Notes - Archive & Reflect

Notes is a private, on-device notebook for people who want their thoughts to stay their own — no account, no cloud sync, no ads, and nothing about what you write ever leaves your phone.

TALK TO YOUR NOTES Ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in what you've actually written — "What did I decide about the trip?", "Find all my notes with photos," "Show me my last 10 entries." Powered entirely on-device (Apple Intelligence where available), so your notes are never sent anywhere to be understood.

WRITE YOUR WAY • Rich text formatting, checklists, and bullet or numbered lists • Attach photos, videos, sketches, voice memos, and any file — PDFs, spreadsheets, audio, and more — shown like mail attachments • Dictate notes and meeting recordings with on-device speech-to-text • Scan documents and turn them into text with on-device OCR • Turn any note into a real, tappable checklist, a clean outline, or a quick summary — all on-device • Translate a note into another language on-device

STAY ORGANIZED • Categories, tags, and reminders • Archive volumes for anything you want out of your daily view but not gone for good • Find Duplicate Notes scans your whole collection and helps you merge near-identical entries • Fast search by keyword, date, or media type

MAKE IT YOURS • A gallery of backdrops — set one globally or per note • A collection of themes for the whole app • Adjustable text size and archive density • A home screen widget with your recent notes

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Notes stay on your device — nothing is uploaded, synced, or sold • Lock individual notes with a password or Face ID • Deleted notes go to Trash first, so a stray tap never costs you a note • No account required to use the app

Whether you keep a journal, a running list, meeting notes, or just a place to think out loud, Notes is built to be entirely, privately yours.
