Write a thought right when it hits you.

Notes is always in the background, waiting for a thought to hit you. Use:

There is something wonderful in writing.

We believe it's the ability of words to create emotionally,

inspiring and thrilling stories.

Notes was created on top of that belief.

It's your place to express yourself.
