Appended
A simple note app
$14.99 · Designed for iPad
This is not your typical notes app!
In simpler times, if someone had a thought, they might jot it down in a notebook. If they had another thought, it would go right below the earlier one. No need for organizing, tagging, editing, or correcting old mistakes. If something became distracting, or if it was a TODO item that was done, it could just be crossed out.
This app is that: a note taking app reminiscent of pen and paper, where the only form of organization was the sequence the notes were written in. With Appended, if you have a thought, you append it to your only ongoing note. If some entry is no longer relevant, you can cross it out, or delete it, but there is no temptation -- because there's no ability -- to edit or organize.
Appended differs from a paper notebook in only two ways:
* Notes are (optionally) rendered in markdown. Without a distracting formatting UI, you can bring life to your notes by adding lists, tables, links, or rich text
* Notes are full searchable, making it much easier to find something you wrote months ago buried among all your other great ideas
Other great features:
* Encrypted notes sync securely across all your devices (requires iCloud)
* Create notes using Siri by simply saying "Create a note using Appended"
* View or add notes straight from your Apple Watch
* Use the Shortcuts app to append notes, search them, and more
* Optionally hide entries that don't match your search results for a cleaner view, or show them to provide some extra context
* Strikethrough notes that are no longer important to you, or optionally hide them. Easily toggle whether they're included in search results
* Share individual notes
* Copy notes to your clipboard
Features Appended does NOT have:
* Complicated organization that makes you wonder where you've put old notes
* Super flexible organization that makes you feel guilty when you just need to write something down so you don't forget it
* Todo lists that grow faster than you can manage, resulting in you never using it anymore
* Distracting formatting UIs, making you think about how your notes should look rather than noting them before you forget
* Editing existing notes
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This version brings a couple improvements:
* Exclude words or phrases from search. Prefix any word or quoted phrase with a "-" to exclude matching notes
* Hitting return when searching will minimize the search bar, giving you more room to see search results
* Links, addresses, and phone numbers, are detected and tappable
* Minor performance improvements due to better caching
...and some small fixes:
* Only http/https links will open in-app. Other schemes, such as mailto://, will open apps based on your system preferences
* Search bar only allows one line of text
