NotePass has been rebuilt from the ground up — a complete (Swift) rewrite for modern iOS.
NotePass is the app that lets you speak when you can't be heard. It turns your phone into a giant sign. Type what you need to say, tap Show, and hold up the screen — everyone around you reads it instantly, no talking required.

• Type a note, tap Show — instant full-screen display in giant type
• Save your favorite notes for one-tap reuse
• Swipe between saved notes without leaving full-screen
• Live variables — drop {time}, {day}, {date}, or {battery} into any note and watch it update in real time, even a live {countdown}
• Choose your icon — Default or Retro
• Speaks your language — 11 languages, including full right-to-left layout for Arabic and Hebrew (note, translations used AI and may contain inaccuracies)
• Fast, private, and free: no accounts, no ads, no data collected
USES
• Getting through a meeting without interrupting
• Getting the bartender's or DJ's attention in a loud room
• Speaking when you've lost your voice
• Signing to someone hard of hearing
• Roadside alerts to other drivers
• Flirting, obviously

I've used this simple effective app to motivate kids to write for 6+ years. I've used it pushing in to general ed classes or pull out. Kids that don't like to write will want to type in the app and then write it again on their paper. If kids can't keep up with notes teacher writes on board, I type them in note pass and the child copies from the app onto paper. Take a pic or copy and paste into notes or email to save for later. Also, iPhone now lets you speak to write texts/emails and that works in this app too!! White text on black background is good for students with visual impairments. Love this app!!
Great messenger!!!

Great for simple messages to help people on the road. I have made a list of ready to use help notes for motorists in trouble... "YOUR TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT" or "YOUR LEFT TAIL LIGHT IS OUT" or "YOUR TIRES ARE SPARKING"... Believe it or not those are serious issues. I have seen people almost slam into cars with no rear lights. Keep it simple! Keep it respectful! Keep it reverent!
Simple but so useful.

It’s fairly straightforward but I’ve found myself using it repeatedly in certain extremely loud situations and it’s so useful.
Happy about update!
