Some thoughts only last a few seconds. A measurement. A doctor's instruction. What someone asked you to pick up. EyeNotes is built for those. Hold the button and talk. Let go, and it's saved β€” no title, no folder, no tags. Two seconds, and it's out of your head. WHAT YOU CAN CAPTURE β€’ Voice β€” hold and speak. EyeNotes transcribes it so you can read it later, or search it. β€’ Photos β€” snap a label, a receipt, a shelf, a parking bay. β€’ Text β€” type it if that's quicker. Everything lands in one list, newest first. There is nothing to organise, because there is no filing system to keep tidy. YOUR NOTES STAY ON YOUR PHONE This is the part that matters most. Your notes, recordings and photos are stored on your own device. We don't hold a copy, and we can't read them. Transcription and search run on the phone itself, which is why EyeNotes still works on a plane, in a basement, or anywhere with no signal. We never use your notes to train AI models. Not now, not later. ASK FOR IT IN PLAIN WORDS Weeks later, you don't remember what you called it β€” you remember what it was about. So ask the way you'd say it out loud: "What were the shelf measurements?" "What did the plumber say?" "Anything about the kitchen?" EyeNotes finds it and answers. No keywords to guess, no folders to open. Some questions need more computing power than a phone has. When that happens, EyeNotes asks your permission first, and sends only the text needed to answer that one question. If you'd rather not, say no and it answers with what it can do on the device. The choice is yours every single time. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE β€’ A carer keeping track of medication times and what the doctor actually said. β€’ A tradesperson taking measurements with both hands busy and no free hand for a pen. β€’ A parent capturing three things at once on the school run. β€’ Anyone who's ever thought "I'll remember that" and then didn't. WHY PEOPLE STAY No account needed to start. No sign-up wall, no email, no password β€” open it and capture something. No filing. Most notes apps ask you to be organised. This one doesn't ask anything of you. Nothing to lose. Export everything, any time. Your notes are yours, and they're on your device. Works offline. Always. Get it out of your head. EyeNotes will remember. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://eyenotes.app/privacy/
