Capture in a tap. Find it instantly. Driftnote is the note app for people who capture fast but lose track of what they saved. Jot a thought, save a link, record a voice note, snap a photo — no folders, no setup. Then just ask: "what did the dentist say?" and get a real answer, with the exact notes it came from. All on your device — nothing ever leaves your phone. WHY DRIFTNOTE • One-tap capture, from anywhere — text, voice, drawing, link, document, photo, location • Ask your notes in plain language and get a cited answer, not a list of 200 results • Find by meaning, not just keywords — powered by on-device AI (Apple Intelligence) • 100% private — your notes never leave your device • Syncs across your devices with iCloud DRIFTNOTE PLUS Driftnote Plus is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited ask-your-notes and recall across your entire history. Free to use without it: unlimited capture, keyword search, and a taste of AI recall every month. • Monthly, annual (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings Terms of Use (EULA): https://codeful.notion.site/Terms-of-Use-2d74dae30045818daa5fd6cc30cbb20f Privacy Policy: https://codeful.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-2d74dae30045813d9bcfff4f56979e6a Made by an indie developer.
