Small notes. Real next steps. Plant a thought. Grow the next step with an AI note app built for goals, tasks, and ideas. IntentNote is not a place to let notes pile up. It helps you shape passing thoughts, unfinished tasks, and long-postponed goals into one step you can take today. If you have ever saved a note and then wondered what should happen next, IntentNote helps you find the thread again. Start With Questions A blank page should not be the thing that stops you. IntentNote gives each kind of thought a form to grow in. - General Notes: capture ideas before they disappear. - Deadline Tasks: keep dates, progress, and next actions in view. - Life Goals: turn a large direction into concrete steps. - Inspiration: gather the lines, ideas, and references you want to return to. Life Goals are designed around guided questions, so a vague ambition can become something you understand, refine, and begin. Organize With AI Lumi When you need help, Lumi helps you make sense of the note in front of you. - Summarize long notes into the essentials. - Suggest titles and keywords from your writing. - Break large goals into actionable steps. - Point out gaps and possible next actions. - Help you continue when a note has stalled. Lumi does not decide for you. It reads what you have written and helps make the shape clearer, while the final choice stays with you. From Notes To Action Good thoughts disappear easily. Big goals are easy to postpone. IntentNote turns notes from storage into a place where thinking settles, work starts moving, and goals keep their thread. Checkpoints and progress help you see where you are, what has changed, and what to do next. Pick Up Anywhere Start without an account — sign up later when you want your notes synced. Write on your phone and continue on another device. Keep writing offline; when you reconnect, your notes sync automatically. A Daily Line Of Inspiration Sometimes one short line can change the direction of a day. IntentNote brings you a daily moment of inspiration, with a home screen widget for today's line. Start a note that does more than collect your thoughts. Let it show the next step. IntentNote. Small notes. Real next steps.

When you need to focus, SAYDĀM : FOCUS blocks the distractions for you. Start studying and notifications from other apps — messengers, social media — are silenced. Real focus starts when nothing is buzzing. ■ Weekly timetable Draw your school, academy and self-study schedule on a weekly grid. Long-press to drag blocks around, snapping to 5 minutes. Build sets like Term and Break and switch the whole week at once. ■ Scheduled auto-lock Turn auto-lock on for any block and apps are blocked during those hours automatically — no need to open the app or flip a switch each time. An optional heads-up arrives 5, 10 or 15 minutes before a lock starts. ■ Study-group ranking Create a group and gather friends with an invite code. A weekly leaderboard shows who focused the longest this week. Together lasts longer than alone. ■ Weekly guardian report Register a parent's or mentor's email and a summary of last week's focus time is sent every Monday morning — only with the student's own consent. ■ Detailed stats See your longest focus session and the hours of the day you focus best. Know your rhythm, study smarter. ■ Core features are free The notification-blocking timer and the timetable itself are free. Auto-lock, ranking, guardian reports, detailed stats, and ad-free use come with a weekly subscription. Start today. Focus is a habit.
