Fly Notes

The capture app that files itself. Speak or type a thought, and ask your notes anything. INSTANT CAPTURE Take notes on the fly. Tap to type, hold to talk — your voice note is transcribed and saved before the thought slips away. A clean timeline keeps your day in order. ORGANIZED INSTANTLY No folders to keep up. Fly Notes tags and dates each note as you enter it, and plain words become structure: "remind me to pick up meds in 10 mins" becomes a reminder that fires on time; "todo work send the invoice fri 9am" lands as a dated to-do filed under Work. NEVER MISS ANYTHING Reminders fire even when the app is closed. To-dos keep score until you check them off. And for the things that truly can't slip, Pro alarms cut through silent mode and Focus (iOS 26). SEARCH IN SECONDS Find anything by just asking. "What gift ideas do I have for Dad?" Fly Notes searches everything you've saved and answers in plain language — with receipts: every answer links back to the exact notes it came from. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH Capture without opening the app: • Apple Watch — tap, talk, drop your wrist; your iPhone files it • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Control Center and the Action Button • Live Activity while you record • Siri & Shortcuts — capture or ask, hands free • Apple Reminders mirroring, automatic YOUR LANGUAGE Capture in any language. Search and Ask understand English out of the box — a free optional download adds 14 more: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes live on your iPhone — not on our servers. When you use Ask, or turn on cloud transcription, the text or audio for that request goes through OpenRouter to an AI provider (currently Google Cloud, Groq, Together AI, or DeepInfra) to produce the result. We only use providers that run under zero-data-retention terms; we tell you when, we don't store it, and it's never used to train anything. FLY NOTES PRO Capturing, filing, and searching are free. Ask comes with a free allowance — Pro raises the limits and adds iCloud sync across your devices and break-through alarms. Terms: https://flynotes.app/terms Privacy: https://flynotes.app/privacy
