Zettel - Quick Notes for iOS.
Write. Swipe to tear. Done. Zettel brings the satisfying feeling of ripping paper to your iPhone.
What makes it different:
- One note at a time: Full screen. No tabs, no folders, no mess. Just you and your thoughts.
- Tear to clear: Swipe from the edge and drag across the screen. Your note tears away with haptic feedback that actually feels real.
- Tags that work: Type #anything and it becomes a tag. Find notes instantly without setting up complicated systems.
- Your files, anywhere: Notes are plain Markdown files. Edit them in other apps, sync however you want, or just keep them local.
Perfect for:
- Quick thoughts
- Meeting notes
- Daily journaling
- Project ideas
Simple by design:
- iPhone only (as it should be)
- Works with Files app
- Dark mode included
- No account required
- Zero tracking
Built by someone who got tired of overcomplicated note apps. Sometimes the best tools are the simplest ones.

Improvements
- **Swipe Reliability**: Swiping to create a new note now flushes any pending auto-save first, so quick swipes won't lose last-second edits.
