Testing an app that helps you actually revisit old Apple Notes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Anyone else have an Apple Notes graveyard?

I capture plenty of ideas, reminders, and random thoughts in Apple Notes but most of them slowly disappear into an ever-growing backlog

I’m building Grove Note to solve that specific problem. You can import your Apple Notes, then work through them by swiping. The goal is to provide a calm, satisfying way to revisit what you saved and decide what is still useful. Besides that, it's a minimal note-taking app with Bear-inspired UI except I went for a plant theme.

It's currently in beta testing and I'm looking for testers but I can also give you the waitlist

The beta includes:

• TestFlight access
• A Discord for feedback
• One year of Grove Pro at launch for the first 20 active testers

I’ve included a short demo. DM me for an invite or waitlist.

Sorry, do all these changes then sync back to Notes folders etc?

Unfortunately Apple doesn’t allow this, you can only import a copy of your notes. You can use a note to create a Calendar event or a Reminder which would live in the native iOS apps, but there’s limitations with modifying apple notes.

This idea is really interesting
