This is a very light note-taking app that only retains the most core features and hopes to make it the best. You can add notes very quickly, and quickly mark your notes. You can easily add groups and choose the appropriate group for your notes. We repeatedly optimize user interaction and UI design, hoping to provide you with a pleasant user experience. Our app is also very SECURE. It does not use any network data except iCloud, and does not collect any user information, you can close the wireless data, and it works well.
