Plato: Disappearing Notes

Some thoughts aren't meant to last. Plato is a notes app where every note has a timer. Write something down, choose how long it lives, and let it go. When the time runs out, the note is deleted for good. A TIMER ON EVERY NOTE Choose 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days when you write it. A gate code, a parking spot, a draft reply, a half-formed idea: things you need now and not forever. WATCH IT FADE Each note has a ring that drains as its time runs down, turning from sienna to orange to red near the end, and its text slowly fades (never so far that it's hard to read). Notes with less than an hour left sit at the top under Vanishing soon. BURN IT SOONER Swipe a note away, or open it and tap Burn now. Plato asks once, then the note is gone and can't be recovered. GONE EVEN WHEN PLATO IS CLOSED Expired notes are deleted in the background and again whenever you open the app, so nothing outlives its timer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Notes stay on your device. No account, no sync, no cloud backup, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Plato doesn't collect any data. MADE FOR ANDROID Material You design with a light look by default and Dark or System options, a themed icon, edge-to-edge screens, predictive back, and layouts for phones and tablets. FREE AND OPEN SOURCE Plato is free. An optional Tip Jar in Settings lets you support Plato; tips are optional, unlock nothing, and are not tax-deductible. Plato stays free. The source code is on GitHub.

Tip jar prices load reliably: if Google Play is slow to respond you now see the reason and a Try again button instead of a spinner.
