## What is AlmanacNotebook?

Turn any content into knowledge — instantly.

Almanac is your AI-powered notebook that learns from your sources.
Add YouTube videos, audio recordings, PDFs, or text, and let AI do the
heavy lifting: transcribe, summarize, and answer your questions.

NOTEBOOKS FOR EVERYTHING
Create notebooks for any topic — research, studying, podcasts,
meetings, or ideas. Each notebook keeps your sources and
AI-generated insights in one place.

ADD ANY SOURCE
• YouTube videos — paste a link, get a full transcript
• Audio & voice — record yourself or upload MP3, M4A, WAV files
• PDFs — import a document and get notes from its text
• Text — paste articles, notes, or any written content

CHAT WITH YOUR CONTENT
Ask anything about your sources. Almanac reads everything you've
added and gives you accurate, grounded answers — just like having
a research assistant who has read it all.

• "What are the key takeaways from this podcast?"
• "Summarize the main argument"
• "What did the speaker say about productivity?"

AI STUDIO
Generate summaries, flashcards, and quizzes from your sources
with one tap. Great for studying or quickly processing long content.

AUDIO OVERVIEW
Turn your notebook into a conversational audio summary — like a
podcast about your own content.

WORKS IN ANY LANGUAGE
Add content in English, Chinese, Spanish, or any other language.
Almanac understands and responds in the same language you use.

Privacy first: your data stays yours.

Finally, a real meeting assistant!
Been hunting for an app like this forever. Tactiq and others didn’t cut it. MegaNotes nails it with easy recording and beautiful summaries. 10/10 for the UX alone.

Super easy to use and makes going over lecture content way more manageable. I especially like the flash cards and quiz features, they’re a fun and helpful way to review material without feeling overwhelmed. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to stay organized and study smarter.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.4 — 2026-08-26

Long recordings now transcribe several times faster, and the app tells you what it is doing instead of just "Queued".

A file you send appears in the list straight away, with its upload progress.

Recordings are kept on your phone until they are safely sent — and any that never made it are waiting for you in Add source › Audio, one tap from a notebook.

If a transcription fails, the recording is kept: tap the source to try it again.

Subscribers can change or cancel their plan from Settings.

### 2.2.2 — 2026-08-25

Your notes now come back in the language you recorded in.

LANGUAGE
• Record in Russian, Spanish, German — the summary, the flashcards and the quiz come back in that language instead of English
• Chat replies match the language you asked in

STUDY
• Flashcards one card at a time: tap to flip, with your place in the deck
• A quiz that asks one question at a time, marks it right or wrong the moment you answer, and ends with a score and the questions you missed
• Summary, flashcards and quiz each open on their own instead of running together in one long scroll

NOTES AND SOURCES
• Summaries come back in sections with bold lead-ins; a meeting also gets Action Items, Decisions and Risks
• Transcripts label who was speaking
• Import a PDF straight from your phone
• Files show up in the sources list while they are still being processed
• A scanned PDF says it is a scan instead of coming back as an empty transcript

SHARING
• Share a note as a link — the page carries the transcript and the quiz, and you can stop sharing whenever you want
• Invite a friend with your code and you both get a week of Pro

ALSO
• Openers above an empty chat, so there is something to ask
• Tell us whether a summary was useful
• A monthly plan alongside the yearly one
• Now requires iOS 16 or later

### 2.2.0 — 2026-07-08

• New: Almanac Pro yearly plan — one price for the whole school year
• Faster, more reliable AI note processing
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-29

A fresh new look. Almanac now has a refreshed dark design that feels cleaner
and more native across every screen — your notebooks, sources, studio and chat.
We also tuned scrolling and navigation, and fixed a number of bugs.
Thanks for using Almanac!
