JustNotes

A simple, yet powerful notes app

JustNotes lets you organize all your day to day note takings in a simple and intuitive manner. It is simple to use but sports some mighty features which will make your life easier. More than anything, you need not download another note taking app on your device as its available in your browser and also available when you are offline.

So relax, sit back, do the noting while we take care of the rest.
