Read full description

MesNote is a private, fast note-taking app that keeps everything in one place - text, checklists, photos, videos, and voice recordings, all organised the way you think. NOTES THAT WORK THE WAY YOU DO Each note is a stack of messages. Type a thought, attach a photo, record your voice, drop in a video - mix and match freely. Long press any message to edit, reorder, copy, or delete it. SMART CHECKLISTS Type a few items separated by commas and MesNote turns them into a checklist in one tap. Or start lines with a checkbox for to-do and done. Tap any row to toggle it. REMINDERS THAT FIND YOU Add a reminder from the note menu and pick a date and time. Or just type naturally in the composer - include words like "tomorrow at 3pm" or "next Monday 9am" and MesNote suggests the reminder above the keyboard. One tap to schedule it. AI COMMANDS - ON YOUR TERMS Type / in any note to open the AI menu. The AI never speaks unless you summon it, and it only sees the current note - never your other notes. Available commands: /summarize - key points at a glance /todos - extract a checklist from your text /ask - free-form question about this note /rewrite - rephrase in your voice /translate - pick any language TAGS AND SEARCH Add hashtags to any note. Filters appear automatically at the top of your list - tap a tag to see only the notes that match. CLOUD SYNC AND BACKUP Sign in once and your notes stay in sync across every device you use. Your content is backed up securely in the cloud whenever you are online. PRIVACY AND LOCK Protect sensitive notes with Face ID. What is locked stays locked - even in previews. TIME CAPSULES Seal a note and set a future date. It stays locked until the moment you chose. FREE TO START Use MesNote free with no time limit. Upgrade to Pro, Plus, or Ultimate for more cloud storage, more AI commands, and larger media uploads. Terms of Use: https://kiran-mesnote.web.app/terms-of-service.html
