Uni:Note Pocket is a companion app for reviewing Uni:Note backups on iPhone.
It is not a writing app. Its job is to load backup data and let you review notes and Question Sets (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0) in read-only mode.

Requirements:

  • iPhone only
  • a backup zip created in Uni:Note
  • focused on viewing and review, not editing or sync

1. Read the first companion notice

On first launch, the app shows About Uni:Note Pocket.
This notice explains that Uni:Note Pocket is a companion app for Uni:Note and that you need a backup from Uni:Note before you can use it.

2. Choose a backup from Import

Use Import in the top right and select a backup zip from Uni:Note.

  • choose the zip
  • let the app validate its contents
  • finish the import if it is valid

3. Use Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)

This feature is in preparation and planned for v1.1.0.

If this iPhone already has a Uni:Note Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0), the app can ask whether you want to load it right away.

In Settings > Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0), you can check:

  • Last Updated
  • Auto Load on Launch (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)
  • Load Manually (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)

When Auto Load on Launch is on, the app loads automatically only when a usable Uni:Note Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0) is available on this iPhone.

4. Check subjects, Recent Notes, and Question Sets (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)

After import, the main screen shows:

  • top-level subjects with note counts
  • a Recent Notes section for quick resume
  • a Question Sets section (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0) when the imported backup includes saved sets

The top-level label changes according to Subject Name in Settings.

5. Open Notes and review pages

When you open a subject, you can move into the Notes list and choose what to review.

  • open the note list
  • choose a note
  • review pages in a continuous vertical flow

Uni:Note Pocket is read-only, so it does not rename notes or edit pages.

6. Zoom and read in the page view

In the page view, you can focus on reading the imported content.

  • pinch to zoom in or out
  • double tap to zoom
  • move through pages with vertical scrolling

The app is designed to keep review simple and safe even for heavier notes.

7. Review Question Sets (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)

This feature is in preparation and planned for v1.1.0.

If the imported backup includes Question Sets (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0) saved in Uni:Note, you can open them from Question Sets (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0) on Home.

  • review saved questions and answers
  • move through the saved set in one place
  • keep creation and editing on the Uni:Note side

8. Show or hide the memorization layer

Use the eye button on the right side to switch the page-level memorization layer.

  • Show Memorization Layer
  • Hide Memorization Layer

Uni:Note Pocket does not edit the memorization mask itself.

9. Adjust Settings

In Settings, you can mainly change:

  • Language
  • Theme
  • Resume Last Location
  • Prevent Horizontal Drift
  • Subject Name
  • Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0)

Subject Name lets you rename the top-level label to Subject / Note / Group / Category.

10. Import a newer backup later

When you create a newer backup in Uni:Note, run Import again in Uni:Note Pocket. If you use Easy Backup (In Preparation / planned for v1.1.0), you can also refresh it from Settings > Easy Backup > Load Manually.

The app switches only after the new zip passes validation.
If validation fails, the previous imported data stays in place and the app shows an error.
