open yesterday moves itself to today, so nothing quietly disappears. IT GROWS WITH THE THOUGHT Any entry can hold sub-entries. Start with a line, end with a document. Link entries to each other, tag them with #hashtags, or mark them Important, Work, Personal, Idea or Someday and filter by that. PHOTOS, VOICE AND MORE Add photos and video inline. Record a voice note and it turns into text by itself. YOUR CALENDAR, IN CONTEXT The day's events appear on the matching page. Nowio only reads them โ€” nothing is changed or stored. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Rewrite a paragraph, summarize an entry, or pull the tasks out of a wall of text with Apple Intelligence, without your words leaving the device. SPACES Keep work, personal life and each project apart. Invite someone into a space and write the day together. WIDGETS AND MORE Today's note and tasks on your Home Screen, tickable without opening the app. A Live Activity while the day is running. Reminders, Spotlight search, Siri shortcuts and a share extension. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Your notes live on your device and sync through your own iCloud. There is no server of ours in between, and we cannot read a word of it. NOWIO PRO Nowio is free and unlimited for notes, tasks and everything about writing. Nowio Pro adds more spaces, shared spaces, Apple Intelligence, voice transcription, recurring tasks, your own templates and PDF export.

About

Jarvel Notes

Features
Read full description

Jarvel Notes is a notes app for people who write more than a shopping list. Everything you write lives in a workspace you can share with your team, and everything syncs โ€” the note you start on your phone is the same note waiting in your browser. WRITE PROPERLY A real editor, not a text box. Headings, lists, checklists, quotes, code, tables and images, with a slash command to reach any of them without leaving the keyboard. ORGANISE HOW YOU THINK Nest pages inside pages, group them in folders and drag any of them anywhere. Give a page an emoji from your own keyboard so you can find it at a glance, and star the ones you keep coming back to. WORK TOGETHER Invite your team to a workspace and everyone sees the same pages. Notes in a shared workspace update live as your colleagues type, with their cursors right there in the document. MORE THAN TEXT Draw on a page when a sketch says it faster. Plan on a kanban board when a list is not enough. Start from a template when you write the same document every week. BUILT FOR IPHONE Native navigation, large titles, system search, Dynamic Type and full dark mode support. It looks and moves like an iPhone app because it is one. NEVER LOSE ANYTHING Every change saves as you make it, and the app tells you plainly when your writing is safe. Deleted pages wait in the trash until you say otherwise. ONE JARVEL ACCOUNT Sign in with Jarvel ID and switch between accounts without signing out. Your storage, your workspaces and your team come with you. Jarvel Notes requires a free Jarvel account.
