GlanceNote: See it before you unlock

Overview

What GlanceNote does

GlanceNote: Lock Screen Notes is a free iPhone & iPad app developed by Elevate Mobile Group LLC and available on App Store.

GlanceNote: Lock Screen Notes puts the note that matters right now on your Lock Screen widget, as a Live Activity below the clock, and in the Dynamic Island. Check off checklist items right on the Lock Screen without opening the app, and add home screen widgets in small and medium sizes.

Capture a note by typing, speaking, scanning printed or handwritten text with the camera, sketching, or asking Siri. On-device AI with Apple Intelligence turns a brain dump into a checklist, shortens a long note so it fits, breaks a goal into steps, and spots dates like Friday at 3pm. Your notes stay on your device, and there is no account.

AI actions, camera text recognition, and, where supported, speech recognition run on your device. Your notes are never sent to our servers, and no account is needed.
