About

Noteka

Features
Read full description

Noteka is a notepad that never goes online. Your notes live in one file on your phone and nowhere else. No account, no sign-in, no sync, no server, no analytics. Turn on airplane mode and everything works exactly the same. LOCK IT Set a PIN, or use your fingerprint or face. The PIN itself is never stored — only a salted hash of it, and that never leaves your device. Decide whether Noteka locks the moment you put it down, or a few minutes later. NOTES AND CHECKLISTS Write freely, or tick things off. Both are the same kind of note, so a shopping list turns into a paragraph and back with one tap. Press and drag a card to reorder it, in list or grid view, and drag items inside a checklist. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE Pick a date and time. Repeat once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. They fire on the minute you chose, with no internet, and they survive a restart. TIMER Quick presets, or set hours, minutes and seconds exactly. The alert reaches you even with the app closed. KEEP IT TIDY Folders, pinned notes, seven card colours, an archive, search, and four ways to sort — including an order you drag into place yourself. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 and Nederlands. Noteka opens in your phone's language on its own. NOTEKA PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION The free version holds up to 30 notes, 3 reminders and 3 folders. Pro lifts every limit and adds backup and restore: one file with everything in it, saved wherever you choose. Because Noteka never uploads anything, that file is the only copy of your notes outside this phone. Notes you have already written stay readable and editable forever, with or without Pro. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone.

About

LockPilot

LockPilot locks the apps you choose behind your own PIN or Face ID, separate from your iPhone passcode. LOCK IT YOUR WAY • Always locked: apps stay locked until you unlock them. • Schedule: lock games at night or social apps during work, just like an alarm. • Daily limit: choose how long you can use an app each day, or the hours it's allowed. • Hard lock: lock everything for a set time when you really need to focus. FAST AND SIMPLE • Unlock for 1 to 60 minutes with Face ID or your PIN. The app locks again by itself. • Quick lock, hard lock and pause from one ring on the home screen. • Press and hold the LockPilot icon to lock everything in a second. • Pause locking for a while; it switches back on by itself. • Lock websites too. • Works with Siri and Shortcuts. Available in 18 languages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN LockPilot uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your choices stay on your iPhone: LockPilot can't see the names or contents of the apps you lock, and that information never leaves your device. FREE AND PRO The free version includes one lock group and shows ads. LockPilot Pro removes ads and unlocks unlimited lock groups. LOCKPILOT PRO • Pro Yearly: 1-year auto-renewing subscription with a 7-day free trial. • Pro Lifetime: one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase (for the yearly plan, when the free trial ends).
