Markdown notes, quietly yours

Only for iPhone

Free

iPhone

New in 1.1: undo and redo above the keyboard, search when you move a note, and a simpler switch between iCloud and your iPhone. smalltype is for your notes. The small ones, the quick ones, the big ones, the unpolished ones. It's a fast, quiet place to type. ## Start No tutorial, no setup screen. Tap New Note and start typing. Leave one empty and it quietly disappears, so you never end up with a pile of blank untitled notes. That's the whole app. ## Yours Every note is a real .md file, sitting right there in the Files app. You can open it, copy it, or back it up yourself, anytime. Delete one and it still goes to Recently Deleted, same as any other file: nothing's gone for good. ## Sync or Don't Keep notes in iCloud Drive to have them on every device. Or keep them On My iPhone, fully local, never leaving your device. Either way, you can switch anytime. ## Visible Markdown Markdown markers stay gently visible as you type. What you see is exactly what's in the file. A bar above the keyboard types the markers for you, with undo and redo a tap away. ## Organize Folders, search, and quick note-making, all from one screen. Nothing to set up first. Put "daily" in a folder's name and new notes inside it get today's date as their name. ## No Catch No ads. No subscription. No tracking. No account, ever. Markdown notes. Yours to keep.

## Undo and Redo The bar above the keyboard now starts with undo and redo. They group by words, so one tap takes back a whole word instead of a single letter. Your history survives closing a note and opening it again, but not quitting the app. ## Switching Storage iCloud Drive and On My iPhone have their own menu at the top left, instead of the ••• menu. ## Moving Notes The Move sheet keeps a search field visible and has its own sort, so a folder buried a few levels down is a few keystrokes away. ## Frontmatter A --- block at the top of a note now dims as one piece. Type --- and press return and it closes itself. ## Fixes That keyboard bar keeps its spacing after you move a note, and tapping back into the editor works after you long-press a link.
