Scratch your own itch always work! Then there is the extra mile of making it work for everyone else, and making it look great. My fiance helped me a lot on the former. She has a lovely taste in color picking!

It's fast. Data is local first. So even with low/no internet connexion you'll always have fast access to your data ;)

Hi!

Apple notes is not available to quickly access from iMessage or a custom keyboard. And copy/paste is also a treat in security because: - any app can take the content of your pasteboard, and the pasteboard is shared without consent with other devices sharing the same iCloud account.

My app uses a local storage for the data, and just like notes, put the content over iCloud sync. This allow to prevent losing data when deleting the app. But still provide privacy for the data you put in the app.

Final thoughts: this is not a password manager either. But in my thoughts, something you end up sharing to some folks needs privacy, but not the security of a password manager !

I'm sadly less into Android development. My other app would be the first to get an Android adaptation I think.

For this one, it relies a lot on iOS extensions, that I know about. Not sure what this concept would look like on Android, although I'm sure that the possibilities might be even more flexible on Android than it is on iOS.
