The free app covers the basic visible-note job

Create text notes and checklists, place unlimited widgets on your Home Screen, and keep your own devices in sync through iCloud. Basic Siri and Shortcuts integration is also included.

  • Three classic background colors and three fonts.
  • Control over alignment, text size, and rotation.
  • Home Screen placements for your own notes and lists.
  • iCloud sync on your own devices using the same Apple Account.

Premium adds styling and additional workflows

Upgrade when a specific feature is useful to you, such as a particular appearance or a note you want to pin before unlocking.

  • Custom colors and text colors, gradients, mesh gradients, patterns, and the expanded font selection.
  • Separate light and dark styling, plus saved appearance presets.
  • Lock Screen pinning using Live Activities and scheduled reminders.
  • Restoring archived notes and an ad-free experience.

Choose the feature before choosing a plan

If you only want three daily priorities on your Home Screen, start with the free app. If you want a styled pinned checklist or a saved appearance across many notes, review the relevant guide before deciding whether Premium fits.

Available subscription and one-time purchase options, prices, and terms are shown in the current purchase flow. Those details can vary by storefront and offer. Review them there rather than relying on an old screenshot’s price or promotional wording.

Existing purchases need an account check

If a feature you previously unlocked now appears unavailable, check the Apple Account used for the purchase and use the app’s purchase restoration or management controls where applicable.

Do not buy again simply to investigate an ownership question. Contact support with the feature, device, and purchase context. Avoid sending payment details or a password.

Common questions

Is a basic Home Screen checklist free?

Yes. The basic notes, lists, and Home Screen widget workflow is free.

Do Shortcuts actions unlock Premium features for free?

No. Basic note actions are free, but starting a Premium pinned Live Activity through an action still requires Premium access.

Where can I check the current price?

Open the app’s current purchase screen and review the price and terms for your storefront. This guide intentionally avoids fixed prices.
