Quick Note Taking – Type 4+

It's hard to get a feel for what this app does from the description and the Screen Shots. In short, you can create a text file with this app and add entries to it very quickly through its efficient streamlined interface.

What the description doesn't tell you is the details of how this works. You can choose to save the text file anywhere you like. Or you can choose an existing text file for this app to manage and update. Note: When selected an existing file, the OS will warn you that you are about to overwrite the file. This isn't the case. The app will not overwrite the file, but rather add it to its list of text files that it is managing which you can select from its UI. Then you can quickly make entries into any of the text files you've told it about.
Very clever idea and an app I didn't know I needed, but now love.

Thank you very much for this amazing review!

I will definitely improve the description and screenshots based on your feedback!

While I still need to bake my habit a bit more, Type provides a seamless interface to getting your thoughts out of your head so you can focus on the task at hand without worrying you'll forget your thought or becoming distracted.

Thank you for the nice review! :)

I’ve been looking for a way to replace the Tot app as my primary scratch pad, and this app largely fills that need. There’s always a balance with apps like this between power and simplicity, and right now it is firmly on the simple side of that spectrum. I’m hoping the developers can add a couple small features to make it more powerful while keeping it simple. My primary need would be to be able to control the text file when you update it. For instance, since I primarily use this with Markdown, I’d love to be able to put a # in front of date stamps in order to make that a header tag, thus managing that file more easily (e.g. if I open it in Obsidian, having that tag would create a more easily-navigable outline). Ideally, this would take the form of a panel in the settings pane that allows custom scripting with bash, python, javascript, or even regex.

Thank you for the detailed review! I added your feedback to my backlog! Nicolas
