I needed a note app to help me organize my thoughts on various work projects as well as keep track of to do lists and things like that. This app works really well on that front! The design of the notes is nice and simple. I like that you can choose to have your notes remain on top of all the other open apps/windows with the push of a button. I appreciated the trail but quickly payed for the full thing after trying it out for a bit.If I could add one thing, I do wish that there was an option to have new notes be created in a cyclical color pattern like ROYGBIV. Right now you can only choose to have them start as a single color choice for all of them or random. Of course it's only a few button presses to change this, however as most of my notes are for different work projects it would be nice to ensure they are always coming out a different color than the last one for orginizational purposes.All in all I am very happy with this app and highly recommend it.

Wow. Thanks for taking time to write such a lovely review!!Also, regarding your suggestion, I think I will update "random" selection in such a way that every new color is picked up in a cyclical pattern as you suggested.
Integrates Really Well and Has Significantly Helped My Work Flow

This app has really helped me during my readings for school. I tried the original Mac/Apple sticky notes app, but didn't really like how the note couldn't stay above the current application I was reading on (for reference, I use Zotero for my class readings). This app was a lifesaver among the various options and I was able to use it how I imagined in my head. I usually list out key ideas for what I should annotate/look out for during a reading on a note, and this app has significantly helped with my work flow during those sessions. I highly recommend this app for anyone who has dense readings to get through, and doesn't really want to break their immersion in having to swipe back to a different application window to see what key points they should take note of during or make small notes about a reading.
Good GTD Inbox
Vike99
Back in the Palm days (yes I am THAT old!) there was a great little app that you could just open and wrtie whatever. Then, when you had time, you could highlight parts and with a tap send to tasks, valendar or ship off as a note via email or as a text. This app is not as complete but the closest I have been able to find. I keep a small window (each with different color) for work, Personal projects, and a daily task list. I typically put everything I think of in the daily task list unless it is work - related, then stick into the work window. When I have a chance, I can quickly review and either complete or stick in the appropriate calendar/reminder whatever app for completing later. There have been a couple of glitches (ghost images remain of text after I delete something - goes away when I close and re-open window, transperency not working as desired sometimes) but I have found it very useful as a GTD inbox. Just wish I could process text within the app.

The Best I’ve Found

This one just ticks off all the items on my checklist. It sits quietly in the menubar until needed. Individual notes can be pinned to the desktop if desired. Nice formatting options within the notes. I tried a bunch of these including some better known apps that I think we way over-hyped. This one is definitely worth a look. I use it almost daily. Whether you want to maintain a list of movies to watch or a simple reminder/to do list. Or, just a scratchpad - a quick place to jot down something that you’ll need a little later. Color coding is a real winner with the list pastel options. I use it as a scratch pad to help me remember keyboard shortcuts that I don’t often use. It’s by far, the best for me at least. I rely on that iCloud Sync feature too. Definitely Go Pro for a few bucks.
New Control Center controls: open Quick Note or create a new note with a single tap. You can also add them to your Lock Screen or the Action button.
