Nib is a writing space for people who want quick notes and longer drafts in one library. Notes capture short thoughts; Pages support headings, outlines, images, and tables. Users can organize work in folders, link related notes, set reminders, and send text into the app from the iOS share sheet. Writing stays on the device unless the user shares a draft or enables sync. The free version includes Markdown export and a full-library backup. Nib Plus adds encrypted sync and backup, Word, PDF, and HTML export, expanded version history, and writing goals. The US App Store lists Plus at $3.99 monthly or $44.99 yearly. It suits writers who value local storage and portability, though some organization and cross-device features require a subscription.
