This is not your typical notes app!

In simpler times, if someone had a thought, they might jot it down in a notebook. If they had another thought, it would go right below the earlier one. No need for organizing, tagging, editing, or correcting old mistakes. If something became distracting, or if it was a TODO item that was done, it could just be crossed out.
This app is that: a note taking app reminiscent of pen and paper, where the only form of organization was the sequence the notes were written in. With Appended, if you have a thought, you append it to your only ongoing note. If some entry is no longer relevant, you can cross it out, or delete it, but there is no temptation – because there’s no ability – to edit or organize.
Appended differs from a paper notebook in only two ways:
- Notes are (optionally) rendered in markdown, allowing you to emphasize, embolden, or italicize text, or add links to websites you come across
- Notes are full searchable, making it much easier to find something you wrote months ago buried among all your other great ideas
Other great features:
- Encrypted notes sync securely across all your devices (requires iCloud)
- Create notes using Siri by simply saying “Create a note using Appended”
- View or add notes straight from your Apple Watch
- Easily toggle markdown
- Optionally hide entries that don’t match your search results for a cleaner view, or show them to provide some extra context
- Strikethrough notes that are no longer important to you, or optionally hide them. Easily toggle whether they’re included in search results
- Share individual notes
- Copy notes to your clipboard
Features Appended does NOT have:
- Complicated organization that makes you wonder where you’ve put old notes
- Super flexible organization that makes you feel guilty when you just need to write something down so you don’t forget it
- Temptation to make everything perfect
- Todo lists that grow faster than you can manage, resulting in you never using it anymore
- Complicated sorting
- Editing existing notes
