We’ve just released Popt Notes, a new app built around a simple idea: everyday notes should be quick to capture, plain text at the core, but still smart enough to recognize what matters — dates, people, places, and to-dos.

We’ve made it super simple to try Popt:

  • No sign up
  • 100% free
  • Just download and get started

Popt is still young. Right now, it’s:

  • iPhone only
  • English only
  • Local only — no sync or cloud storage yet

We believe the best way to build the right tool is together with the people who actually use it. If you’re already jotting down to-dos, reminders, shopping lists, baby names, or travel plans on your phone, we’d love for you to try Popt and tell us where it helps — and where it falls short.

What you’ll find today:

  • Super streamlined interface to quickly jot down ideas and to-dos
  • Collect multiple notes in pages, great for journalling
  • As-you-type tag suggestions for dates, contacts and places
  • Dates that turn into reminders and appear in an agenda-like timeline
  • All to-dos collected automatically in one place
  • Contacts and places that get their own cards, linking together all your mentions
  • 100+ fun and colourful stickers to personalize your Popt pages

All text analysis is done on device so your notes stay 100% private. And from day one, you can share and backup your Popt pages as text files, fully compatible with tools like Obsidian. No lock-in, simple to use, and respectful of your privacy.

We’re at the very beginning of Popt’s journey. If you want to be part of shaping a new kind of notes app — one that starts simple, grows carefully, and always puts your text first — download Popt and join us.

This is just the start!
