local-ai-notes turns your notes into a structured knowledge system that organizes itself. Type anything β€” your notes are automatically clustered by meaning using machine learning that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud, no API calls, no tracking. KEY FEATURES - Automatic Semantic Clustering Notes group themselves by topic using on-device embeddings. No manual folders, no manual tagging. - Slash Commands /remind for reminders, /ask to query your notes, /calendar for events, /tag for tags, /lock for biometric protection. - Voice Input Speak naturally β€” local speech recognition transcribes and routes your input to the right action. - Knowledge Graph See how your notes connect. Force-directed visualization of semantic relationships. - Smart Mode (Optional) Download an on-device AI model (Gemma 3 or LFM2.5) for natural language answers grounded in your notes. PRIVACY-FIRST Everything runs on your device. We don't have servers. We don't track. We don't analyze. We can't see your notes β€” even if we wanted to. Your data is encrypted at rest, biometrically locked, and never leaves your iPhone. REQUIREMENTS - iOS 17 or later - iPhone XS or newer recommended - Smart Mode requires additional 1-3 GB free storage

About

Noti

Features
Read full description

Those things that feel too trivial for a heavy memo app, but too important to risk forgetting. Now, jot them down in Noti. I built Noti for myself because I’m a textbook spontaneous person (Extreme 'P'!) who hates complicated todo apps. You can stack up to 5 lock screen widgets (Notis). Anything goes! Sudden thoughts, brilliant ideas, urgent tasks, or quick appointmentsβ€”just jot down any simple thing. When you're done, just swipe to delete. Your created Notis stay pinned to your lock screen using Live Activities. Even without unlocking your phone, your tasks are always right in front of your eyes, so you'll never forget an important schedule again. (The Action Button and Shortcuts require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer model.) (Powered by Live Activities and Dynamic Island, you can set up to 5 real-time Notis and deadlines of up to 8 hours.)
