Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Best with Apple Intelligence, on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, or iPad with M1 or A17 Pro and newer.
Hirsla is a small place for the things in between: the door code, the parking level, the claim number, the restaurant someone recommended. Too small for a note, too useful to lose.
AI-FRIENDLY
Ask runs on your device with Apple Intelligence. Every answer shows its sources. On the Mac, Connections lets AI apps that speak Model Context Protocol (MCP) search and read your cards, and add a note or a link only if you allow it. Off until you say so. Nothing can change or delete a card. Connections is Mac only.
SHARE IT
Tap Share in any app and pick Hirsla. Links, text, places, photos, PDFs, voice memos, calendar files. Nothing to name, no folder to choose. Your iPhone writes the card: a title, a short summary and the details that matter, like codes, addresses and deadlines. Without Apple Intelligence the titles and summaries are simpler. Paste a photo or a file and it becomes a card too.
ASK FOR IT LATER
Type or speak: "What was the door code for the hotel?" You get the answer and the cards it came from. If it is not in your cards, Hirsla is built to say so.
WORKS IN FLIGHT MODE
The AI runs on your device with Apple's on-device model. Once Apple Intelligence is set up, your cards, search and Ask work without a connection. Saving a new link needs one, to load the page.
SOURCES FOR EVERY ANSWER
Each sentence of an answer carries a small number. Tap it to open the card it came from, with the passage it used marked.
ON THE MAC
Press ⌃⌘V to keep what is on your clipboard, from any app. Press ⌃⌘H for the Hirsla panel over any app: type to find a card, or ask. Cards open in their own windows and can stay on top. Drag anything to the edge of the screen to keep it. Connections (MCP) lives in Settings › Connections on the Mac. Room bought on iPhone or iPad is already on the Mac.
WRITE IN THE NOTE
Write straight into a note. Markdown formats itself as you type, with format keys on iPhone, a shortcut bar on iPad and a format bar on the Mac. Focus leaves just you and the words. / opens a block menu, tables can be edited in place, and ⌘U underlines.
ON IPAD AND IPHONE DUO
On iPad, the list and the open card sit side by side, with a sidebar for your card types. Drop anything onto Hirsla to save it, or drag a card out as its original. On iPhone Duo, Hirsla uses the system's own toolbar and tab bar.
DRAW
Add a drawing as a card, with Apple Pencil on iPad or a finger on iPhone. Your handwriting is read on the device and can be found like any other text.
TIDY UP AS YOU GO
Mark a card fleeting and, if it goes unused for 30, 60 or 90 days, it moves to Recently deleted, where you can still put it back. Rummage takes you through your cards one at a time: right keeps, left lets go, up marks fleeting.
