Context is all you need. Walk into every meeting with the right context already in front of you. iXnote is your Context Assistant. It gives you the right context, so you walk in ready and stay present in the room. CARDS, AND CONNECTED CARDS iXnote is built from one simple thing: the card. A card holds one thing. A person. A project. A meeting. A decision. Connect a card to the cards it relates to, and those connections become its context. Tap any card to see it in its context, the whole situation around it. FOLLOWALONG With FollowAlong, the context comes together as you talk. You never break stride to make it happen. It surfaces the cards that matter and captures the new ones, so you stay in the conversation and make the call. ON DEVICE FollowAlong runs entirely on your device, powered by the latest open-source AI models. Nothing you say is ever uploaded, and your cards stay in your own iCloud. It works on any iPhone, iPad, or Mac that supports Apple Intelligence. THE THINKING STAYS YOURS iXnote gives you the context. The thinking stays yours: the conclusions, the insight, the call in the room. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Just cards, and the connections between them. Simple enough to use in the middle of a meeting, ready to hold thousands of connected cards. ONE TAP FROM YOUR CALENDAR Import your meetings with one tap. iXnote makes connected cards for the people, the companies and the meeting itself, so the room is mapped before you arrive. AUTOMATE THE BORING PART Twelve Shortcuts actions put your cards within reach of everything else on your device. Make cards, connect them, find them, open one, or read back a day's transcript. Every card also has an appendix, text that stays out of the way but stays searchable, so your automations have somewhere to write.

You have goals. You have things you want to accomplish. But sometimes, staying focused long enough to actually do them is the hardest part. Rush Hour helps you take back control of your time. Start a focus timer, record your work session in timelapse, block distracting apps, and reflect on how you actually spend your time. FOCUS WITH A TIMER Set a timer and commit to the task in front of you. Whether you're studying, working, creating, or simply trying to get something done, give yourself a dedicated space to focus. RECORD YOUR WORK Turn on timelapse while your focus timer runs. See your work session from start to finish and make your effort visible—not just the final result. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS We all have those apps we open without even thinking. Block distracting apps during your focus session to make it easier to stay away from the things that pull you off track. REFLECT AFTER EVERY SESSION When your session ends, take a moment to look back. How many times did you get distracted? How did the session go? Did you show up for the work you wanted to do? TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Build a clearer picture of how you spend your time and how consistently you show up. Use your sessions as a reminder that progress comes from small efforts repeated over time. Progress doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to keep moving. Start your next session. Show up for yourself.
