Your local-first AI second brain

What it does

Capture everything

Quick text notes, voice memos (transcribed on-device), PDF / EPUB / Markdown import, photo OCR, Obsidian vault import, and one-tap saving from any app via the share sheet.

Ask, don't dig

Ask questions in plain language. Answers are built from your own library, with [1] [2] citation chips you can tap to read the original passage.

Private by design

Vector search, speech transcription and OCR all run on your device. On devices with Apple Intelligence, answers can be generated entirely on-device too.

Bring your own key

Connect DeepSeek, Zhipu, Kimi, OpenRouter and more with your own API key. Keys stay in the iOS Keychain and go only to the provider you choose.

Finds by meaning

Semantic search finds notes by what they mean, not just exact keywords. AI-generated summaries and tags keep a growing library tidy.

Yours, synced, exportable

iCloud syncs your library across devices through your private database. One tap exports everything as Markdown to iCloud Drive — never locked in.

No account, no tracking

There is no sign-up, no analytics, no ads. Your knowledge base exists only on your devices and in your private iCloud database — the developer cannot see it. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
