Proper filenames. Renders beautifully, readable as plain text.

Compact, readable formatting with clear separators.

Cleaner Interface

Less words. More focus. Same constraint philosophy you rely on.

Constraint as liberation

1 + 10

One active thought + Maximum 10 archived notes

"Other apps want you to save everything forever. We think that for a thinking tool, that's the problem, not the solution."

Is this for everyone?

Probably not.

This is for thinkers who:

Every other note app enables digital hoarding. NoteToSelf forces decisions. No folders. No tags. No organizational anxiety. Just you, your current thoughts, and the intentional constraint of 1+10.

One-time purchase. Constrain your notes. Liberate your thinking.

How it works

Constraint as feature, not limitation. Forces clarity through deliberate restriction.

Natural interactions

Swipe right to archive your current thought. Swipe left to delete it permanently. Shake to undo deletions.

Auto-save

Protects every keystroke. Premium haptic feedback for every interaction. Perfect dark mode integration.

Export when needed

Export your archive as plain text when needed. Tap to edit, hold to share individual thoughts.

Focus over organization

No folders, tags, or complex organization — just focus on processing thoughts rather than organizing them.

Why it exists

Other apps want you to save everything forever. Infinite folders, unlimited tags, endless organization systems. They think more features means better tools.

NoteToSelf thinks the opposite. One active note forces you to process instead of hoard. Ten archived thoughts means you make decisions about what actually matters.

One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No premium tiers. Just the app, working, forever. Built with iOS 26 Liquid Glass design because beautiful matters too.

One active note. Ten maximum archived.

One-time purchase. Lifetime access.
