Awesome that it's free, open-source, and ad-free. My understanding is you have to pay to publish even free apps on the App store - are the devs providing this at their own expense?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Exploring the UI is a perfectly valid method of discovering functionality. What’s the alternative? The phone interrupting you every 2 steps saying hey by the way, you can also do this and this from here?

Valid, yes. But this should never be the sole method of discovery. Good UX provides clues to discovering additional functionality without intruding on the user. What’s the alternative? That’s a question for a UX team - something Apple can certainly afford.

This functionality is already built into the iPhone - in the Notes app, and also in the Files app. What does your software add?

Why is my first thought that this has a clever backdoor to find passwords and crypto keys?
