Retro Notes - Notetaker
Journal, Tasks & Daily Planner
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A note-taking app that does more than text. Add checklists, photos, voice memos, locations, countdowns, flights, movies, books & music — all inside your notes.
Retro Notes turns everyday note-taking into something you actually enjoy. Beautifully designed with vintage-inspired themes, it combines the simplicity of classic journals with the power of a modern organizer — all on your iPhone and iPad.
WRITE FREELY, ORGANIZE EFFORTLESSLY
Create notes with rich text blocks, checklists, and tags. Organize everything into folders and nested subfolders. On iPad, use full notebooks for long-form journaling and creative projects. Pin your favorites for quick access, and find anything instantly with powerful global search across all your notes, folders, tasks, and blocks.
A BLOCK FOR EVERYTHING
Retro Notes goes beyond plain text. Each note is built from blocks you mix and match:
• Text — Write with customizable per-note fonts. Choose from 15 beautiful typefaces including Typewriter, Georgia, Baskerville, Futura, and more.
• Tasks — Interactive checklists to track your to-dos right inside your notes.
• Photos & Videos — Capture memories with images and video clips. Trim videos before adding them.
• Voice Memos — Record audio notes when typing isn't an option.
• Locations — Pin places to your notes with interactive maps.
• URLs — Save and preview web links with one tap.
• Scanner — Scan documents directly into your notes using your camera.
• PDF — Attach and view documents natively.
• Countdown — Set visual countdown timers for events, deadlines, and milestones.
• Music — Search and embed your favorite tracks from a massive catalog.
• Movies — Log films with posters, ratings, runtime, and director info.
• Books — Track your reading with covers, authors, and page counts.
• Flights — Look up real flights with route maps, terminals, aircraft details, and live status.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
Use the Share Extension to send text, links, images, and checklists from Browser, Mail, Messages, or any app directly into Retro Notes. Content is automatically parsed into the right blocks — URLs become link blocks, bullet points become tasks, and images get their own photo blocks. No copy-pasting needed.
RETRO THEMES THAT FEEL JUST RIGHT
Customize your experience with handcrafted themes that give your notes real personality. Switch between classic, dark, and colorful palettes — every element from the toolbar to the blocks adapts to your chosen theme.
WIDGET SUPPORT
Pin your most important note to a home screen widget for instant access. See your content at a glance without even opening the app.
TIME CAPSULE
Seal a note and lock it until a future date — a week, a month, or a year from now. When the time comes, it unlocks automatically. Write letters to your future self, save birthday messages, or preserve memories for later.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your notes stay on your device. Retro Notes uses no cloud accounts, no sign-ups, and no tracking. What you write is yours alone.
BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
Fully optimized for both platforms. On iPad, take advantage of larger screens with the notebook editor for long-form writing, side-by-side organization, and an expanded block canvas.
