Simple Notepad is a simple notepad that lets you organize growing collections of notes your way.
A PLACE FOR EVERY NOTE
Keep notes and folders together on Home. Create nested folders, drag to reorder, or drop a note into a folder. Select multiple notes to move, color, pin or lock them together.
COLORS THAT HELP YOU FIND THINGS
Give the whole note one of six gentle colors. Pin important notes to the top of Home. Search note text across folders, with parent folders and paths kept in view.
YOUR FIRST LINE STAYS A NORMAL LINE
Write without an automatic heading. Add strikethrough, count selected characters, or copy without formatting. Reorder standard actions such as Copy and Paste alongside custom actions. Extra actions added by iOS, such as Translate and Writing Tools, stay together as a configurable group.
NOTES ON YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREENS
Display note text in widgets. Choose a folder and then a note, adjust the text size, or hide the content. Locked notes cannot be selected.
PROTECT THE NOTES YOU CHOOSE
Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Search locked notes after authentication. Notes lock again after five minutes without interaction, when the device locks, or when the app exits.
