You chose iThoughts for good reasons
The power user's power tool — until development stopped in 2024.
The widest format support in the category, a native app that actually felt native, and a one-time purchase you owned outright. When iThoughts was discontinued in 2024, it left a gap no single app has properly filled. Pellven reads your files directly so nothing is stranded.
