Mini Notes vs Notepad

If you want a notes app that's “open and write, tidy as you go, never lose a word,” Mini Notes is built for you. **Auto-save, so every quick note is safe** Even if a call comes in, the app is interrupted, or your phone runs flat, anything you hadn't saved is brought back automatically. No hunting for a save button—just write. **Flexible organization, your own knowledge base** Manage things as “Notebook → Group → Note” with multi-level nesting for complex setups—or skip filing entirely and just jot things down. **One-tap sharing, capture ideas on the spot** When you spot a passage or link in Safari or another app, just tap Share and choose Mini Notes. It drops straight into your inbox—no copying back and forth. **Effortless formatting, clear at a glance** The rich-text editor gives you bold, strikethrough and a 12-color preset palette, and remembers the last color you used so you don't set it again. Titles inherit the body's formatting, keeping list previews clean and readable. **Home Screen widget, no need to open the app** Put your most recently edited notes on your Home Screen and see what you wrote today at a glance. Tap one to jump straight back into it. **Recently Deleted, for when you delete by mistake** Deleted notes stay in Recently Deleted for 3 days, so you can restore them anytime. Sure you don't need them? Clear them out in one tap. **Text Size, so everything is easy to read** Drag a slider in Settings to resize the text and icons throughout the app, without changing the setting for any other app. **Markdown checklists for quick to-dos** Type "# checklist" to turn the current line into a tappable checkbox. Press Return and the next line starts with a checkbox too. Tap to tick it off—tapped the wrong one? Just undo it. We'll keep updating Mini Notes. If there's something you'd like improved, or a feature you'd love to see, please leave a review on the App Store or get in touch via Send Feedback in the app. Your support and encouragement keep us building a better product. Thank you!

Notepad – Private Notes is a plain yellow legal pad for your iPhone. Open it, write the thought down, and get on with your day. YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR PHONE • No account, no sign-up, no email. • No internet: the app never sends your notes anywhere. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. WRITE IT DOWN FAST • Tap + and start typing: a new note opens with the keyboard up. • Notes save as you type. There's no Save button to forget. • Ruled legal-pad lines, or a plain page if you prefer. • Turn a note into a list, or a list back into a note. SHOP LISTS • Tick things off and they drop to the bottom. • Return adds the next item; Backspace on an empty one removes it. • Drag items to put them in order. • An untitled list takes its name from the first thing you add. FIND THINGS AGAIN • Search every note and list. • A calendar shows what you wrote on each day. • Deleted notes wait in the Trash Can until you restore them or delete them for good. Dark mode included. Made by Sable Creek Software.
