PhotoNotes: Light Notes helps you capture everyday notes from photos, text, voice, reminders, and documents without cluttering your camera roll. Save a receipt, sticky note, whiteboard, label, document, errand, or idea. Add a title, text, tags, voice, location, and a reminder, then keep the compressed photo inside PhotoNotes instead of mixing it with your regular photos. OCR can turn visible words in a photo into searchable text. Voice notes can be recorded or imported, with speech recognition for searchable transcripts. You can also create simple text notes, mark notes as done, pin important items, filter what needs action, and export text, photo, audio, or an image-based PDF. PhotoNotes is designed for quick, practical notes that stay easy to find later. Key features: - Create notes from camera, scanner, photo import, voice, or text - Store compressed photos separately from the camera roll - Use OCR to make photo text searchable - Record or import voice notes with searchable transcripts - Search by title, body, tags, OCR text, and voice transcript - Add local reminders and mark notes done - Pin important notes and filter what matters - Export text, photo, audio, or an image-based PDF - Choose recognition language for OCR and voice - No account required PhotoNotes stores note content locally on your iPhone. Camera, photo library, microphone, location, speech recognition, and notification access are requested only when you use the related feature. PhotoNotes is free and built to improve over time.
