Napkin Ideas 4+

I was happy to be one of the beta testers after waiting in line to be one for many weeks (they were very strategic in that process). I enjoyed using the app for a few months in beta mode but felt the price point was a bit steep for my limited use. After letting it go I tried to find other quote reminder type apps and though they exist they just aren’t the same and end up ‘sitting on the shelf’ rather than being used. The peaceful design and experience of this app along with the linking of ideas made it a step above. I’ve missed it.

Glad to see it’s available to everyone now and wish the developers the best of success. They always responded within a day or two to any feedback provided during the beta period and they always seemed nice to work with. Happy to see the price point is a bit lower and I’m back now!

I’ve been using Napkin for a while now, and it has become an indispensable tool for reflecting on my thoughts, ideas, and knowledge. The app’s intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it easy to capture, organize, and review information seamlessly.

What sets Napkin apart is its unique approach to connecting ideas. The ability to link notes and visualize connections between different pieces of information has enhanced my recall, productivity and creativity. Whether I’m brainstorming for work projects, jotting down personal insights, or organizing research, Napkin covers it.

The app’s flexibility is another highlight. It allows for both structured and free-form note-taking, accommodating various styles and preferences. The integration with Readwise is smooth, making it easy to incorporate into my existing workflow.

Overall, Napkin is a great app for anyone serious about note-taking and knowledge management. I could see it as a must-have app for professionals, students, and anyone who values their ideas. Highly recommended.

For awhile now I've endeavored to fill my iphone with apps that pour into me, rather than drain my life, attention, wallet, etc. I've endeavored to use my phone to create, to consume quality over quantity, read books rather than social media, etc.
Napkin is an important app in my toolkit for those purposes. Resurfacing my own thoughts, and those ideas that I've collected from others, rather than shattering my attention and peace with everything under the sun screaming for my attention.

I hope to see stacks be added to this app, as that's an important part of how I use napkin, but what's here currently is elegant, useful, and beautiful.
