connote

One input box. That's the whole app.

connote is a notes app and journal that never asks you to organize. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no deciding where things go — all the steps that make you put off writing are gone. Write what's on your mind, hit save, and the app reads the rest out of your words.

◆ Notes that connect
Mention the same person, project, or word again and your earlier notes appear alongside — automatically. Link directly with [[title]] when you want to. Open an old note and everything written about it since follows. Notes don't pile up; they connect. If backlinks and zettelkasten are your thing, this is that, with nothing to maintain.

◆ Dates and tags
The moment you save is where a note lives: Today, Yesterday, then by date. Any #tag you type in the text becomes its label. There is no separate metadata to fill in.

◆ Photos as instant prints
Attach a photo and it's developed into a square, film-toned print with your note written underneath — a photo diary that looks like one. Several photos stack like real prints and fan out with a tap. Share a note and photo and caption leave as one image.

◆ Todos in one tap
Tap the check as you write — that's a todo. The app never guesses from your phrasing; only what you mark becomes a list, and anything done can be undone.

◆ Graph
Everything you've written becomes a map of links, tags, and days.

◆ Straight from other apps
Share a photo or some text and connote takes it. Add a line, save, and go back to what you were doing — the app never has to open.

◆ Yours alone
No account, no sign-in, no server, no ads. It works with no internet, and what you write stays on this device. Lock the app with your fingerprint or PIN, and take everything out whenever you like with JSON backup and Markdown export (opens as-is in Obsidian).

Available in English, 한국어 and 日本語.

The line you write today connects to what you'll write tomorrow.
