A board with room to move
Pin notes and folders as cards. Move the floating add control where it suits your layout, and choose from seven shapes.
Notes / Organization
TRENCH
A place to put things, and see how they connect.
TRENCH is a notes app built around a board. Pin notes where you can see them, sort deeper collections into folders, and move between quick thoughts and bigger structures without losing the thread.
About TRENCH
Made for the way you use it.
TRENCH gives different kinds of notes a shared home: text, image, drawing, and counter notes. A board offers a visual starting point, while nested folders and search help keep larger collections navigable.
Structure when you need it
Nest folders as deeply as you like, reorder them, and use tags, colors, and categories to make collections easier to scan.
Explore what you've made
Use Sonar search, folder family trees, and comments to find notes and understand how everything is arranged.
Inside the app
Thoughtful details. Practical tools.
Four note types
- Text notes for writing and keeping information.
- Image notes for photographs and visual references.
- Canvas notes for freehand drawings.
- Counter notes for tracking quantities.
Organization and control
- Drag notes and folders around the board; nest folders inside one another.
- Filter the board by tag or color; use folder categories and icons.
- View a top-down family tree of a folder's contents and pinch to zoom.
- Search titles, note text, comments, and tags with Sonar.
- Put a note or folder behind a PIN and choose its unlock behavior.
- Deleted items remain recoverable for 16 days before permanent deletion.
- Export and import backups; choose from 23 palettes and six fonts.
The PIN feature is an access-control convenience, not encryption. Do not use it as a substitute for encrypted storage or a dedicated password manager.
A Lohm Lab product
Simple by intention.
Free to use, with no ads and no accounts. The app works offline. Camera access is only used when taking a photo for an image note; biometric or screen-lock access is only used for the “Forgot PIN?” recovery flow.
