Notes you can't see are notes you forget.
Regular note and notepad apps hide everything one tap away. The grocery list, the reminder, the little message for someone you love — they all deserve a spot you actually look at.
- A normal note app has to be opened before you remember it.
- Reminders, screenshots and to-dos belong on your Home Screen.
- Shared notes for couples and family should just be there.
Everything a notes widget should do
A sticky note, notepad, and post-it widget in one — pin multiple note widgets to your Home Screen, share them with people you trust, and make each one yours.
WidgetNote works as a sticky note widget, a notepad widget for iPhone, and a Home Screen note widget — all from one app.
