Sometimes we need a powerful tool at our fingertips while taking a business meeting at work or writing annotations at school. But most of the times, you just need to do simple tasks. As simple as write down a short note.
Charles’ Notes is a notebook app – stripped down to the essentials of simple note-taking and writing.

Why?
Well, we believe in simplicity. To archive a clutter-free writing experience, we asked ourselves: “What does a notes app truly needs?” And the answer was pretty simple: Writing down ideas and keep them organized.
Clear type and fonts
Nothing is more frustrating than unreadable fonts in too small font-sizes. Let’s fix that. Charles’ Notes uses a big and clear typeface to ensure best readability experience.
Multitasking
Take notes while you are researching, reading a textbook or watching a lecture. You can use Charles in split-screen or fullscreen mode, depending on how the workflow.
Stay focused
Limitation empowers creation. With plain text as the only input, you will keep your hands on the keyboard and stay focused on the notes.
Privacy & safety
