Flipnotes finally solves the notebook problem: the more you put in, the harder it gets to find anything. Stop organizing your notes — just capture them. Flipnotes records everything in time, files it automatically, and lets you flip through your days like a paper notebook. Intuitive from the first second, with deep functionality underneath, it becomes the daily companion you actually keep using. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Type a thought. Hold to record a voice note. Snap a photo with a zero-lag camera. Save a place with one tap. Jot a checklist. Share into Flipnotes from any app. There are no titles to invent, no folders to choose, no filing to do — you capture the moment you have it, and you're done. FLIP THROUGH YOUR DAYS Your notes live on a timeline you flip through like paper. Today is where you land; yesterday is one swipe away; last month is a few more. Everything stays where it happened — in its day, in order, exactly where your memory expects it. It feels less like an app and more like a notebook that turns its own pages. NO ORGANIZING. EVER. While you get on with your life, Flipnotes quietly sorts everything you capture: shopping lists, ideas, bills, menus, boarding passes, business cards, addresses, diary entries. Notes file themselves into categories automatically. You do nothing, and yet everything ends up in its place. FIND ANYTHING INSTANTLY Search across everything you've ever written, said, or photographed. Browse by category, scan your photos in the gallery, or see every place you've saved on your own beautiful map. Your notebook stops being a pile and becomes an index of your life. MENTION A DATE, GET AN AGENDA Write "dinner with Marie on the 17th" and it lands on your agenda by itself. Any date you mention — in any language, typed or spoken — becomes a calendar entry. Your plans assemble themselves out of your notes. VOICE NOTES THAT WRITE THEMSELVES Press, speak, done. Voice notes are transcribed automatically, so they're searchable like text and readable at a glance — and the original recording is always one tap away. TRULY OFFLINE-FIRST Everything works without signal. Capture for a week off-grid — on a hike, on a flight, in a dead zone — and it all syncs when you're back. Your notes are always on your device, never behind a loading spinner. And they're on the web too, so your whole notebook is waiting on any screen you open. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes are yours. No ads, no tracking, no selling your data. Mark any note private and it is never sent to any AI feature — a locked corner of your notebook for the things that stay yours alone. WORKS WITH YOUR AI (OPTIONAL) Connect Claude or any MCP-compatible assistant and talk to your notes: create a note from a chat, ask what's on your agenda this week, find that restaurant someone recommended. Whether you're capturing ideas, house-hunting, journaling, planning trips, or just trying to remember what happened last Tuesday — Flipnotes keeps up with your life and hands it back to you, organized. --- Flipnotes comes with a free one-month trial. Continue with Personal Plan or go Pro for heavy capture: more photos, more storage, more transcription. Subscriptions renew annually and can be cancelled anytime in your App Store settings.
