"I just use it from the widget. I know that if i click on the widget it`ll open the app for further editing. The widget doesn`t have to say edit in bold and underlined on it. Kinda ruining the aesthetics of my phone that way..."

"So far so good. Just wanted a note pad widget for my daily todo lists. Easy to set check boxes, check them off and clear the note at the end of each day. 2 suggestions though: Would like to be able to edit the widget text from the widget (without having to open the app) and if there was an option for a `checked` bullet to also strike through the text, that would help with my OCD tremendously. 9/10 app for what I was looking for. Will be using this for a while."

"I love the idea behind this app. If you want to take something down quickly, then this is the simplest way to do so, no menus to go through or anything like that, you just open the app and start typing (so long as you`ve turned on the option to have the keyboard come up when you open the app)."

"Great app for those who always have something running on their mind. Just pick up your phone and write down everything, no searching for pen and paper and no slipping of ideas through your mind. Just one thing for the developers, you should add more pages that can be stashed (at least 10-15) in the free version of the app. Thank you."

"It is a beautiful app, and I loved it in my first impression then I got the peremium version. But… but the good things wouldn`t last, after that my text getting longer and longer, the app goes slow, each time slower than before. And also, in my point of view the stash mechanism is rediculous. So I`ve changed my rate from 5 to 3 stars. Update: I have added a few line to my text and I can`t even open the app anymore, can you imagine that I can`t restore my texts?! Also, export option won`t work!"

"Good little all with some feature requests: Scrolling up/down on the bottom bar is broken when a swipe down from the home bar triggers system notification I want to create multiple widgets, each linked to a different stash. That way I can use multiple stashes to track different to do lists. Otherwise LOVE the widget UI."

ruff is your pocket-sized best friend that aims to make writing on the go fun and sharing it fast & easy. It`s a single sheet of text with your progress automatically saved and restored between sessions — no file management to worry about here! You can set aside (aka stash) text to come back to later via a left swipe. Or you can pass it on (aka share) via the FAB.
ruff doesn`t want (or need) to replace your text editor, to-do app etc. With its original blend of utility & versatility, ruff is the ideal springboard for all your writing on the go: drafts, notes, lists, ideas, thoughts etc. It`s a pleasure to write in ruff, and effortless to move the writing out 💪

« Ruff’s straightforward brand identity empowers the app’s note-taking users to quickly capture their thoughts in any style. Prioritizing function and clarity, Ruff’s consistent use of typography, shape, and color create an inviting themed experience. » — Google Design ( https://design.google/library/material-design-awards-2019/)
« If you like to write and wish you could do so from your Android device without any distractions, then look no further than ruff. The app contains both a light and dark theme, and it even works on Chromebooks, which makes it a great option for portable writing. Saving your content is easy. All you have to do is swipe to the right, and the app will save your progress so that you can easily pick up where you left off, even if you switch to a different Android device. » — Android Police

Throw a bone 🦴 by upgrading to ruff+ to unleash the following:
• Gain full screen estate by removing ads
• Set aside (aka stash) as much text as you like (as opposed to the basic 10)
• Read the entire content of your text from your home screen widget (it`s a full screen preview on the basic widget)
... you`ll make an indie developer and their digital pup happy too! ♥
