Note: Access to a Nextcloud server with the Notes app installed is required to use this app. Visit https://nextcloud.com for more information. Nextcloud Notes is a notes editor that syncs with the Notes app (https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/releases) on your server. Once you have logged in to your server, all notes will be kept in sync between devices and also the web interface. Optionally supports sync on startup. You can create and delete notes directly on the device. Notes can be organized in categories. Edit as plain text or use markdown for rich formatting. Notes can be copied or exported to other apps or services in several formats. If you have a sync client (optional) installed on your desktop computer all notes will be there too, and can be edited with any text editor.

Take control of how you take screenshots on iOS. Fastest snipping (draw freely to snap crop), finer control over its size and style, swiftly cut out stickers to paste, hide parts of screenshot. Snip what's on your screen, mark it up and share it in seconds. Press the Action button or squeeze Apple Pencil Pro, and your screenshot opens straight in the Screenshot+ editor. Screenshot+ doesn't replace the screenshot built into iOS. Each has its own trigger, so you can use both: the iOS screenshot saves the whole screen to Photos as it is, while Screenshot+ opens straight into the editor to crop, cut out, style and share. SNIP FROM ANYWHERE Set up as many triggers as you like: • Action button (iPhone): one press snips whatever's on screen. • Apple Pencil Pro (iPad): squeeze the barrel to snip without putting the Pencil down. • Back Tap (iPhone): double or triple tap the back of your iPhone. • Keyboard and mouse (iPad): snip with a key combination or a spare mouse button. • AssistiveTouch: add a snip button to the floating menu. • Siri, or a voice command of your own, hands-free. Close the editor and you're back in the app you were using. FAST SNIPPING CUTOUTS Snip the screen, draw around what you want with Free Form, then touch and hold the selection and drag it into apps like Freeform. It has a transparent background, just like a sticker. SHARE STYLISED SCREENSHOTS Make your own presets to share elegant-looking screenshots every time. A preset can crop out the status bar automatically and put a gradient, color or blur background around your selection, with an optional border, so every screenshot you share has a distinct look. • Choose from six gradients or mix your own. • Set the screenshot size each preset shares by default. • See every change in a live preview. Each preset becomes a tab in the editor. Put your favourite first and the editor opens on it. SHARE, COPY, SAVE OR DRAG Share is one tap away in the editor. You can also copy your snip, save it to Photos or drag it into another app. Cutouts keep their transparent background. USE THE EDITOR ON ANY PHOTO Tap Share on a system screenshot or any other photo, in Photos, Files or Safari, and choose Screenshot+ to use the same selection tools. The editor opens right on top of the app you're in. RECENTS Your latest snips appear on the Home tab. Reopen one to carry on editing, with undo history intact. QUICK, GUIDED SETUP Setup takes a few minutes, once: allow notifications, add two free shortcuts and set your trigger. The Home tab walks you through each step, and the Guide tab has setup videos for the triggers. Screenshot+ relies on notifications to work, but it won't send you notifications. SCREENSHOT+ PRO Every tool is free to use. Free exports carry a small "Powered by Screenshot+" watermark. Screenshot+ Pro removes it from everything you copy, save, share or drag out. Screenshot+ Pro is a monthly auto-renewing subscription with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.neuralquark.com/screenshot-snipper-privacy-policy/ Pencil squeeze requires Apple Pencil Pro. The Action button is on iPhone 15 Pro and later.
