A quiet space for your thoughts
Not another productivity tool with folders and tags. My Next: Note gives you a blank page and gets out of the way.
Capture fast
Open the app, start typing. No setup, no categories, no templates. Just a blank page ready for your thoughts. Rich text formatting when you want it.
Find anything
Full-text search across all your notes. Your thoughts are always retrievable, no matter how many notes you have.
Think freely
No rigid structure imposed. Write stream-of-consciousness, make bullet lists, or format with bold and italic. The app adapts to how you think.
Private by default
No account or email address required. Notes are stored locally, with optional transfers to your paired Apple Watch. No ads or advertising tracking. Optional product analytics helps us understand general app and feature usage without collecting your note content. Turn it off in Settings; subscription processing remains separate.

Apple Watch
Your thoughts. On your wrist.
Browse notes and notebooks, then scroll with the Digital Crown. Pinning and sort order follow your iPhone settings.
Tap the round plus button to capture a thought with system dictation or available text input. Saved notes wait on your watch when your devices are disconnected, then transfer to your iPhone when they reconnect. Dictation itself may need internet access.
The watch is for reading and capture. Use your iPhone or iPad to edit, search, organize notes, or check off checklist items.
User guide
Step-by-step walkthroughs for the most common workflows.
Getting started on Apple Watch
Enable Apple Watch in Note's settings on your iPhone and let the first sync finish. Open Note on your watch, choose All Notes or a notebook, and scroll a note with the Digital Crown.
To create a note, return to the library and tap the round plus button. Use Apple's dictation or another available input method, then save. Input methods and dictation languages depend on your watch and its settings, not just Note's app language. Dictation may require internet access.
New notes receive a date-and-time title. After transfer, they appear in the Apple Watch system notebook, directly below All Notes. It is created when needed, appears only while it contains notes, and does not count toward your notebook limit. Move notes to another notebook or All Notes on your iPhone.
Saved captures are queued locally while your devices are disconnected. Keep Note enabled on both devices so they can transfer when connected again. The video below demonstrates reading and opening text input; it does not demonstrate a completed dictation or transfer.
