## The app store tax

Most note-taking apps require an App Store download - a 300 MB install, an account, permissions, and updates. By the time you're ready to write, the thought is gone. There has to be a better way.

## A real app, from your browser

Cimanote is a Progressive Web App. Visit the URL, tap “Add to Home Screen,” and you have a standalone app with its own icon, splash screen, and full-screen experience. It launches instantly, works offline, and updates itself in the background.

One codebase. Every platform. Always the latest version.

## Works on everything

- iPhone / iPad (iOS)  
- Android (Android)  
- macOS (Mac)  
- Windows (PC)  
- ChromeOS (Chromebook)  
- Linux (Linux)

## Built for your thumbs

Bottom navigation keeps every action within reach. The editor is touch-optimized with large tap targets, smooth scrolling, and a responsive layout that adapts from a 4-inch phone to a 27-inch monitor.

### Bottom navigation

Notebooks, search, and settings are always one thumb-tap away.

### Touch-optimized editor

Large toolbar buttons, swipe gestures, and smooth selection handles.

### Responsive layout

Sidebar on desktop, full-screen on mobile. The same app adapts to your screen.

## How people use it

### Commuter

#### Priya

Opens the app on the subway and edits her meeting prep. No signal underground? Doesn't matter. Notes sync the moment she surfaces.

### Student on a budget

#### Marcus

Uses an older Android phone and a school Chromebook. Same app on both devices, same experience. Zero friction.

### Freelancer

#### Anika

MacBook at her desk, iPad on the couch. Cimanote feels native on both - bottom nav on tablet, full layout on desktop.

### Field worker

#### David

Takes notes at construction sites with no WiFi. Everything syncs when he gets back to the office. Never loses a detail.

## The old way vs. Cimanote

| Pain point                  | Traditional apps         | Cimanote          |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------- |
| Download size               | 100 - 500 MB            | Under 5 MB        |
| Updates                     | Manual from store        | Invisible, automatic|
| Platform availability        | Separate apps per OS     | One URL, every device|
| Install process             | App Store account required| Visit URL, tap install|

## Why people switch

- **Evernote**: Bloated 300 MB download, separate apps for each platform  
- **Notion**: Sluggish mobile experience, heavy Electron desktop app  
- **Apple Notes**: Apple devices only, no Windows or Android  
- **Google Keep**: Too simple for serious note-taking, limited formatting  
- **Obsidian**: Requires separate sync setup, no native mobile PWA

## Free on every device

The PWA install, mobile experience, and offline reading are free for every account. Upgrade to Pro for offline editing and priority sync.

## Install in 10 seconds
