## What is Harbor Notes?

Harbor is your private second brain — a fast, native notes app for people who want to remember everything and own it for life.

Capture notes, organize them into notebooks, tag anything, attach photos and files, scan paper documents, sketch ideas, and record voice memos. Then find any of it in seconds — Harbor's search even reads the text inside your images and scans.

REMEMBER EVERYTHING
• Rich notes with checklists, tables, images, links, and highlights
• Notebooks and stacks that keep every part of your life organized
• Tags that cut across notebooks
• Tasks with due dates, right beside your notes
• Scan documents with your camera; sketch with your finger or Apple Pencil
• Voice memos and file attachments of every kind
• Instant search across everything — including the text inside images and scans (OCR)

YOURS, EVERYWHERE
• Truly native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — no web wrapper
• Offline-first: your notes live on your device and sync automatically
• The full web app at app.harbor.my from any browser
• A web clipper that saves articles and pages straight into your notebooks

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No ads. No selling your data. No training AI on your notes. Ever.
