Nib - Private Notes

Productivity

Free · In-App Purchases

A quiet place to write, now more private: Sync codes and locked notes clear from your clipboard, and new synced libraries stay in the EU. Nib is a writing app that stays out of your way. Nib opens on your library: your notes and pages as cards. Notes are for catching a thought: tap New note and start typing. Pages are for real writing, with headings, an outline you can jump through, images and tables. File notes and pages in folders by dragging them onto one, or give them a category in a colour. Three of each are free. Format as you would in Notes: checklists, bulleted and numbered lists, bold, italic, underline and highlight, from the bar above the keyboard. Link notes as you write: type [[ and pick one. Each note lists the ones that link to it. Catch a thought from anywhere. Send text or a link to Nib from the share sheet, add a note with Shortcuts, or start one from a widget on your Home Screen. Set a reminder on any note, and Nib tells you at the time you chose. Bring your notes with you: import from Simplenote, Bear, Evernote or Notesnook, or any Markdown. Everything stays on your device unless you share a draft or turn on sync. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Lock Nib with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Version history goes back 30 days, so you can return to what you wrote before. Pin what matters, and restore what you trash. Share a draft by link, read-only, for a week. Set a daily word goal and keep a streak. Turn on the style check, and Nib counts what might read better: filler, passive voice, clichés and long sentences. Make it yours: light, dark or one of seven more themes, and in Settings → Customize, the size, width, spacing and typeface of your text. Your writing is never locked in. Export any page as Markdown, or save a full backup of your whole library, free forever. NIB PLUS • Your library on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, with encrypted sync and a sync code only you hold. The server stores copies it cannot read. • An encrypted backup off your device, restorable with your sync code. • Share drafts for up to 90 days, with a password if you like, and more than one at a time. Readers can leave notes that only you see. • A vault for chosen notes, with a passcode of its own. • Export to Word, PDF and HTML. • All your version history, not just the last 30 days. • A goal and deadline for any document, timed sprints, and a calendar of what you wrote. • The style check's suggestions, underlined in your text. • Three more themes: Purple Green, Alien Pink and drcl. • As many folders and categories as you like. One subscription covers Nib on your iPhone, iPad and Mac when you use the same Apple Account. Nib Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, with a free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or at the end of the trial. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

What's new in nib 1.10.08? NEW • Think someone else has your sync code? Change it in Settings → Sync. • Tap anything that needs Nib Plus to see what Plus includes, and start it right there. MORE PRIVATE • Sync codes, share passwords and text from locked notes clear from your clipboard after 10 minutes. • While your vault is open, your notes are hidden when you switch apps. • A locked note's folder and categories stay hidden until you open the vault. • Vault passcodes can't be only numbers, and new ones are much harder to crack. • If you start syncing now, your writing is stored in the EU. • Our server keeps only the last 90 days of past versions. Your devices still keep all of them. • Our server can no longer tell exactly how long each of your notes is. • While you type, Nib syncs about once a minute instead of every few seconds. • New in Settings → Sync: Require signed sync, an extra lock on your synced writing. Turn it on once Nib is updated on all your devices. FASTER AND FIXED • Much quicker with thousands of notes: opening Nib, searching and saving. • Times stay on one line, long links wrap, and long titles no longer hide under the pin. • Very large files from other apps import without slowing Nib down. Use Nib on more than one device? Update it on each one.
