How it works

One tap, one box, save. Nothing in between.

Quick Notes is a one tap note app in the literal sense: the field already sits in its widget on the Home screen of Listub, so there’s no room to pick, no title to invent and no menu between the thought and the text. It’s built as a quick capture app, and catching a thought takes a couple of seconds.

Try it

An app to write down ideas quickly. Go on, try it.

Type anything and press Enter. It lands on the board the way it does on your Home screen: up to 500 characters a note, up to 30 notes on the board. Then move one into Note Base, copy it or throw it away.

Save now, decide later

Save now. Decide later. Or never.

Most people already use a note to self app of some kind: a message sent to themselves, a photo of a whiteboard, a line at the top of the shopping list. Quick Notes puts all of it in one spot that doesn’t scroll away, and nothing has to be filed on the way in.

    Empty your head

    Use it as a brain dump app at the end of a long day: six unrelated things out of your head in a minute, then sleep.

    What Note Base can do

Small on purpose

Small on purpose, like scrap paper.

A digital scratchpad should look like scrap paper, not a document: plain text, one quiet box and a list short enough to read at a glance. Anything you want to keep for good belongs in a Note Base room.

  • 500characters in a note
  • 30notes on the board
  • No bindeleting is for good
  • Just youprivate, never shared

Is this scratchpad app free?

Yes. Quick Notes is on the free plan, like every module in Listub, and Listub sells no ads.

Is there an app to jot down thoughts without organizing them?

Yes, that is what Quick Notes is for. There are no folders, no tags and no title field: just the field, the save button and the short list of what you have already written.

How long can a quick note be, and how many can I keep?

Up to 500 characters each, and up to 30 notes on the board at a time. It is a holding area on purpose; anything worth keeping for good belongs in a Note Base room.

Can I turn a quick note into a real note?

Yes. Move it into a Note Base room and the text goes with it, so you never retype anything. The quick note is removed once the move is done.

Can I get a deleted quick note back?

No. Deleting a quick note is permanent and there is no bin, so move anything you might still need into Note Base first.

Does it work offline?

Yes. A note is saved on your device the moment you tap save, and it syncs on its own once you are back online.

Can I share a quick note with someone?

Not directly: Quick Notes stays private to you. Move the note into a Note Base room first; sharing your own rooms is part of Premium, and the people you invite join free.

Is it on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Quick Notes sits on the Home screen of Listub on iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac.
