How can we help?
Answers to the questions that come up most. If yours isn’t here, a real reply is one email away.
Getting started
What is Snib?
Snib is a native note app for your Mac and iPhone, built to catch a thought the instant it strikes. A keyboard shortcut or a gesture opens a note over whatever you’re doing — it’s saved before you look away, then waiting on your other devices.
Which devices does Snib run on?
Snib runs on macOS — both Apple silicon and Intel — and on iPhone. One subscription unlocks both, and your notes stay in step across them.
How do I get Snib?
Snib is launching soon. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the moment it’s ready to download — no charge to be first in line.
Do I need an account to use Snib?
No sign-up and no Snib account. Your notes live on your device and sync through your own iCloud — nothing to create, nothing to log into.
Your notes & files
Where are my notes stored?
Every note is a plain file on your own disk — never locked inside a database or a cloud you can’t reach into. You can open the folder in Finder or Files any time.
What format are notes in?
Markdown — one plain .md file per note, the format your editors, notebooks and AI tools already speak. No proprietary format, nothing to lock you in.
Can I bring in notes I already have?
Yes. Import your existing Markdown files, and export any note whenever you like — there’s no export button to hunt for, because your notes were always just files.
What happens to my notes if I stop paying?
They stay exactly where they are. Because every note is a plain Markdown file on your disk, it’s readable, exportable and entirely yours — on every device — whether or not you subscribe.
Syncing across devices
How does sync work?
A note caught on your Mac is on your iPhone before you look up — and the other way around. It travels through your own iCloud, privately, with nothing to set up and nothing to run.
Does Snib work offline?
Yes — Snib is offline-first. Capture with no signal at all; your note is saved on the device immediately and syncs the moment you’re back online.
My Mac and iPhone aren’t in sync — what should I check?
Make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with iCloud Drive turned on, and that each has been online at least once since your last edit. Nothing is lost in between — offline changes wait safely on the device and travel when the connection returns.
Pricing & billing
How much does Snib cost?
Everything is free for 14 days. After that, one plan covers every device: $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
Is there a free version?
There’s no limited free tier. Instead you get the whole app — every feature, both platforms — free for 14 days, and you aren’t charged until the trial ends.
Does one subscription cover both Mac and iPhone?
Yes. A single subscription unlocks Snib on your Mac and your iPhone together — you’re never asked to pay twice for the same notes.
How do I cancel?
Snib’s subscription is billed through your Apple account, so you can cancel any time from Subscriptions in Settings on iPhone, or the App Store on Mac. You keep full access until the period you’ve paid for ends.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com — and if something went wrong, email us too so we can help make it right.
Publishing & privacy
Can I publish a note to the web?
Yes. When a note deserves readers, publish it to a clean, shareable page in one click — no layout to fuss over, no account for your reader.
Who can see a note I publish?
Only people with the link. A published note isn’t listed or searchable from Snib, and you can take it back down whenever you like.
How private are my notes?
Your writing lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud — it doesn’t sit on our servers for us to read. Only the notes you deliberately choose to publish ever leave your control.
Does Snib use AI?
Quietly, and only when you ask. Speak a note and it becomes text on your device; Apple’s Writing Tools — proofread, rewrite, summarise — are built into the editor, running on your device or Apple’s private cloud, never on our servers. Nothing trains on your writing, there’s no AI tier to pay for, and none of it ever interrupts: if you don’t invoke it, it isn’t there.
Troubleshooting
Snib won’t open, or feels stuck.
First, make sure macOS or iOS is up to date, then quit and reopen Snib. Reinstalling is safe — your notes are files on your disk, so they’re all still there when Snib comes back.
I can’t find a note I wrote.
Search from inside Snib, or open your notes folder in Finder or Files and look there — nothing is deleted behind your back. If you caught it on another device, give iCloud a moment to bring it across.
