Remember everything — without the effort. Note Recall is where you put anything you don't want to forget: ideas, plans, thoughts, facts, moments. Jot it down however you like — no folders, no format, no journaling habit to keep up. Note Recall organizes it for you, connects related notes, and hands the right one back the instant you need it. And you don't have to be the only one writing things down. The people who help you — family, friends, or a professional caregiver — can add notes to your app too. No account. No sign-up. No ads. No AI charges. No daily limits. CHAT WITH YOUR NOTES Ask a question in plain language and get an answer grounded in what you actually wrote, with the source notes cited. It's like having a search bar that understands you — no more scrolling to find that one thing you jotted down weeks ago. INSIGHTS THAT SURFACE ON THEIR OWN Note Recall notices recurring themes, follows up on intentions you set ("did that stick?"), and gently surfaces patterns across everything you've captured — so you see the bigger picture without doing any extra work. FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND CAREGIVERS CAN ADD NOTES FOR YOU This isn't just for professional care. A son or daughter, a spouse or partner, a sister, a neighbor, a home health aide — anyone you invite can send a note straight into your Note Recall. "The A/C repair man is coming Tuesday at 10." — added by Sarah They never need an account or a subscription — they install Note Recall, you send them one invitation, and from then on they write you a note right inside Messages, the same way they'd text you. It arrives with their name on it and works exactly like a note you wrote yourself — ask Chat about it later, and it shows up in your Insights too. You stay in charge of all of it. Every note waits for your OK before it's saved, you choose who is allowed to send, and you can remove anyone at any time. Invitations are required — a stranger can't add anything — and notes are encrypted so only your device can open them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - The AI runs entirely on your device. Your notes are never sent to us or any AI service — we don't even have servers. - No account. No sign-up. No ads. - Your notes stay on your device and, if you turn on iCloud, sync privately across your devices through your own iCloud account. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE - A home-screen widget to capture a note in a tap - Light and dark mode - Fast, offline, and yours. Chat and Insights work without Internet access. TRY BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE Turn on Demo Mode to explore Chat and Insights on a set of sample notes before you commit — no strings attached. FREE & PRO Note Recall is free for up to 10 notes. Subscribe to Note Recall Pro for unlimited notes; everything else works exactly the same. - Note Recall Pro (Annual): unlimited notes - Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Note: on first launch Note Recall downloads its on-device AI model (a one-time download over Wi-Fi). Nothing you write ever leaves your device. Requires: - iPhone 15 Pro, or any iPhone 16 or newer - iPad with an M-series or A17 Pro chip (These are the devices with the 8 GB of memory the on-device AI needs.)
