Driftwood Notes

Notes that find you again

• Catch it in one step

  Open the app, tap once, write. There is no title field, no tags, no formatting, no save button. Your note lands in Driftwood, the collection that is always there, and it is kept the moment you stop typing.

• Sort it later, not now

  Collections are flat and simple — no folders inside folders. Move a note into a collection whenever you feel like it. Nothing is locked in place.

• Set the rhythm

  Every collection carries its own rhythm. Every few hours, a set number of times a day, or on a short interval — you decide how often a collection washes back up. Notifications are scheduled locally on your device, so they keep working with no connection at all.

• Keep your quiet hours

  Quiet hours are profiles you set up once and reuse across collections. Several windows per profile, crossing midnight if you want, and optionally limited to certain weekdays. Your evening stays yours.

• It finds you again

  A notification shows the note. Tap it and you are at the full text, right where you left it.

• Yours, and only yours

  No account. No cloud. No trackers. Everything lives in a local database on your device. You can export all of your data — collections, notes, rhythms and quiet hours — as a single XML file through the standard share sheet, and import it again, replacing or adding to what is there.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 15.0 or later. Also runs on Mac via Mac Catalyst (macOS 15.0 or later).
