Features & Capabilities

Gravity is a fast, private notes app with one stream, instant capture, and a simple rule: swipe to bump what matters back to the top.

You open your notes app to jot down a quick idea. But first: which folder? What tags? Should you link it to something? By the time you've decided, the thought is gone.

Gravity eliminates every barrier between your thoughts and the page. No folders. No tags. No complex systems to maintain. Just one continuous stream, and your attention decides what stays relevant.

  • Syncs privately via your personal iCloud account. No third-party servers.
  • No account required. No sign-up. No tracking.
  • One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads.

HOW IT WORKS

Append — Open the app and start typing. Your note saves automatically. No tapping "new note." No choosing a location. Just capture Review — Scroll through your stream. New notes live at the top. Older notes naturally drift down over time, like thoughts settling in your mind. Rescue — When something catches your attention, swipe right to bump it back to the top. Your attention becomes your organization system. Archive — When a note has served its purpose, swipe left. Done.

WHO GRAVITY IS FOR

Designed for plain-text note taking, quick ideas, and lightweight to-dos. For solo thinkers who want to capture first and organize never. For anyone who's felt the relief of simply writing something down without deciding where it goes.

Not a second brain. Not a knowledge graph. Just your thoughts, in one stream.

INSPIRED BY SIMPLICITY

Gravity is built around Andrej Karpathy's append-and-review method for personal notes: keep one running stream, review it periodically, and let your attention decide what stays relevant. Most notes apps tolerate this workflow. Gravity is designed for it.

ONE PRICE. YOURS FOREVER.

Pay once. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads. Just a thoughtfully crafted notes app that respects your attention and your wallet.

Stop organizing. Start thinking.

Download Gravity and let your thoughts sink in.

This is an amazing app., it helps me remember to do certain tasks, it is easy to use, has lots of features and works! The app even saves deleted tasks in case you made a mistake. I can’t wait to see where this app goes. Buy it , it is powerful, easy to use and the price is right

Simple straight forward app!

I admit, when an app was touted as simple, I was a bit worried it would be lacking. But I am finding it to be just what I needed. No extra junk to wade through to figure out how to use it. I like that you can bump a note to the top of the feed, and it’s very easy to search for keywords.
