Volanote: Quick Notes
Brain dump now, sort it later
$4.99
Get it out of your head in a couple seconds. Swipe through it later, one note at a time. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Your brain isn't meant to hold everything. That random idea during a meeting. The thing you need to remember later. The task that just popped into your head. These mental "open tabs" pile up and quietly drain your focus.
Volanote is where those thoughts go. Open it, type, done. No folders, no tags, no setup. Just a place to dump what's in your head so you can get back to what you were doing.
How it works:
Add notes in seconds from wherever you are - the app, your lock screen, Siri, the share sheet, or a home screen widget. When you have a few minutes, swipe through your notes in review mode to decide what matters and what doesn't.
That's it. Capture fast. Review later.
Features:
- Add notes via Siri, widgets, share sheet, shortcuts, or the Action Button
- Weekly review sessions to process what you've captured
- Flag important notes with a single tap
- "Stale" badges remind you when notes have been sitting too long
- iCloud sync keeps everything on all your devices
- Lock screen and Control Center widgets for instant access
No subscription. Pay once, use forever - on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Built by one developer who actually uses this app every day. No bloat, no feature creep - just what you need to get thoughts out of your head and into a trusted place.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Most of this update is the review screen, since that's the part of Volanote I use every day.
• Undo. If you swipe a note the wrong way, tap Undo and it comes right back.
• Stale now means untouched. Reviewing or editing a note resets the clock, so the Stale filter gets shorter as you work through it.
• Before you start, each review filter shows how many notes it'll bring up.
• Review is the first button on the Notes screen now, with a count.
• Swipe up on a note that's already important and it unmarks; the button says so.
• Pasting no longer asks for permission every time.
• Tapping a note in Spotlight opens that note.
• The Add Note shortcut on the Home Screen icon opens straight to a new note.
• Archived notes are deleted after 30 days even if you never open the Archive tab.
• Fixes for reminders, the app badge, widgets, and VoiceOver.
Thanks for using it.
