Simply Notes — a place to park a claim

A plain notebook for health claims worth a second look. It stores sentences, not statistics, and it has no opinion about any of them.

Why it exists

The articles on Simply Wellness nearly all began the same way: someone repeated a claim, and there was no good moment to ask where it came from. By the time the question could be asked, the sentence had been forgotten. Simply Notes came out of that gap — a two-second way to write the claim down and return to it when there is room to think.

What it does

  • Saves the sentence. Type or paste the claim exactly as it was stated, before memory tidies it up into something more reasonable.
  • Asks the same short questions. Who is making the claim, compared to what, in how many people, and does anything change hands if it is believed?
  • Keeps a reading list. Anything unresolved can be tagged for later, which is where most of our article ideas come from.

What it deliberately does not do

Simply Notes does not rate claims, score users, or hand down a verdict. It has no database of "myths" and no automated fact-checker, because a sentence is usually neither true nor false so much as narrower than it sounds. Notes remain on the device; nothing is published or shared.

It is not a health tool

Simply Notes measures nothing about a body and offers no guidance about any condition, symptom, or treatment. It is a notebook with a few prompts in it — an aid to reading, and nothing more.
