LearnVault is a note-taking app for knowledge organization and review. It helps you quickly turn useful content from your study or reading into reviewable knowledge entries, so you can revisit them anytime. Key Features Paste to save, generate entries fast Paste copied content directly into the app, and it will generate a title, summary, and tags for easier search and review later. Optional cloud LLM enrichment (subscription-based) When enabled, cloud LLMs generate more context-aware summaries and tags. If a request fails or quota is exhausted, the app automatically falls back to on-device processing to ensure availability. On-device processing with quota tiers The app offers different experiences for free and subscription tiers: the free tier includes on-device processing and limited cloud runs, while subscription tiers provide higher quotas and richer usage. Tag filtering, search, and detail view Filter by tags on the home screen, search titles/summaries/full text, and quickly find the knowledge you need. JSON export/import for backup Export all entries as JSON and import from JSON for easy backup and migration.

Keep your notes close. Local Memo organizes notes, folders, photos and voice recordings on your iPhone or iPad, without an account or cloud sync. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create as many folders as you need, nested up to 15 levels deep. Choose folder colors from a palette or fine-tune them with hue, saturation and brightness sliders. Move items between folders, use drag and drop, and switch between grid and list views. WRITE AND COLLECT Write notes with bold, red or blue text. Add photos directly to folders or attach photos and files to notes. Record and play voice memos alongside your writing. FIND WHAT YOU NEED Search folder names, note titles and text, photo names and attachment filenames. Matching text is highlighted to help you find the right item. LOCK PRIVATE FOLDERS Protect selected folders with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Your device must have a passcode set. The app does not store your password. Locked content is excluded from the Home Screen widget. MAKE IT COMFORTABLE Choose your own background color and black or white text. If a combination becomes hard to read, restore the default colors in Settings. Red and blue note text keeps its own color. QUICK ACCESS Use the small widget to create a new note, or the medium and large widgets to read a selected note. The layout adapts to iPhone and iPad, including landscape orientation. ON YOUR DEVICE Your notes and files stay in the app on your device. There is no account, advertising, analytics or in-app purchase, and the app does not sync through iCloud or an external server.
