Transom Note-Taker for Writers +4

Can tell writers made this.

Great app for writers, especially those of us who have our best thoughts just before drifting off to sleep. Can't fumble for pen and paper in the dark, but can open this app and quickly capture the thought before it's lost (because let's be real—you're not gonna remember it when you wake up). Easy to note ideas for plots, names, outlines, and even write quick snippets before they leave your brain. Tags and projects make this much handier than the generic Notes app when it comes to writing-related notes. Thank you for this great app.

Aw, shucks! Thanks so much for that kind review. We are very grateful that you’ve found transom useful. Best of luck, writer!

Almost perfect / update

I was looking for the right notebook app and having no luck, until I happened upon Transom and realized those other, more cluttered apps aren’t what I need at all. Transom removes the friction between your thoughts and recording them, making it fluid, easy, and useful. After all, the best app is not always the most complex or feature-heavy, it’s the one you’ll actually use. For me, Transom is it. Why not 5 stars? Well, very little in life is perfect. Still, this app might achieve it if it allowed exports by tag (rather than the whole shebang), and if it were updated for the most recent iOS and phones. (I am a bit concerned it’s become abandonware).

Update: not going to knock it a star or anything - it’s still a good product - but I’m not interested in creating a new login (the reasons behind the login are not personally convincing enough for me) yet it appears I can’t liberate my data without first doing so. Which is kinda sucky.

Update 2: upon getting in, notes were all doubled up. Also: no apparent way to change associated email / password once set (although I presume you can change the password, at least, if you use the ‘forgot’ link - the email I guess you’re stuck with).

Thanks for your feedback! I promise Transom is not abandonware, and our *very* small team is hard at work on the next update to the app. (Alas, export by tag won't be a part of that release, but I do hope to make Export more robust in the near future.)

Again, thanks for your review -- it means a lot that writers are actively engaged in the making of this little app.

One a the best note apps! A few flaws though

I love this! It’s super easy to create notes and I like how you can categorize things by both tags and projects, it’s really helpful for me since I have many ocs and multiple stories I’m planning. One thing I’d really like to suggest is images- often i find an image that gives me an idea but since I can’t put it in transom I either have to put it in my default notes app or have it get lost in my photos. There’s two bugs I also noticed, sometimes while writing a note my app crashes and if it didn’t autosave all of it I have to rewrite part of the note. Also pressing and holding on a tag in the tags page the app immediately crashes. I use an ipad on the latest version! I really hope the developers see this :)
