Progress is easy to forget. Milestone makes it easy to remember. Capture what you're working on with photos, voice notes, and text. Everything is organized on a timeline, so months of slow progress become something you can actually see. CAPTURE IN THE MOMENT Open the app and the camera is ready. Take a photo while the work is in front of you, record a voice note while the details are fresh, or type a note instead. Each entry keeps the moment, the context, and the date together. The whole flow takes seconds, so documenting progress never gets in the way of making it. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Everything lands on a chronological timeline, counting up from the day your project started. Scroll from your first entry to today to see where you started, what changed, and how it all came together. Progress that's hard to notice day to day becomes obvious when you can see it in order. Keep as many projects as you have going. Each one has its own timeline and day count. PLAN WHAT'S NEXT Keep tasks alongside each project so the work ahead stays connected to the progress you've already made. Reorder tasks, check them off when they're done, and add due dates only when you need them. Tasks can include photos, voice notes, and text too, so they're more than just a checklist. Completed tasks stay organized by when you finished them and can be cleared whenever you no longer need them. UNDERSTAND MORE WITH ON-DEVICE AI Milestone uses on-device AI to transcribe voice notes and analyze photos for readable text and visual subjects. Search for what you said, what was written, or what appeared in a photo—all without uploading your private moments to a Milestone server. FIND IT AGAIN Search your notes to find the moment you can't quite place. Voice-note transcripts and photo text or visual labels are included, so search can find what was said and what appeared in a photo, not just what you typed. Flag important entries so they're easy to return to later. KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER Project photos get buried in your camera roll. Details disappear into messages or stay in your head. Milestone keeps the photo, the context, and the moment together in one place. FOR ANYTHING WORTH DOCUMENTING Personal goals. Creative work. Home improvements. School projects. Travel. Restorations. Anything that takes long enough that you'll want to look back on it. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICES There is no Milestone account and no Milestone server. Your entries stay on your device and sync across iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud. Turn iCloud off and Milestone still works on one device.

Sticky Notea is a lightweight, thoughtfully designed place for the words you want to keep close. When an idea arrives, you shouldn't have to build a system before writing it down. Open the app, start typing, and your thought becomes a note you can see, revisit, and arrange with ease. Use it for a quick reminder, today's to-do list, a coffee recipe, a travel plan, a line of writing, or any small detail worth keeping. Designed for everyday notes: • Multiple ways to view Move between Standard List, Compact List, and Card View. Scan many notes at once, or browse them like paper notes laid out in front of you. • Simple organization Keep things clear with groups, search, pinned notes, favorites, and colors—without turning your notes into a complicated filing system. • Beautiful note images Turn a note into a polished, paper-inspired image for sharing ideas, lists, announcements, and quote cards, or save it directly to Photos. • Make it feel like yours Choose from paper colors, themes, layouts, and display options, with full Dark Mode support. A clean interface, gentle colors, and subtle motion make writing and organizing feel calm and natural. • Rich text, kept simple Use headings, lists, checklists, quotes, and bold text when you need more structure. Capture one line in a moment, or shape a longer thought at your own pace. • Local backup Export and restore your notes manually whenever you want to keep a copy or move them to another device. • App lock Protect personal notes with your device passcode or biometrics. Sticky Notea stays focused on writing, arranging, and seeing your notes clearly. It is simply a small piece of paper, ready whenever an idea finds you.
