Some thoughts are too important to bury in a notes app you never open. Peel puts them on sticky notes that live everywhere you look — your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, your wrist, your Mac. Write it once, see it until it's done. THE NOTE THAT CHECKS ITSELF OFF Tap an item on a widget and it's done — no unlocking, no opening the app. Pin a checklist to your Lock Screen and cross things off from there. It even lands on your Apple Watch the moment you write it. FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH EVERY THOUGHT • A note or checklist in seconds, from the app, a widget, the Share Sheet, or Siri • 21 ready-made templates — groceries, packing, meetings, workouts, habits • Write "dinner tomorrow at 7" and Peel offers a reminder or a calendar event. Nothing slips. TOO PRETTY TO IGNORE • 22 hand-tuned colors, custom shades, fonts, patterns and photo backgrounds • Draw on notes with Apple Pencil or your finger • A board that feels alive — satisfying check-offs, a daily streak, and confetti when you finish a list EVERYWHERE, IN SYNC iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch — one board, synced instantly through your own iCloud. Check something off on your watch and it's done on your phone before you lower your arm. YOURS, PRIVATELY No account. No ads. No analytics.
