Nayia transforms the way you capture and organize your thoughts, ideas, and projects—entirely on your iPhone, with no external servers. Tap the microphone button and speak. Nayia transcribes your voice into text in real time using Whisper, a speech recognition engine that runs directly on your device. Prefer typing? The keyboard is always available alongside it. Each thought is analyzed by artificial intelligence and automatically linked to the appropriate theme in your mind map or organized as a Kanban board. Themes are created and structured automatically. You can rename them, change their colors, and reorganize the graph with a simple gesture. Nayia uses Apple Intelligence and on-device AI models built into your iPhone. No subscription to third-party LLMs, no account required. Transcription, classification, summaries—everything works without an internet connection. On a plane, in remote areas, underground—Nayia is always ready. Nayia generates a structured summary of any project: key themes, points of convergence, tensions. In just seconds. Turn your thoughts into a task list that can be directly imported into Apple Reminders. From concept to action in one step. Have an Apple Watch? Raise your wrist, select a project, and dictate. Your thought is automatically added to the correct node in your mind map, instantly available on iPhone and iPad. A watch face complication gives you one-tap access to Nayia. Your projects sync between your iPhone and iPad via iCloud. Each theme can be named and color-coded. Eight distinct colors, optimized for readability in both light and dark modes. Note: Nayia requires an iPhone compatible with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later) for AI features. Apple Watch Series 6 or later is required for the companion app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nayia at none against Quick Notes's 3. Quick Notes's advantage is device support (5 vs 3) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
