CROSSNote: your life, connected. Calendar, tasks, ideas, notes, health and goals in one place. Because your life doesn't happen in separate apps. CROSSNote is a personal operating system for the Apple ecosystem. It helps you organize your day, preserve what matters and understand how you spend your time and energy. YOUR DAY, ALL CONNECTED Plan and see what's ahead without separating your tasks from your activities. - Calendar and tasks in one unified view. - Day, week and month views. - Workouts integrated into your schedule. - Priorities, deadlines and subtasks. - Areas and lists to organize your projects. MORE THAN A TASK A meeting can include notes, a recording and decisions. A project can bring together files, images and ideas. In CROSSNote, everything stays connected to the relevant record. - Add notes, photos, drawings, files and audio. - Record and transcribe conversations with speaker separation; rename participants and edit the transcript. - Organize records with AI assistance. - Capture ideas without having to classify them immediately. - Record directly on Apple Watch and send audio to My Ideas/Inbox; where supported, give it a title by voice. - Find what you've saved with text or semantic search. Capture now. Find it later. SEE HOW YOU LIVE Where does your time really go? Which areas of your life take up the most space? Life Model brings your activities together and organizes them by life area, showing how you spend your time across weeks, months and years. A perspective for reflection, not judgment. UNDERSTAND YOUR HEALTH IN CONTEXT Your calendar shows what you do. Your body tells another part of the story. CROSSNote brings information from Apple Health and compatible devices into a more complete picture: - Sleep, sleep stages and efficiency. - Heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV). - Workouts, training load and estimated recovery. - Energy, stress and mental focus indicators. - Charts and trends over time. Health indicators are estimates for informational purposes and are not medical diagnoses. LIVE WITH INTENTION It's not about doing more and more. Set intentions for your day, week or longer periods, record how you feel and keep the things that truly matter to you in sight. FIND WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU'D FORGOTTEN Ideas, meetings, conversations, notes and projects can remain valuable long after they happened. With semantic search, you can find records by meaning, even when you don't remember the exact words you used. AN ASSISTANT WITH CONTEXT CROSSNote's AI assistant can access selected information from your calendar, tasks and health to answer questions about your day, help you review a task or explain how you slept. It's not here to make decisions for you, but to help you better understand your information. YOUR LIFE. YOUR DATA. Your personal records are stored on your device and in your iCloud, not on CROSSNote's own servers. Some AI features send the necessary context to external providers to process your requests. Privacy, autonomy and user control are built into the design. Start by organizing your day. Discover everything you can connect over time. CROSSNote. Your life, connected.
