Defter Notes 2.0 is a complete redesign of Defter Notes for iPad, now on iPhone, iPad and M-chip Macs, with iCloud sync across your Apple devices. Please see Cansu's comment below for details, and thank you for supporting our tiny team! π§‘
Launching version 2.0. on Product Hunt has been on my list for a while, and it feels right to do it now that it has had a few months to breathe and grow.
Defter Notes began with a simple frustration: most note-taking apps ask you to think like the app, instead of the other way around. I and my partner Caner wanted to build something that felt more like a messy desk with sketchbooks rather than a database. That idea is still at the heart of everything we do.
2.0 was a big rebuild as we tackled some performance uprades, had a chance to redesign UI elements and implemented new features like iCloud sync for the whole Apple ecosystem. We have been refining it with help from our beta testers and shipped it quietly in November.
A few things that have meant a lot to us along the way: Last month Defter Notes was featured as App of the Day in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, and was picked as one of Apple's 'Apps We Love.' It was a recognition we have been looking forward to since the first version and we were happy to see it arrive very early with version 2.0.
Thank you for supporting our work! And if you try it, I'd really love to hear what you think. π

Hi Product Hunt! π
