What's New in Contextly Notes

2.0

September 12, 2026

Contextly 2.0 is the biggest update yet, making it easier to ask, record, summarize, and carry your notes across devices — with privacy built in. Apple Intelligence powers the biggest new experiences. Siri features require iOS 27 / macOS 27, while Ask Contextly and on-device summaries require iOS 26 / macOS 26 on Apple silicon with Apple Intelligence enabled. Siri reads an on-device index rather than sending your notes to Siri servers, and longer requests use Apple’s Private Cloud Compute only when needed on the 27 releases. • Ask Siri about your notes. Ask questions and Siri finds answers from Contextly, shows the source note, and can create, rename, pin, or move notes by voice. • Ask Contextly is here. Ask in plain language and get grounded answers with citations to the exact notes, plus follow-up questions that keep context on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. • Long meetings, fully transcribed. Recordings no longer stop after a minute; on iPhone, transcription continues with the phone locked, with a live timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Smarter summaries and action items. Summaries run on-device first; on iOS 27 / macOS 27, longer notes can use Private Cloud Compute instead of failing, with clearer status messages. • Contextly in Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Handoff. Find, create, open, and summarize notes from Shortcuts, search them in Spotlight, and pick up a note between Mac and iPhone. • More reliable, better-formatted notes. Notes keep their size and style across devices, pasted Markdown becomes real formatting on Mac, offline edits are protected, deletions go to Recently Deleted, and attachments sync through iCloud.

I am liking it, for the most part

Ok, I’m giving this a solid try, mostly for having a calendar and notes in one app. Thank you for having a dark mode!

Jason, I’m sure you will correct me if I’m wrong, but when you are in the calendar, aren’t the left and right arrows supposed to move back and forth between the months. It would also be great to have a long press action to change month and year.

It would also be cool if it could realize that I’m landing and leaving from a city, to indicate that I’m away during the duration of the trip.

Ok, I’m changing this rating from 4 to 5 stars because you made the app!

Removing friction

This app removes the friction of capturing information and making it into action. It has quickly become a key tool for me.

I didn’t realize I needed this app

Clean interface. Intuitive to use. Appreciate the appearance/color options and ability to hide the calendar. Grateful that iCloud sync is baked in. Decently buggy on my iPad, but it’s a brand new app. Solid on my iPhone. Even available on AVP, which I appreciate!!! ❤️🩵💛 I love the easy pdf export on the Mac, the ability to have a note take up the full window and get rid of all the other visual noise, and the ability to customize font size. A one week free trail of the pro capabilities might be useful, but $5/mo is pretty reasonable, so I’ll give it a go for a month and if I like it, I’ll do the annual subscription.

Meeting Notes

I really like this. It’s simple, uncluttered. 2 things I think would convince me to spring for the pro plan. 1. A lot of my tasks throughout the day are trigged by emails. It would be nice to incorporate emails somehow for reference.
2. I’m in a ton of meetings, but they’re all on Zoom. This doesn’t integrate with audio properly to transcribe those correctly.

I’m using Notion but it’s overkill. I’d love to use this.

Pretty good app

Nice app for simple note taking. Fast and easy to use. Love the link to calendar idea. Would like to see some kind of import notes feature and ability to add images or screenshots.

Response from developer

Thanks for using Contextly. You can import notes on the Mac using File > Import Notes. It'll explain exactly how to do just that. You can also add attachments on the Mac, and working on it for the iPhone/iPad.
