## What is Infoplane?

Infoplane (formerly Infos) remembers everything, so you don't have to. From your partner's social security number to the seasonal settings for your heating, Infoplane stores all the little pieces of information you have been struggling to organize.

You can manage up to 10 infos for free -- unlock unlimited infos  with your choice of a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase.

ALL YOUR INFOS

There are a lot of small infos that do not really "fit" anywhere: your kids health insurance policy numbers, the license key for your favorite Mac app, you name it. Infoplane was created to let you store these information pieces in a fast and intuitive way while providing only minimal ways (tags, stacks, categories) to organize them -- keeping things intentionally simple.

QUICK INFOS SEARCH

Infoplane's super simple user interface is optimized for efficient access to information: the search bar is always on top allowing you to quickly search for text and tags (using a keyboard shortcut on your iPad) -- optionally narrowed down via the categories filter. In addition, Infoplane uses Core Spotlight to index information making it possible to find infos also via Spotlight and Siri.

SMART & SIRI-ENABLED

Every time you look up an info we let Siri know (of course only if you allow it and Siri is enabled). Over time this will allow Siri to suggest some infos proactively based on the time of day, your current location, or other usage patterns. Additionally we support Siri Shortcuts allowing you to automate your information-based workflows in an easy way.

PRIVATELY SYNCED ACROSS YOUR DEVICES

Infoplane uses Apple's secure iCloud to sync your infos across all your devices. This ensures a high level of privacy and there is no need for a separate account. Simply switch on "iCloud" in the General preferences view of the app on each device you want to have synced.

KEY FEATURES

- Clear User Interface. Optimized for quickly retrieving and adding short infos
- Tag-based Search. Search smarter by using tags in your info notes
- Organize using Stacks. Consolidate related infos into simple stacks

- Markdown. Use Markdown to bring more structure into your short notes
- Spotlight Integration. Your infos also show up in the built-in Spotlight search
- Siri Shortcuts. Supports Siri Shortcuts for easy automation of repetitive workflows
- Keyboard Shortcuts. Work more efficiently on your iPad using keyboard shortcuts
- URL Scheme API. Simple URL scheme-based API, e.g., for creating new infos from other apps

- Privacy by Design. Your infos stay on your devices and on your iCloud account only

### 3/5 — Missing Basic options

*2025-08-09*

Need to highlight found search results 

Need to be able to search within notes 

Add date and time stamp

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We initially designed Infoplane only for short notes, so we never thought about result highlighting or local search within notes (so far). Visualizing a created/modified time stamp for each info is a good idea -- we will definitely do this in one of the next updates (we already store these time stamps on the database level).

### 5/5 — Simple & Great

*2025-08-08*

KISS keep it simple stupid. Great app and powerful but very easy to use

### 5/5 — One of my killer apps

*2025-06-28*

Remember the early days of Info Select when all it did was let you put info tiles all over your desktop and then quickly find the random info you needed? Well this is basically that and I love it. Syncs across Mac and iOS devices. One of my most used apps - simple, colorful, quickly accessed anywhere.

### 5/5 — The best quick info manager available

*2024-11-01*

This used to be called InfoS and an easy extension of that results in InfoSelect, which used to be my all time favorite information manager in the PC days — now here it is for iOS! Perfect. Easily create notes, color code them, categorize them, and search with a couple letters to bring up all notes with that info in them. PERFECT. Even better, it syncs in the cloud so your notes are on iPhone, iPad, and your Mac desktop and/or laptop. One caveat - you sometimes need to open and close the app if you leave it open all the time so that it has the most current information and it doesn’t keep asking you to buy the software to continue to use. That’s a bug that has been here since Day One of InfoS and is retained in InfoPlane…easy fix, log out log back in. I love this and recommend it to everyone.

### 3/5 — Too expensive

*2024-07-10*

Simple and basic app. Does what it needs but way too expensive

### 4/5 — Potential Stashpad replacement

*2024-05-22*

Can’t attach images

### 3/5 — Great App - Overpriced, Though.

*2024-03-31*

As I say, the app is superb for it’s role and tasks, but I won’t take on any more monthly subscriptions and £50.00 to own an app of this smaller place in the workflow is far too much.

If it were, say £19.99 as a one-time purchase, then yeah, OK.

### 1/5 — Nettes Design, falsches Preis Modell

*2024-02-08*

Ist ja echt ne nette App. Aber die Monetarisierung geht so gar nicht. Als one time preis wäre das ein paar Euro wert und ein “no brainer” - aber als Abo? Come on. Vielleicht weniger Geld für Werbung bei Daring Fireball ausgeben… dann klappts auch mit weniger rip-off beim Pricing.

### 5/5 — My killer app

*2024-01-29*

This is my killer app. Nothing like it on Android. It’s like the old InfoSelect on pc’s. Just keep random notes and when you need info type a few letters of the word you are seeking and they all pop up for you. No complicated searching through files like Evernote or notability. Instantaneous and easy. You can color code and category code bits but there’s no need to. It syncs via cloud to your Mac or tablet as well. Super program.

### 1/5 — Kostet viel Geld

*2023-07-31*

Kostet nach 10Tagen Mücken für so ein bisschen service direkt gelöscht👎👎👎

**Developer response:** Tut uns leid, wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass Infos zu wenig bietet für den Preis. Wir möchten Sie aber darauf hinweisen, dass es KEIN zeitliches Limit bei der Nutzung von Infos gibt -- lediglich die Anzahl der speicherbaren Infos (Notizen) ist in der freien Version auf 10 Infos beschränkt.
