About

Cairn keeps it, understands it, and brings it back when it matters. No account. No cloud AI. Your thoughts never leave your iPhone. Use it however your brain works: ideas, plans, reminders, to-dos, things to remember, or the occasional 2am thought. No folders, no formatting, no rules. DUMP IT • Type, dictate or take a photo.

What's New in Cairn

1.0.1

October 24, 2026

Cairn has a new name: Your Second Brain. It was never meant to be a diary. Cairn is where you put anything you don't want to forget: an idea in the shower, a hidden spot you found on a trip, a friend's birthday, something you promised to do. Dump it in seconds, set a reminder if you like, and Cairn remembers it for you. Everything still runs privately on your iPhone.
