Yes. Everything works fully offline. iCloud sync simply catches up the next time your device is online.
SpecPad uses Apple's CloudKit to sync your notes through your own private iCloud account. Your content stays within your Apple ID — there is no separate SpecPad server, and I have no access to your notes.

Delete individual notes inside the App, or delete the App to remove its local data from a device. Content in iCloud is managed through your Apple ID and iCloud settings. To delete purchase records, email [email protected] with your Support ID.
