OffNote AI

Read full description

OffNote AI turns your notes into a private knowledge base you can actually talk to. Write a memo, and OffNote AI quietly extracts the facts. Later, ask a question in plain language β€” who did I meet last Tuesday? what was that restaurant recommendation? β€” and get a direct answer from your own notes. Everything runs on your device. No data is sent to any server. No account required. HOW IT WORKS OffNote AI downloads a small AI model to your phone during setup. After that one-time download, it works completely offline. Your notes never leave your device β€” not even to generate answers. KEY FEATURES - Write and search notes with a clean, fast interface - AI automatically extracts key facts when you save - Chat with your notes: ask questions in natural language - Focus mode: ask about one specific note in depth - Conversation history across multiple chat sessions - Fully offline after the initial model download - No account, no subscription, no cloud storage - Choose from multiple on-device AI models in Settings WHY OFFNOTE AI? Most AI apps send your notes to a remote server to generate answers. OffNote AI runs the model locally, so your personal thoughts, plans, and records stay yours β€” always.

Remember what you worked on before the details disappear. Iris is a private, local-first work journal that makes it easy to capture small work updates, keep track of your progress, and build a useful record of what you’ve accomplished over time. Record a quick voice note or type an update, and Iris can organize it into clearer highlights, impact, blockers, people, and next steps. As your notes build up, turn your work history into weekly updates, monthly summaries, achievement records, or performance review drafts. With Iris, you can: - Capture quick work notes whenever something worth remembering happens - Record short voice notes and turn them into editable transcripts - Tag notes by project to keep different areas of your work organized - Organize messy notes into highlights, impact, blockers, people, and next steps - See your recent work, activity, and follow-ups from Home - Generate weekly recaps and manager updates - Create monthly summaries and achievement records - Turn your work history into yearly summaries and performance review drafts - Set reminders to build a consistent logging habit Built for the way work actually happens You don’t need to maintain a detailed journal every day. Capture a quick update when something moves forward, you solve a problem, receive useful feedback, unblock someone, or finish something you may want to remember later. Over time, Iris gives you a clearer record of your work β€” without turning work tracking into another heavy productivity system. Private by design Your journal entries and saved summaries are stored locally on your device. AI features are optional and only run when you choose to use them, including voice transcription, note organization, and summary generation. Iris does not store your raw journal entries or voice recordings. Iris Plus is available for higher AI usage limits and additional summary features.
