The apps are free to download, work with the account you already have, and show every change you or your AI make the moment you open them. ## Get the app ### iPhone and iPad iOS and iPadOS 16 or later. The same download runs on a Mac too; see [The Mac app](https://hjarni.com/docs/mac-app).

On Android tablets and foldables the app uses the phone layout, stretched to the screen. ## Pro in the app You can buy Pro inside the app, monthly or yearly, paid through the App Store or Google Play like any other subscription. It unlocks the same Pro as on the web, everywhere you use Hjarni. Team plans are bought on hjarni.com. See where your plan is managed in **Settings › Billing**: **Manage in the App Store**, **Manage on Google Play**, or **Managed on hjarni.com** for a plan bought on the web. Cancel it where you bought it. ## Compared with the web ### Only in the apps - The share sheet and the New note widgets. - Swipe actions and press-and-hold menus. - Paying through the App Store or Google Play. ### Good to know - The apps need a connection. On iPhone and iPad, lists you already opened still show, marked "You're offline." - Sharing a folder, its email address and export open the web page from the folder's ⋯ menu. - The apps have a light theme only. To sign out, open **Settings › General** and tap **Sign out**. Deleting your account is on the same page. It does not cancel an App Store subscription, so cancel that in your Apple Account first.
