**认真做一个笔记应用。** 记录这件事,本不需要那么复杂。打开,写,关掉。但我们想多做一点——让你写下的东西,真正有用。 **AI 看过你所有的笔记** 这是我们认为最重要的功能。 当你在编辑器里选中一段话让 AI 润色,它不是凭空改写,而是参考你其他笔记的上下文。AI自动为你的笔记生成标题与分类,它知道该归到哪个标签下,因为它读过你之前写的内容。 在主页和 AI 对话,问它「上周那个想法记在哪了」,它能找到。问它「帮我整理一下最近关于 XX 的思考」,它知道你说的是什么。 你的笔记不再是一堆散落的文件。它们被理解,被关联,在需要的时候能被找回来。 **你的第二大脑,如果你需要这么叫它的话。** **输入可以更简单** 长按录音,松手转文字。不用打开另一个应用,不用等进度条。 **该有的都有** 云同步,多设备。图片视频插入。长图导出。格式工具栏。 **不该有的一个没有** 没有会员等级,没有积分商城,没有社区广场,没有「猜你喜欢」。 我们只想做一个安静的、好用的笔记应用。
