Super Memo — How-to Q&A

The tag feature lets you organize notes by category — for example, Shopping or Tasks.

To add: Tap the tag icon at the bottom of the screen → the editing screen opens → tap the ＋ button at the top right to add a new tag.

To delete: Tap the － button on the same editing screen. Note that deleting a tag also deletes all notes assigned to it.

Long-press a tag button at the bottom of the home screen to show an action sheet.

• Edit: Rename the tag.
• Duplicate: Copy the selected tag and all its notes as a new tag. Useful when you want to manage the same notes under a different category.
• Delete: Delete the tag and all its notes.

Long-pressing a note immediately applies the action you have configured. The default action is Bold — long-pressing again removes the formatting.

To change the action: Tap the gear icon at the top left → Settings → tap Long Press.

Available actions:

• Copy: Copy the note text to the clipboard.
• Bold: Make the note bold (default).
• Strikethrough: Add a strikethrough to the note.

If multiple actions are selected in settings, long-pressing shows an action picker. If only one action is selected, it is applied immediately.

When entering a note, a toolbar appears above the keyboard with a B (Bold) and S̶ (Strikethrough) button.

• B: Use to make a note stand out.
• S̶: Use to cross out completed tasks.

The formatting is also visible in the note list after saving.

You can choose how a horizontal swipe behaves in the note list.

Setting: Settings → Horizontal Swipe

Selecting a note’s checkbox reveals a float button in the lower right corner of the screen. Use it to perform bulk actions on selected notes.

You can choose which buttons to show — up to four.

Setting: Settings → Float Button

Available buttons: Delete / Archive / Notification / Strikethrough / Share

Keep only your most-used buttons visible and tuck the rest into the … menu for a cleaner experience.

Super Memo has two notification modes: manual and automatic.

Manual: Select a note, then tap the bell icon in the float button → a confirmation alert appears before adding the note to Notification Center.

Automatic: Settings → turn on Auto-show in Notification when note is added. Each new note is automatically shown as a notification banner. Editing an existing note does not trigger a notification.

Move notes to Archive if you might need them later; use Trash only for notes you no longer need at all.

Tap the share button at the top right of the home screen to share all notes in the current tag as Markdown.

Two Markdown formats are available:

Setting: Settings → Markdown Share Format

Setting: Settings → Add notes from text

Add notes in bulk — one line becomes one note (up to 100 at a time). You can also enter a URL to fetch text from a web page. After tapping Confirm, select a tag to add the notes to.

Send URLs or text from Safari and other apps directly to Super Memo.

How to use: Tap the share button in another app → select the Super Memo icon → choose a tag and tap Add to Notes.

For example, sharing a Safari page attaches the page title as the note and the URL as a link. Tapping that note in Super Memo opens Safari directly.

Setting: Settings → iCloud Backup

• Backup: Tap Save current data to iCloud.
• Restore: Tap Check iCloud backup (all current notes will be overwritten).

iCloud backup lets you restore your data after deleting and reinstalling the app, or sync data across multiple iPhones. Restoring replaces all current data, so proceed carefully.

Super Memo supports home screen widgets on iOS 17 and later. The widget displays the note list for a selected tag.

• Size: Choose from three sizes.
• Change displayed tag: Long-press the widget → tap the widget → select a tag.

Your iPhone notes automatically sync to Apple Watch so you can check them from your wrist.

• Browse notes: Tag list → tap a tag → view the note list.
• Swipe actions: Swipe a note left to reveal Archive and Delete buttons and act directly from Apple Watch. Changes sync back to Super Memo on iPhone automatically.

Super Memo lets you change its theme color. When you change the theme, the app icon design updates to match.

Setting: Settings → Display Settings → choose a theme.

The round button on the left side of each note is not a to-do checkbox — it is a note selection button.

Tapping it selects the note. Once one or more notes are selected, the float button appears at the lower right, letting you archive, delete, notify, share, and more in bulk.
