Who this is for

For people who want a note they can read at a glance, Glassnote puts the whole note on your Home Screen, in glass.

  • This is you Any one of these is enough. You want a list you can read without opening an app: groceries, today's to-dos, a trip plan. Or you picked your wallpaper on purpose, and a grey widget ruins it. Or you already use Glassnote on your Mac.
  • This is not you You need reminders with due dates and alerts. Or you share lists with other people. Or you want folders, tags and databases. Glassnote is a sticky note.

Tap to check it off

Type - [ ] and you have a checklist. Tap the box when it is done.

Checked items can dim, get a line through them, or both. You pick.

A Glassnote note called Tokyo trip over a neon city photo. Bold labels for the flight and hotel, a Pack heading with a checklist, and an Eat heading with a list.

Markdown, minus the mess

Headings look like headings. Bold looks bold. The symbols hide until you need them.

Rather write plain text? Turn Markdown off in Settings.
