## Description

On-device AI turns messy notes into clean Markdown and clarifies your GTD inbox, right on your phone. Nothing's uploaded. Sync with iCloud or your own GitHub.

Vanta is a private Markdown notes app for iPhone with AI that runs entirely on your phone, and real GTD built in. Your notes stay as plain Markdown you own. Start with a local vault in seconds: no account, no servers, nothing uploaded.

ON-DEVICE AI
• Turn a messy, rambled note into clean Markdown
• "Clarify with AI" sorts your whole GTD inbox into Next Actions, Waiting For, Someday, Done, or Trash
• Clean up dictation, summarize, and suggest tags
• Powered by Apple's on-device models, so it works offline and nothing ever leaves your phone

GETTING THINGS DONE, BUILT IN
• Capture to your Inbox in a tap, by typing or voice, even from the Share Sheet
• Process your inbox to zero, by hand or with AI
• Next Actions by @context, plus Waiting For, Someday, and Projects
• A weekly review that surfaces stalled projects and what you're waiting on
• Inbox and Next Actions pinned to the top of your vault

A REAL MARKDOWN NOTES APP
• Folders, favorites, and instant full-text search, all offline
• Syntax-highlighted code, callouts, tables, images, SVG, and tasks
• Tap [[wikilinks]] to jump between notes, and see backlinks
• Light and true-black dark themes

YOURS, EVERYWHERE
• Start on-device with no account
• Sync across your devices with iCloud, or your own private GitHub repo
• Obsidian-compatible: open the same vault on your Mac, and favorites sync with Obsidian bookmarks
• No subscription. No analytics. No tracking.

Vanta works great as a standalone local notes app, and plugs into your existing Obsidian or Markdown vault whenever you want.

On-device AI features require an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.
