These will be Varlig Pro’s prices on the App Store. Testers in the private beta aren’t charged.
Prices in US dollars. The App Store shows your price in your own currency before you buy; depending on where you live, tax is included or added at checkout. The 14-day free trial is for Yearly, for eligible Apple Accounts, and only once per account; Yearly then renews at the price shown unless you cancel. Monthly and Pay once have no trial. With Yearly, up to five family members can use Pro through Apple’s Family Sharing.
In many notes apps, having your notes on every device costs extra. Varlig syncs through your own iCloud for free, just as Apple Notes does.
Prices checked October 2026, in US dollars, for a year of each app’s plan with sync. Evernote’s free plan works on one device. Varlig and Apple Notes sync through your own iCloud storage, of which Apple gives 5 GB free.
Free is a complete notebook. Pro adds tools in five groups, for when you want more.
Draw charts from your calculations, and read a note with other values without changing a line.
Turn notes into documents, ebooks, web pages and pictures, and publish them.
Repeat what works, and come back to what you wrote.
Read the words in pictures and PDFs, mark them up, and keep your sources current.
Themes, icons and tools that fit Varlig to the way you work.
