Most notes apps are just storage. You write something, it disappears into a list, and you never think about it again. Wisen works differently — it reads what you write and brings the right ideas back at the right moment. Echo finds threads across your notes and turns them into questions worth sitting with. Not generic prompts — specific questions built from what you actually wrote. Sometimes it connects two notes from different weeks and surfaces a pattern you hadn't noticed. Each session feels less like a review and more like continuing a conversation you forgot you started. Pulse delivers a daily brief built entirely from your recent notes. What you've been thinking about, what's still unresolved, what questions are worth returning to. It also drafts LinkedIn posts, emails, and more directly from your notes — your voice, your ideas, not a generic AI output. WisenChat lets you ask anything about your notes. What did you write about this topic last month? What's still unresolved? What decisions are you avoiding? It answers from your actual notes with citations — so you always know where the insight came from. Knowledge Map shows how your notes connect visually. Tap a link to open a cross-note Echo session between two related ideas. The map grows richer the more you write. Spaced repetition tracks which ideas you've genuinely learned and which ones need revisiting — at the block level, using a modified SM-2 algorithm. Mastered content is excluded automatically so you're never drilling what you already know. Everything is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before leaving your phone. AI features use OpenAI — only the content you actively engage with is ever processed, and none of your notes are used to train their models. Import PDFs, scan handwritten notes, drop in images and voice recordings. Works in 16 languages. No account required to start. The longer you use Wisen, the more useful it becomes. Your notes compound into real knowledge instead of disappearing.

Wiki LLM is a home for your knowledge on iPhone and iPad. Keep each subject as a topic, split it into subtopics, and read it as clean, linked pages. Your wiki is plain files in a folder you control: topics are folders and pages are self-contained HTML. Nothing is locked into a proprietary format, and you can open the same pages in any browser. WHY "LLM" Large language models are good at writing and maintaining well-linked pages. Use an AI agent on your computer to build a wiki, then read and organise it here. The iPhone and iPad app does not include an AI model and does not upload your pages. KEY FEATURES • Topics and subtopics: organise everything as folders, with numbered subtopics that keep their order. • Rich pages: read self-contained HTML pages with diagrams, callouts and interactive questions, all offline. • Linked knowledge: follow standard links and [[wikilinks]] between pages. • Tags: tag pages and find related ones across topics. • Markdown files: open and edit .md notes with live preview. • Open any folder: point the app at a folder from Files, or use the built-in library. • Light and dark appearance, which your pages follow. • No account needed: a short welcome topic is ready the first time you open the app. YOUR DATA No sign-in, no tracking. Your pages stay in the folder you choose.
