Lunch Note
Little notes for your kids
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A little note from you, waiting on their home screen. Write, draw or send a photo to your kid. Only the two of you can see it. Free, with no ads and no tracking.
Remember finding a note in your lunch? Lunch Note is that, on the home screen. Write a little note for your kid, and it shows up right where they'll see it next.
A NOTE LINE FOR TWO
Each note line connects one grown-up and one kid, and only those two people can ever see it. Not the other parent, not a brother or sister. Mom and Ava have their line, Dad and Ava have theirs, and Grandma can have one too.
RIGHT ON THEIR HOME SCREEN
Add the Lunch Note widget and your note shows up on their Home Screen, Lock Screen or StandBy, no app to open. A pinned note stays put until you unpin it.
WRITE, DRAW OR SNAP
Write a few words in a handwritten font, draw with your finger or Apple Pencil, or send a photo with a note on it. Pick the paper: napkin, notebook, sticky note or lunch bag. Pick the ink.
SEND IT LATER
Schedule a note for tomorrow at lunch, or the morning of the big test. It arrives right on time.
LITTLE ONES CAN WRITE BACK
Kids can reply with a drawing, a photo or a few words, and react with a heart, a star, a hug or a laugh. You'll see "Seen" when they open your note.
THE FRIDGE
One shared board for the whole family, for the things everyone should see.
SET UP BY A PARENT
Kids don't need an account, an email or a password. A parent sets up a kid's device by scanning a code from their own phone. Parents choose whether a kid can post photos or use the Fridge, set quiet hours, and can pause things anytime.
GRANDPARENTS TOO
Invite grandparents, aunts, uncles or a sitter as grown-ups. They get their own note line with a kid, and a spot on the Fridge.
JUST YOUR FAMILY
No ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Nothing is public: no profiles, no search, no strangers. The only way into your family is an invite from a parent, so nobody outside your family can reach you or your kids. Photos are stripped of location before they're stored, and deleting something really deletes it.
Lunch Note is free.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixed a crash that could happen when opening a new note.
Widgets now update with new notes even if you haven't opened the app, including when note alerts are turned off.
Setting up a kid's iPad is easier: every sign-in option now fits on the welcome screen.
Writing a note: tap Done at the top right to put the keyboard away. Picking a paper or ink, or dragging down on the note, puts it away too.
Reactions now show as you chose them (heart, star, hug or laugh) on the home screen and the Fridge, not just a heart.
"Match my phone" in Appearance now really follows your phone's dark mode.
New in Settings: Share anonymous usage. It sends crash reports and which features get used, so we can fix bugs faster. Never your names, notes, photos or email, and you can turn it off anytime. Kids' devices only send crash reports.
