Iconic Notes

This is the Home Screen of Iconic Notes. In the Home Screen you see your notes and folders displayed as icons, just like in the home screen of the iPhone. You can open a note or go into a folder by tapping the icons.

When you enter editing mode, you can reorganize your notes by dragging the icons around, rename icons, delete notes or folders or make copies of them. You can drop notes into folders or drag them back out into the parent folder.

When you navigate through the file system, you see your current directory displayed at the top of the screen.

This is the Icon Library, where you store your icons and templates. Icons are like factories that quickly produce notes with the icon you want. Tapping an icon takes you back to the home screen and creates a new note with the icon you selected. You can use one of the provided icons or create new icons from images in your photo library. Templates are like icons, but they also have text, and enable you to populate new notes with frequently used text like forms or numbered lists. You create templates by writing a note with the text you want and then adding the note as as a template to the Icon Library. Templates appear with orange titles.

But what about the notes themselves? After all, that’s what the app is for isn’t it? The note editing is also superbly designed in true Hoofien spirit. In the Note Screen you can view or edit your note. You can work in either portrait or landscape mode, choose any font size in any of 10 fonts, and create a palette of up to 50 custom colors for text and background. You can also set the paper background – plain, rule lines or squares. In Version 2.1 we added a new feature: LISTS. You can automatically and easily create check-lists, numbered lists or bullet lists. Great for managing daily tasks, shopping and other productivity-type organization of your life.

Web sharing, added in Version 2.0, allows you to easily upload and download notes to the app over wi-fi from any web browser running on your desktop or laptop computer on the local network. You can also upload image files to add to your icon library, or upload or download entire folders of notes as ZIP archive files. And, amazingly, you can even edit the text of a note through your web browser without going through the hassle of downloading and saving the text, then uploading it again! (We think no other app has this awesome and very useful capability). Here are a couple of screenshots:
