Most note apps just store what you write. Scribelet keeps working on them. While you focus on the next thought, it quietly fact-checks your notes against the web or custom sources, finds connections between ideas you forgot you had, and helps you write more clearly with an AI assistant that actually knows your notebook. Capture by voice or typing. Then trust what's there. FEATURES • Background fact-checking. Scribelet scans your notes for claims, searches the web for evidence, and surfaces anything that doesn't hold up with cited sources and a clear diff. Accept, dismiss, or ignore. You stay in control. • Voice notes that structure themselves. Speak naturally; Scribelet transcribes and organizes the result into clean headings, bullets, and action items. Templates supported. • Snap it, don't type it. Attach photos, screenshots, and PDFs; Scribelet extracts the text so whiteboards, receipts, and documents become searchable notes. • Ask your notes anything. An AI assistant that searches everything you've written, answers from what's actually there, cites the source notes, and can suggest edits or create new ones for you. • Attachments are first-class. The AI assistant reads them, the fact-checker verifies them, and everything stays encrypted with your workspace keys. • Connections you'd never find yourself. A semantic auto-linker compares the meaning of every note (not just keywords) and surfaces surprising links. A daily digest and weekly insights resurface forgotten work. • Tasks where they belong. Add @due and @remind annotations inline; tasks live next to the notes that created them. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • Every workspace is encrypted with its own keys. • Voice recordings are processed in memory and never stored. • Passkey and two-factor authentication. • Optional: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API keys to route AI calls directly to your provider. WORKS EVERYWHERE Same workspace on iPhone, iPad, and the web at app.scribelet.app. Your notes follow you.
