onTop

Version: 1.0

onTop is a web browser with a built in notepad to be a versatile way to take notes from the web.

I’m sure you’ve come across a time where you’ve found something browsing on Safari that you’d like to write down in Notes, perhaps a phone number or an address. You can’t copy and paste that information (yet), and going back and forth between Notes and Safari is a pain. With onTop you can browse the web like you would on Safari except with a press the icon looking like a piece of paper you’re given an overlay and can type out some notes on the fly. Want to take notes of a picture you have saved on your device? Press the camera icon, select a picture and like before, you’re able to add an overlay and make notes. To go back to the web simply touch the globe. Now that you’ve made your notes you can export them via email.

I have to say onTop adds some utility and removes the hassle of making note of something on the web. I wouldn’t call it a complete Safari replacement as it is missing things it has like multiple pages, bookmarks, and takes longer to load pages. But if you know you’ll need to write something down onTop is a good choice.
