1dea vs Note Whisperer

Ideas never make an appointment. 1dea catches them in a second, files them without effort, and hands them back just when you had forgotten them. Made for people who write, teach, research or simply think: aphorisms, quotes, talk outlines, hypotheses, reading notes, projects. CAPTURE • From the app, from the Share button of any other app, or with Siri and Shortcuts ("Add an idea"). • Markdown formatting: headings, bold, italic, highlight, lists, quotes, code, links. • Formatting bar above the keyboard: code block, equation, highlight, bold, web link and backtick in one tap. • Code coloured by language: Python, Swift, SQL… more than 190 languages in all. • Automatic references: a DOI pasted into a note becomes a numbered call [1], and the full reference, in Nature style, is added at the end of the note. • LaTeX equations, on their own line or in the middle of a sentence. • The place where the idea came to you, added automatically if you wish. GET INSPIRED • A library of 22,539 ideas, in English and French: history, science, nature, film, music… to browse by category, by words or at random. • Take an idea: it opens in a new note, for you to rewrite in your own words and file in your own categories, with its source link. • Related ideas: those sharing the most words with the one on screen. FIND • Search by words, or by meaning: 1dea finds related ideas even when they share no word. • Coloured categories, tags and one-to-three-star ratings to filter in one tap. • Related ideas and links between notes to weave your thinking together. • A world map of your notes. • Ideas graph: a map of your notes and their links, in Tools. REREAD • Home Screen widget: a random idea, from the categories you choose, refreshed anywhere from every 15 minutes to once a day. • "Random idea" in Siri and Shortcuts as well. • Project note: gather several ideas into one working draft. MEASURE • Statistics by month, year, category and rating. • Vocabulary tools: how many words you have written, how many are still ahead of you (Chao2 estimator), and how varied your vocabulary is (Shannon entropy). SHARE • Copy or share an idea as a quote, with your signature. • JSON export and import of your whole library. YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS • No account to create: sync goes through your own iCloud, across iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac. • Search by meaning and statistics are computed on the device. • The idea library is built into the app and works offline. For a reference, only the DOI is sent to doi.org to fetch its record. • Lock with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode. Free, no ads, no in-app purchases. In English and French.

You connect your personal OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly for what you use. No subscription, no middlemen, no recurring charges. A few dollars of credit can process hundreds of voice notes. PRIVACY FIRST Your recordings stay on your device. Your API key is stored in the secure iOS Keychain. We don't collect, track, or store any of your data — we don't operate any servers. Nothing is sent anywhere until you grant permission: audio, transcripts and your custom vocabulary then go directly from your device to OpenAI, L.L.C. for transcription and analysis, using your own API key. You can turn that off at any time in Settings, and keep using Note Whisperer as a local voice recorder — and with "Save Without Transcribing", you decide note by note what gets sent.
