Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel
I finally built this app after many years of being sick of unlocking my phone every goddamn time I need to take or view my notes. It particularly sucks when I'm doing my grocery and going down the list. I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded".

Zoonote, among other things, offers the fastest way to create, view, or edit your notes, to-do lists, and reminders directly on the lock screen and notification panel—no unlocking your phone to search for the app—so you can stay in the flow and never miss a thing.

Create Lists For shopping, cooking, step-by-step guides, or just to check things off your lists. Access your lists…from joonote.com
