Noteverse is an infinite canvas for your thoughts, notes and projects, without the rigid hierarchies of a traditional note-taking app. HOW IT WORKS Every note or folder is a node on an endless 2D canvas. Open a folder and you zoom into a whole new canvas; go back and you zoom out. Navigation is spatial, not a stack of lists, and you can nest folders inside folders as deep as you like. TWO VIEWS, SAME CONTENT Switch instantly between Canvas View, where you place things wherever you want, and List View, a tidy vertical list in the order you choose, perfect for writing fast. They're two ways of looking at the same notes, never two separate copies. ZONES, POST-ITS, PINS, PATHS, LINKS Group notes visually with Zones, put titles up big with Post-its, mark key points with Pins and connect ideas with Paths. Add direct links to WhatsApp, Telegram, Spotify, YouTube, Gmail or any website. EVERYTHING UNDER ONE THUMB The Control Hub at the bottom of the screen has a joystick to glide around and all your tools within reach. Long-press anywhere for a quick menu: create something new or jump to nearby elements. MEET ORBI A little alien on a flying saucer lives in a portal at the edge of your canvas. Pet it, throw it around, or land it on your map and watch it explore your notes on its own. You can turn it off anytime. BRING YOUR OLD NOTES Paste your notes from another app and AI sorts them into zones and folders for you. Your first import is free (account required). YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account needed to use the app: it works fully offline, local-first. Export your whole graph to a single JSON file whenever you want, with no lock-in. An optional account is only used for purchases and AI import. DESIGN Clean interface, dark mode by default plus a light theme, vivid or "Opaque colors", and a primary color you choose that even changes the app icon. Available in 17 languages.
