Tot Pocket

Love this app. Just wish I could hide the UI.

Doesn’t sync reliably between iPhone and MacBook

I’m so glad I discovered this app - it’s so handy for quickly collecting snippets of information throughout the day - either on my iPad, iPhone or Mac desktop. The iCloud syncing is really quick so I’m always up to date on either device! Being a small lightweight package it loads and runs very quickly on all my devices and is a joy to use!

please fix - 5 star but nil if it doesn't syn

Ok. So this app is crazy expensive on mobile. I have to say I don’t know why. The thing is - it’s that damned useful I’ve never regretted for a second spending the money I did. I LOVE this app. It’s only really worth it if you are all in on Apple and have desktop/iPad and iPhone. That way your notes sync seamlessly and effortlessly between. I dare say it’s bad practice - but for work I have to change my O365 password with a complex password monthly. I use Tot to keep a copy handy and it’s a lifesaver. I also have some formatted text handy that I need to copy and paste now and again. I heard about this app on TWiT and have to say wasn’t expecting much - but it’s now something I use multiple times a day and couldn’t do without. Thanks Icon Factory. This is a surprising win!

While this app seems a little expensive, for me it has been well worth every cent, I use it multiple times every day. It's a great scratchpad for text, does a brilliant job of converting rich text to Markdown on the fly and vice-versa. It's always there, super easy to use. The macOS version of Tot is FREE, so add that in to your calculations. The iOS and Mac version work seamlessly together, I've yet to have a single problem with syncing. I also use the Mac app every day, and rely on it to quickly and reliably move text between the two platforms. I love it so much it's now in my iPad dock. Wouldn't be without it.

If you are all in on Apple Devices and need a place to jot things down quickly and without cluttering your notes or the full overhead of a to do app, this little utility is wonderful. I use it every day. It’s elegant and a pleasure to work with.

I rarely write reviews, but I am here to evangelize because Tot has changed my life, no exaggeration. I started using Tot only on MacBook initially, and it worked excellently as a little text holder or spot to start drafting a thought. I think the menu bar quick access and hands-free nature makes it stick better than other apps for me. I didn’t start to really use the heck out of Tot until I realized there was an iPhone and iPad app. I think having access across all of my devices, in addition to the high quality design and function of Tot, is well worth $20. Syncing across devices is instant. New features come out occasionally, and they are well thought out, not at all overwhelming, and never cause functionality issues. I think Tot serves a different function than any other note app system — I love Tot because it is the perfect pre-note app. How many of us have dozens, if not hundreds, of individual (abandoned) notes in our preferred notes app with a single word/thought, lost in the mix and bogging down the notes app that otherwise begs for organization and structure in order to be used to its maximum capabilities? Tot bridges a gap I never realized I had in my personal note-taking system by giving me a clean placeholder for those in-between thoughts or links or passcodes or whatever, and the finite number of pages forces me to clean up and organize regularly. I wouldn’t dare ask for one more dot… As someone who can never nail down my workflow to one device or app, who benefits from the lower stakes/ease of use that comes with limited formatting options, and who always has a lot of irons in the fire, Tot is a lifesaver for me. I really appreciate the devs who made this tool!

Fantastic suite of apps. I use Tot to keep “quick reference” notes easily accessible and synced across my devices. Love it!

The app encourages you to drop your “mess” into it, and it’s a thoughtful and useful app for sorting and storing, but there’s no way to search your data. I’m sorry I didn’t realize this before buying it. It’s such an elementary part of dealing with data! I doubt search will ever arrive for Tot, it’s not updated very often, and they probably would have included it from the get-go if they could. Nice app otherwise, but if you want to search your “mess,” you’ll have to export it to another app. I’m switching my data to Apple Notes.
