Midnight Memo Support
Midnight Memo is an iOS app for typing notes on a completely black screen using flick input. Capture quick ideas at bedside, on a crowded train, or in any low-visibility setting — without turning the screen on, by feel alone.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The writing screen is completely black. Is the app broken?
No, this is intentional. The writing screen runs at zero brightness on purpose. You can start typing as soon as you touch the screen — flick input positions and confirmation events are conveyed through haptic feedback. Use the Practice mode to learn the key layout if needed.
I can't see the keys. Is there a way to show them?
Tap the gear icon on the memo list to open Settings, then switch "Writing guide dots" to Light, Medium, or Strong. Faint dots will appear at each key center on the writing screen. Leave it on None for the fully black experience.
How do I use Practice mode?
Tap the Practice button at the top-left of the memo list. You will enter a mode where the flick grid is fully visible. Practice flicks here do not save to your memos.
Where are my memos stored?
All memos are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple SwiftData. There is no automatic upload to our servers or iCloud. Data will be lost if the device is lost or the app is uninstalled.
How do I leave the writing screen?
Tap the Close button at the top of the writing screen to return to the memo list. Screen brightness automatically restores when you leave, and memos are auto-saved.
Does this app show ads?
A single banner ad (Google AdMob) appears at the bottom of the memo list only. The writing, practice, and detail screens contain no ads at all.
Which iPhone and iOS versions are supported?
iPhone only, iOS 17.0 or later. Haptic feedback requires a Taptic Engine, available on iPhone 8 and later.
Can I back up or sync across devices?
The current version stores memos locally only and does not support cloud backup or cross-device sync. We are considering this for a future update.
