What you need

Syncing between them needs Cobble+ and iCloud turned on for the same Apple Account on each device.

Where your notes live

Every note is a plain Markdown file, and every task is a small Markdown file beside them, all stored on your device inside Cobble’s own folder. With Cobble+ sync on, each device keeps its own copy, and your private iCloud keeps them in step.

Back up or export your notes

On the Mac, open Cobble ▸ Settings ▸ Backup, choose a folder, and click Back Up Now. Each backup is a new folder holding a complete copy of your notes, tasks, and attachments as ordinary files you can open in any editor. On iPhone and iPad, you can copy any note’s text, and with sync on, a backup from your Mac includes everything.

Delete your data

Deleting a note or a task moves it to Cobble’s Trash, where you can still restore it. Emptying the Trash deletes it for good. On iPhone and iPad, deleting the app also deletes everything it stored on that device. The privacy policy explains how to remove Cobble’s data from iCloud too.

Questions and answers

When can I get Cobble?

Soon. Join the waitlist and we’ll send one email when it’s on the App Store.

Do I need an account?

No. Cobble has no account and no sign-in. Sync uses the Apple Account you’re already signed in with.

What does Cobble+ add?

Cobble+ is an optional subscription. It syncs your notes and tasks across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad through your own iCloud, and on the Mac it lets Claude work with the notes you choose.

Are my notes locked in?

No. They are plain Markdown files, so any text editor can read them, today or years from now.

Can Cobble see my notes?

No. What you write stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. If you turn on Claude access, what Claude reads goes to Anthropic under your own Claude account. Read the privacy policy for the details.
