EverNotes is an app template for you to store and edit notes in the cloud, it works with Parse backend so you won’t lose data even after an update, just log in with your own username and password to access your notes.
You can store Video, Audio, Image and Text notes with this app, all come into a nice, flat UI design that you can customize as you wish via Storyboard in XCode.

Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO PHP files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.

EverNotes is written in Swift, native XCode project, Universal, Parse SDK hosted on https://back4app.com, easy to customize.

Yes, I always update my apps to the latest version of the IDE.

Why do I need to have login from Apple Account in the app?

Yes, because from 30th April 2020, APPLE authorities restricted the apps using 3rd party login from FACEBOOK, GOOGLE etc should also integrate “APPLE SIGN IN” method in the app. For reference: APPLE SIGN IN GUIDELINES
