NoteBay
Floating notes, always on top
Free · In‑App Purchases
Notes with folders, colors, checklists and images, synced through your own iCloud. No account and no subscription, one purchase for iPhone and Mac.
NoteBay keeps your notes on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. There is no account to create and no subscription to pay.
Jotted down on the go.
An address, a thought for later: the home screen widget starts a new note with one tap. Later, full-text search finds it again, whichever folder it ended up in.
A note is more than a text box.
You write in blocks: paragraph, heading, bulleted list, numbered list, checklist, quote, divider, code and image. Type "- " or "[] " and you get a bullet or a checklist right away, no menu needed. Text can be bold, italic, strikethrough or inline code, and links stay links. A whole note can take one of nine colors so you spot it in the list without reading a word.
Room to keep things in order.
Nest folders as deep as you like. Favorites for what you use often, an archive for what is done, and deleted notes wait 30 days in the trash before they go (you can change the period). Any single note can be shared as Markdown or saved to Files.
Written on the iPhone, continued on the Mac.
Everything goes through your own iCloud, and there is nothing to set up. NoteBay works offline and syncs when you are back online, block by block: change one paragraph on the iPhone and another on the Mac, and there is no conflict.
On the Mac, any note can float as its own window above the app you are working in, half transparent and always on top. That is also where tables and the full library export live, and where you can open your library to AI assistants through a local MCP server, folder by folder and only when you allow it. Tables made on the Mac are shown on the iPhone.
No subscription and no ads, now or later.
NoteBay is free for up to 10 notes, with every feature included. After that, a single purchase unlocks the library for iPhone and Mac together, Family Sharing included.
