Cheatsheet
Tiny notes on your widgets, keyboard and Apple Watch
The verdict
Hotel room numbers, license plates and luggage codes live in Cheatsheet as tiny notes with one of over 450 icons, shown on a Home Screen widget, a custom keyboard and your Apple Watch. It has been on the App Store since 2014, and on iOS 27 Siri matches notes by title more reliably. Syncing between devices needs the Pro subscription, and the separate Mac app costs $9.99 on top.
Get it if
You keep looking up the same few numbers and codes in your notes app while standing in line.
Skip it if
You only need a couple of numbers, which a pinned note in Apple Notes keeps handy for free.
