Sticky notes, reimagined for your pocket.
Notations keeps the familiar sticky-note feel — quick, colorful, and always within reach. Jot a thought, drag it around, and let it live right where you left it. No clutter, no fuss.
Pin your notes to the Home Screen with widgets so your reminders, lists, and little sparks of inspiration are visible before you even open the app. Your thoughts, front and center.
Give every note its own hue. Assign colors to categories, moods, or projects so you can spot what matters at a glance. A wall of notes has never looked this good.
Search across all your notes in a heartbeat. Whether it's a grocery list from last month or a genius idea from five minutes ago, it's never more than a tap away.
Your notes stay with you across your devices, so you can start a thought on your phone and pick it up wherever you are next. No saving buttons, no manual syncing — just your notes, always current.
Got a note for your eyes only? Keep sensitive thoughts and details protected so they stay exactly where you intended.

Notations is designed from the ground up for iOS — smooth gestures, snappy performance, and a look that feels right at home on your device. It's sticky notes the way they were always meant to feel: light, fast, and a little bit delightful.
A picture is worth a thousand words — so here's a quick visual tour of notations. Screenshots are the fastest way to see how the app actually feels in your hands.
Your notes, front and center. The main screen greets you with every sticky note laid out just the way you like it — colorful, scannable, and ready to tap. New notes appear the moment you create them, so you always know exactly where everything lives.
Capture a thought in seconds. Tap to add a new note and start typing right away. No setup screens, no hoops to jump through — just you and your idea, together at last. The screenshot below shows the blank canvas waiting for your first word.
Make it yours. Colors, sizes, and placement all live at your fingertips. A couple of taps turn a plain yellow square into something that matches your mood and your workflow — and it stays that way.
Find anything, fast. Scroll, search, and skim. The layout is built so your eyes do the work, and the notes you need are never more than a swipe away.
Feels right at home on iOS. Native gestures, familiar interactions, and a look that blends in with the rest of your device. It's the sticky note experience you already know, reimagined for the screen in your pocket.
