Getting started

Antinote on iPhone and iPad is a stack of notes: the newest is on top, swipe right for older ones, swipe left past the newest to start a new one, and everything else starts at the orb at the bottom of the screen.

Updated for iOS 1.65

Getting started

Design Intent: Never title, delete, organize or worry about a note. Antinote is a scratchpad: the newest note is always one swipe away, and old ones fade out on their own.

Your notes are a stack

  • Antinote opens on your newest note. Older notes sit behind it, oldest at the back.
  • Swipe right anywhere on the page to go back to the previous (older) note; swipe left to come forward again.
  • Swipe left past the newest note to start a new one. There is no "new note" button to find — though the orb has one too.
  • A note you leave empty is deleted the moment you swipe away from it.

The orb

  • The circle at the bottom of the screen is the orb. Tap it to open the menu: search, the latest note, actions for this note, and new notes from the clipboard, an image, the camera or audio.
  • Two smaller orbs appear beside it while the menu is open: Settings on the left, New note on the right.
  • The orb takes swipes too: up for a new note, right for the latest note, left for Select mode.
  • Details in The orb.

The quickbar

  • The bar above the keyboard is the quickbar. It holds the buttons you use most — special keyboards, checklists, dictation, text capture — and you choose what goes on it.
  • Details in The quickbar.

The first four notes

  • A fresh install comes with four short notes that teach by doing: a welcome, a list note with checkboxes, a math note with worked examples, and a note on variables. Swipe right through them; edit them, delete them, or let them auto-delete.
  • To see them again: Settings › System › Tutorials and warnings › Onboarding notes › Reset. They return on the next launch when the stack is empty.
