Alright everyone, I have updated the website to show the phonetic notation below the app name in the header to roughly convey what I intended it to sound like: /ˈzhooːnoʊt/
Didn't mean to be insensitive or anything here. I apologize if I offended anyone here.

I appreciate the ability to rapidly capture a note/thought/todo without friction and context switching.
I solved this problem with a twilio sms number. When I send a text to it, the content gets prepended to my obsidian todo.md file. This was easy to arrange with a few lines of Python glue.
iOS makes it easy to text or share to sms from almost any context.

I don't think you should name it that...

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 just woke up, and this made my day! Thanks! Feel free to reach out to me about whatever :)

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"(like zoo-note but domain taken) but it was already taken by my other project, so "Joonote" sounded closest to it to my mind at the time...yeah crap haha
It will definitely come in handy when it is much needed.
The video walk-through is solid.
It seems like a genuinely good app which does what it says it does.
Great job!

As a native English speaker who had to Google joonish to see what people were talking about, what is the big issue with the name?
hermanzegerman 2 hours ago [-]
They think it sounds too similar to jew.
But I don't know why that would be offensive in that context

Any plans on possibly making the notes be local markdown files similar to how Obsidian does it?

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.

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.
kilgarenone 7 hours ago [-]
ya I'm totally open to change it, but do you think its too late now?
sam345 3 hours ago [-]
Not too late. Just change it.
ashwinnair99 10 hours ago [-]
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.

You can turn on the "Combine Notifications" setting in the Settings page. This will have the individual notifications live under a single so-called summary notication.

That is a poor choice of naming. Sounds like JewNote.
kilgarenone 7 hours ago [-]
ya...totally didn't occur to me. Probably would've been obvious to me if English was my first language..
--_-- 10 hours ago [-]
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.
mireofthedeep 10 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
kilgarenone 6 hours ago [-]
I'm not a native english speaker. Totally didn't occur to me. My tongue somehow rolled like "zoo-note" to my mind at the time lol

I am a native English speaker and it has taken me reading all these comments about the name and a Google search to figure out people are equating joo with Jew. I still don't get what the issue is...

> I still don't get what the issue is...
The word "jew" (as a verb) has roots in stereotypes about Jewish people and money; it's an ethnic slur. The word "jew" (instead of "a Jew" or "Jewish") is a dismissive insult. The word itself isn't inherently offensive, but it's often weaponized in English, which is why it has a lot of historical baggage that makes people very wary when they see it.

oh man, I swear it had nothing to do with Jews lol. But now i know how it sounds like. Sorry! love you all.
