SumsApp Privacy Policy

SumsApp does not collect any data. All notes remain on your device unless you export it. If you enable iOS version’s iCloud sync, your data will be copied to your iCloud drive, which no one but you has access.

User’s Manual

☆Writing notes

Tap + button on the bottom.

Start writing.

When a number is detected, it will be added to the total, which is shown on top center. If you tap it, you can copy it.

Use a negative number for subtraction.

A number has to be surrounded by spaces. Dates and times are ignored because those numbers are next to characters like dash (/) or semicolon (:).

Swipe right or tap Back button on top left to save changes.

☆Date buttons

Today's date and yesterday's date can be entered quickly by tapping the buttons. On iOS devices, these keys can be found by sliding the numeric keypads on top of the keyboard.

Long-pressing Today button will insert today's date and the current time.

To change date format, go to Settings from main screen.

☆Undo button

Undo button is on top right of the screen. Tap it to bring the note to its previous state. Long-press it to reset all the changes.

☆Hide Keyboard (iOS)

Tap the upside-down triangle button to dismiss the keyboard, and you’ll see more buttons.

☆Font button

You can change font type, size and the colors of positive and negative numbers.

To reset font settings, open Settings from main screen and tap Reset Font.

☆Trash button

There are three ways to put items into trash.

1. Left swipe the item.

2. Tap Edit, select items and tap Trash button.

3. Tap Trash button while editing (hidden under keyboard).

If you make a mistake and want to discard changes, use Undo button instead. If you accidentally saved the note with unwanted changes, you can undo the damage by immediately reopening the note and use Undo button.

Trash button in editor also has a function to remove numbers only.

☆Folders

On main screen, tap Folder button to add a new folder.

To rename a folder, tap Edit on top right, select the folder, and tap A button.

A new folder shows 0 as its total value. As you add notes inside folder, the total of all items will be displayed.

☆Moving items

Tap Edit on top right corner, select items to move, and tap Truck icon.

Navigate to moving destination and tap 👍 button to confirm the move.

☆Duplicating items

Tap Edit on top right corner, select items to duplicate, and tap 📄 button.

☆Recovering items

Items in Trash can be recovered before they're permanently deleted.

On main screen, tap Trash button to open the trash.

Select items to recover and tap Recycle button ♻️.

☆Sort Order

Items' order can be manually arranged, or sorted by Title, Last modified date or Total.

Tap 🔼🔽 on top right to change the preference for each folder.

☆Quick Keywords

You can insert pre-registered words into your note by tapping Quick Keywords button, which is next to Yesterday button. If you don't see it, you have to slide the numeric keypads to the left to reveal the button (iOS).

Tap + button to add a new keyword.

Select keywords and tap Done to insert.

Alternatively, you can long-press the last keyword to insert, so that you don't have to reach for Done button.

Quick Keywords can be duplicated or deleted, and the order can be arranged manually, if the list is opened while editing.

To modify them, open Quick Keywords from Settings, which can be opened with ⚙️ button while you're in root directory.

If you want the newest keyword on top of the list, you can do so at Settings.

Tip for keywords: if you want to use keywords for advanced searches, avoid adding a space at the end. See Search section for the reason.

Tip for faster entry: If you want to start your new note with date/time and Quick Keywords, long-press + button instead of tapping.

☆Search

(Old iOS users: As of this writing, only Advanced Search is supported.)

Tap Search bar and select search mode.

• Literally: Must match all characters including spaces.

• All Keywords: all keywords separated by a space must be found.

• Any Keyword: If any of the keywords (also separated by space) is found, it's considered a match.

Keywords can be typed, or inserted from Quick Keywords. If multiple keywords are inserted to All or Any searches, the keywords are automatically separated by space. For this reason, it is recommended that you do not put space at the end of Quick Keyword when you register, as two consecutive spaces in All and Any searches would return different results.

If you want to perform the same search over and over, you can let SumsApp remember them in Settings.

☆Backup

Backup is strongly recommended for all users.

iCloud Sync is not technically a back up, because what you delete from your device will be deleted on iCloud as well. But, in case you have to install SumsApp on a new device, you can restore the same data. So, iCloud Sync is still recommended.

The safest backup is Export CSV, which you can perform from Settings.

CSV file is a universal text file format that can be opened from many apps like spreadsheets.

If it is absolutely critical to secure your data on SumsApp, go to Settings to tap Export CSV, choose "Save to Files" and choose a destination (for example, your iCloud Drive).

To restore, go to Settings and tap Import CSV. Imported items will be under "Imported - date/time" folder.

For Developers

iOS version supports URL scheme. Send text by using notally:// URL scheme. Below is a sample code.

    NSString *encodedText = [stringForClipboard stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:[NSCharacterSet URLHostAllowedCharacterSet]];
    NSURLComponents *components = [NSURLComponents componentsWithString:@"notally://"];
    NSURLQueryItem *newnoteQuery = [NSURLQueryItem queryItemWithName:@"newnote" value:encodedText];
    components.queryItems = @[newnoteQuery];
    NSURL *url = components.URL;
    UIApplication *ourApplication = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
    if ([ourApplication canOpenURL:url]) {

            [ourApplication openURL:url options:@{} completionHandler:^(BOOL success) {
                //
            }];
    }
