DESIGNED TO BE MINIMAL
No busy templates. No stock photos. No distracting graphics. Just your words on a clean gradient or solid-colour background. Pick from 20 hand-picked Pantone-inspired colours, or dial in your own with the custom colour picker.
FONTS THAT FIT YOUR VIBE
Choose from a curated set of fonts — modern, classic, bold, or handwritten. Every wallpaper looks intentional, not generic.

Your Lock Screen note, redesigned. The card now blends into your Lock Screen, and you can pick a Medium or Large card and one of five text sizes. Add an optional title — write your own or tap Remember, To do, Today or Don't forget — and checklists show your progress at a glance, with a little animation when you tick something off.
Four new handwritten text styles: Marker, Brush, Diary and Doodle.
Also new: Show on Lock Screen is easier to find when you share, a short optional survey where you can say what you'd love to see next, and the usual fixes and polish.
