Mote Daily vs Grid Notes App

Mote turns your iPhone into a private voice recorder with on-device transcription. Record on iPhone or an optional paired Apple Watch, keep audio and transcripts on your device, and share only when you choose. • Record, pause, resume, play and share audio. • Built-in fast offline transcription and speaker labels. • Optional high-quality local transcription model (about 1.61 GB download). • A personal dictionary for high-quality transcription. • No account or sign-in required. Requires iOS 17 or later. On iOS 17–18, transcription runs in the foreground and pauses when you leave or lock the app. On iOS 26 or later, fast transcription can request continued background processing; availability is controlled by iOS. High-quality transcription requires the foreground on all supported versions. Recognition and speaker labels may contain errors. This version replaces the previous knowledge-base experience with recording and local transcription.

Instead of lists and folders, you get a zoomable grid where you can place notes wherever they feel right - cluster related ideas together, spread a project across the canvas, or keep a corner just for quick thoughts. FEATURES - Large canvas — pan and zoom freely across a grid canvas - Place notes anywhere — long press anywhere on the canvas to drop a note - Rich notes — add a title, body text, color, images, videos, and PDF attachments - Pin notes — lock important notes in place so they don't move while you pan - Search — find any note instantly by title or content - Export & import — back up all your notes as a single JSON file - Fully offline — everything stays on your device, nothing is sent anywhere DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No cloud sync. Just you and your canvas. Grid Notes is built for people who think spatially - writers mapping out a story, developers tracking ideas across a project, students connecting concepts, or anyone who finds flat lists too limiting. PRIVACY All your notes, images, and files are stored locally on your device. Grid Notes does not collect any personal data and has no internet connection.
