One thing, not another list
Give one easy-to-forget thought a visible place without turning it into a task system.
Current Card
Visible, without interrupting
See it in Widgets and supported system surfaces. Start a temporary Live Activity only when you want a little more presence.
Local and quiet
The app has no account, advertising, analytics, or tracking. iCloud sync stays off unless you choose to turn it on.
Current Card is designed for iPhone and iPad, and supports English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
What can wait can still stay in sight.
Ordinary device use gives you another natural chance to notice it—without a countdown, manufactured urgency, or asking whether the thought is finished.
The whole Current Card
From a passing thought to a familiar sight.
Revisit a card, choose its look, or show a few words to someone else. Keep the same card close across your Apple devices.
Card Trail + Card Back
- Revisit the cards you’ve let go of, in order or with a random draw.
- Turn a past card over to leave one short phrase or photo, or leave it empty.
- Move past cards to Trash and bring them back within seven days.
Themes for the card you keep.
From familiar colors to ink, paper and light. Choose the surface that feels like yours.
Pinned Paper, Luminous and Print Studio can each be bought separately. Pro includes every current and future theme.

Show where you are, share a short message, or cheer someone on. Open a card full screen, or let the words flow in one continuous line.
See how it works
A few cards. One shared image.
Keep the card’s words and its character together. Arrange up to three cards in one image, move them into place, and choose from your unlocked themes.
Back notes and photos are included only when you choose them. Sharing leaves your original cards as they are.

Where you already look
Lock Screen. StandBy. Dynamic Island. Watch. Even Mac.
The same card can appear quietly on the surfaces you choose. Exact availability follows your Apple devices, system settings, and Live Activity support.
Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy Widgets
Choose a supported Widget and notice the current card again without opening the app.
Dynamic Island and the Mac menu bar
When you start Keep in sight, a temporary Live Activity can appear on supported iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac surfaces.
Ready in StandBy
The same card remains legible across supported light, dark, and Always-On appearances.
When it no longer needs the space, let it go.
Let go removes the card from Now and supported visible surfaces without asking whether the underlying thought is finished.
Exact surfaces depend on your iPhone and system settings. People nearby may see visible card text.
