I think it’s been mentioned here before, but this app is worth highlighting: Edit, by K.Q. Dreger
https://audaciousfox.net/projects/edit
Edit (on iOS) does only one thing, and the developer promises it will never do anything else: it opens on a single sheet for typing plain text. The sheet contents can be sent with share extension from any app that accepts plain text input. And that’s all. No navigation. No settings—except a dark mode toggle. No begging for ratings. No pro version. Once and done.
I put it on my phone’s home screen because many notes are just quick jots that need to be captured on the fly.
It’s sort of refreshing to find something that decisively eschews bloat.

Reminiscent for me of a simple iOS reminders (lower-cap “r”) app I recently installed, called Later (http://laterapp.co) with deadline presets. Free for iOS. Syncs with a Later Mac app that lives in the menu-bar, but that costs $9.99.

Have you tried Drafts?
It is a similar idea, just a text file - but it combines with powerful scripts to integrate with other apps. Write some text and send it to Bear, 2Do, Ulysses, email, do a google search, or add tags and archive it right in the app. After a specified time it always opens a new note on launch (although this can temporarily be turned off if you are referencing a single note).

Sure, all versions since v1.
But the point of Edit is it does only one thing. Which is all I need most of the time.
