NeatNotes

Note-taking for iPhone and iPad with iCloud sync and no subscriptions

About NeatNotes

NeatNotes is a focused note-taking app for iPhone and iPad that stores notes in Apple's CloudKit, so they sync automatically across your devices with your Apple ID and are never held on the developer's servers. There is no account to create, and the business model is a single one-time purchase after a free trial period instead of a subscription.
