Write instantly like a simple note app and organize by category.
Notilus removes distractions so you can focus on ideas and capture every moment of inspiration.
I've always been a frequent user of Apple Notes.
I’ve loved its simplicity — no unnecessary features, just pure focus on writing.
But sometimes, creating folders felt a bit tedious,
and I wished I could see all my notes at a glance in a more organized way.
That’s where the idea came from.
I decided to build a simple note app that combines minimal writing with clear, visual categories.
While developing this app, my top priorities were simplicity and clarity.
I wanted users to jot down their thoughts instantly,
so I designed a bright red signature button for quick access,
and spent a lot of time refining the flow for organizing and viewing notes by category.
The overall writing experience was deeply inspired by
the clean and intuitive structure of Apple Notes.
It’s a small project, but one made with genuine care —
I hope it helps people capture their own moments of inspiration.
@octave_connect It looks clean and simple! Congrats on the launch and upvoted it. I think it would be cool if I don't have to find the app and launch it , but the note can be accessed as a widget - is that something you can support?
This looks super clean, @octave_connect ! I love the minimal design approach. Quick question does Notilus support syncing across devices or cloud backup yet, or is it currently focused on local note-taking only?

@chrishicken Thanks so much for your comment, Chris!
We actually just launched a subscription plan (around $1/month) that adds iCloud backup support as of yesterday!
As for cross-device syncing, it’s not available yet and we don’t have concrete plans for it at the moment.
Really appreciate your interest and kind words!
