For iPhone, iPad and Mac.

A calm place to write

The same notebook on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with separate colour schemes for the light and the dark appearance. The shots follow the appearance you pick in the header.

On the Mac a window you can keep beside your work — or summon over it from any app with a shortcut you choose.

What Kajet does

Pages, not documents

A frictionless list of pages with automatic saving. Give a page a name of your own, or let the first line become its title.

Optional Markdown formatting

Turn formatting on when structure helps: headings, bold, lists and code look the part as you type. Turn it off and Kajet is a plain-text editor. Either way the text stays easy to edit.

Order that fits your work

Pin the pages that matter and drag them into the order you like. On iPhone and iPad you can also sort by date or title and clear out several pages at once.

Find in page

One key highlights every match as you type and counts them, and stepping through them wraps around. The search ignores case and accents, so “zamkniete” still finds “zamknięte”.

Writing tools, not distractions

A formatting bar for bold, italic, code, headings, lists and tasks on iPhone and iPad, live word, character and line counts, and an editor font and size you choose.

Colours for light and dark

Monochrome, Xcode and Material palettes, picked separately for the light and the dark appearance, so the editor suits the hour you are writing at.

Instant capture on Mac

Open Kajet from the menu bar or summon it from any app with a global shortcut you choose. Keep it above other windows when you need a scratchpad.

Export, share and print

Send a page to any app as a Markdown or plain-text file, export it to disk on Mac, and print it as clean black-on-white text — AirPrint included on iPhone and iPad.

Optional iCloud sync

Keep pages in sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud storage — or switch sync off and stay entirely local.

Deliberately less

Kajet is small on purpose. Everything it leaves out is one thing fewer between you and the page.

  • Nothing competes for attention

    No feed, no ads, no badges, no streaks, no notifications asking you to come back. You open Kajet when you have something to write, and close it when you are done.

  • Fewer features, fewer decisions

    No filenames, no save button, no folders to maintain, no formats to choose between. The app never makes you stop and administer it.

  • Small, so it is fast

    Written in Swift with SwiftUI and TextKit 2, with no web layer and no third-party dependencies. Formatting only ever redraws the text that changed, so a long page stays as quick as an empty one.

Keyboard shortcuts

Everything a page can do has a key. With a hardware keyboard you can write, search, rearrange and clean up a whole notebook without reaching for the pointer.

  • ⌥⌘ moves you between pages, ⌃⌘ moves the page. The pairing is deliberate, so the map is learnable instead of a list to memorise.
  • No page shortcut takes a key the text system already uses: ⌘S, ⌘W, ⌘M and every Command-arrow keep their usual meaning while the caret is in your text. ⌘F, ⌘G and ⌘P keep theirs by genuinely finding and printing.
  • The same shortcuts work on iPad with a hardware keyboard — hold ⌘ to see them. On the Mac, the ⓘ button in the toolbar shows the list at any time.

Questions people ask

Most of them are about what Kajet does not do. Those are the answers worth reading first.

Who is Kajet for?

For people who write in short bursts all day: a thought in the middle of a meeting, a command worth keeping, the draft of a message, a list before the shops. If you want a notebook that opens instantly and never asks you anything, Kajet is for you. If you are looking for a research database with backlinks, nested notebooks and plugins, it honestly is not — and that is fine.

Why is Kajet a paid app?

Because somebody pays for every app, and it should be you rather than an advertiser or a data broker. You buy Kajet once, updates are included, and there are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. That is also why there is no advertising, no analytics and no tracking: the app has no business model that would need them.

Does one purchase cover all my devices?

Yes. Kajet is a single app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, so one purchase in your Apple Account covers all three. Optional iCloud sync then keeps the same pages on each of them.

Why is it so simple?

Every feature costs something: a button, a setting, a moment of hesitation before you type. Kajet leaves out what a notebook does not need, so what remains is immediate. The simplicity is the feature, not a gap waiting to be filled.

Why are there no folders, tags or notebooks?

A flat list of pages is faster than any hierarchy you would have to maintain. Pin what matters, drag pages into the order you like, and search titles and contents when the list grows long. Organising a notebook is not writing.

Do I have to write in Markdown?

No. Markdown formatting is a switch. Turn it on and headings, bold, lists and code stand out as you type; turn it off and Kajet is a plain-text editor. Either way a page is just text — the markup is never hidden from you and never converted into something else.

Is what I write private?

Yes. Kajet has no accounts and no sign-in, collects no data, and contains no analytics, advertising or third-party code. Pages live on your device and, only if you turn sync on, in your own private iCloud storage that nobody else — the developer included — can read.

Can I get my text out again?

Always. Share or export any page as a Markdown or plain-text file to any app, and print it on the Mac. What you write is text on your own device, not a proprietary format inside a service you have to keep paying for.

Will Kajet get more features?

It will keep getting better at what it already does: speed, reliability and the small details of writing. Requests are welcome and read carefully — but “no” is a normal answer here, because keeping the app small is a feature that has to be defended.
