    I was reading it as "joon note" originally! I only realized I was misreading it when coming back to the comments. If you wanted to change up the name, maybe "June Note"? It has a nice ring to it IMO, and doesn't stray too far from your original name. Nature-y too, which seems to be a bit of a theme.

    Really nice job on the app though! I think written-beyond's comment says more than enough: you've made what should be a default feature, that no one had thought to make.

      lol, yeah...about the name..I think it's too late to change it now? Didn't realize it sounded a certain way until much later.. I wanted it to be "Zuunote" but it was already taken by my other project, so "Joonote" sounded closest to it to my mind at the time...yeah crap haha

    My god it's the perfect app.

    I've never said YES BUY immediately after reading a title before but this is it.

    My phone frequently gets cluttered with tens of different note taking, calendar, Todo type apps because I am literally trying to solve this exact problem.

    When I need to make a note I need something instant and now, but which lets me set an alarm/reminder with it too. I am a forgetful person, I find it extremely difficult to remember which notes app I am using because I usually drop them because they're never really solving my problem.

    Thank you for this. I am going to install it and try it out over the week, if it's experience lives up to your description/screenshots then you have an immediate customer.

    I don't think you should name it that...
    • kilgarenone 15 minutes ago
      yeah damn it. I don't want to say it, but I know it sounds like that lol

    Cool idea, lock screen notes actually solve a real annoyance. But yeah, you might want to rethink the name—it’s likely to turn people off before they even try it.

    Funny, it doesn’t look jooish

    Great demo video as well, I appreciated that it didn't waste time. I'll echo the comments here though, the name doesn't sit well with some audiences.

      ya I'm totally open to change it, but do you think its too late now?

    Simple idea, right surface. Lock screen is the most underused real estate on a phone. Curious how you handle the note limit before it gets cluttered.

    That is a poor choice of naming. Sounds like JewNote.

      ya...totally didn't occur to me. Probably would've been obvious to me if English was my first language..

      I was going to say that too. Perhaps it came from a non-native English speaker. Please change it.

      I like the idea, if it's actually safe and you can't use this to get into your phone through some tricky means like a buffer overrun.

        As a non native speaker, it never crossed my mind and I was quite confused at the first comments...

    I believe the politically correct phrasing would be Jooishnote.

    First they controlled Hollywood.

    Then they controlled all of Politics.

    Then they controlled when we went to war.

    Now you want them to control your notes???

    /s but “Joo” is filterspeak for “Jews”. Sounds antisemitic as fuck.

    • kilgarenone 2 minutes ago
      oh man, I swear it had nothing to do with Jews lol. But now i know how it sounds like. Sorry! love you all.
    • mireofthedeep 3 hours ago
      Joo is also Finnish for "yes" or "yep", name sounds like "yes-note".

        You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers
