Wait — what was I about to write? And when am I ever going to clear out all these notes? “Type it, hit enter. Hold to delete. That’s the whole thing.” blarblar is a widget that keeps one-line notes. A grocery list, an idea that showed up uninvited, the call you have to make this afternoon. Write it the way you thought it, press enter, and a small pill lands on your home screen. [A memo widget, and nothing more] ・ No button to hunt for. Enter is the whole interface. ・ Pour out one thought after another without stopping. ・ Colors pick themselves. Nothing to choose. ・ Want to change one? Just tap the pill. [Right there on your home screen] Your notes are visible without opening the app. Wake the screen and what you have to do, what you have to buy — it’s already there. Small, medium and large widgets are all supported. [Clearing them out is just as easy] Press and hold a note and it slowly fades away. No more tapping DELETE over and over. Deleted the wrong one? The undo button brings it right back. [You’ll probably like this if] ・ You’ve forgotten a thought while waiting for a notes app to open ・ You rebuild the same grocery list every week ・ Folders and tags wore you out ・ Your notes pile up faster than you can clear them ・ A to-do app feels like too much for “buy milk” ・ You’d rather glance at a widget than open an app [Unlock unlimited] Five notes are free. Want to hold more thoughts? One payment, one time. Not a subscription.
