Clair Mind
Read full descriptionHide full description
WHAT CLAIR MIND IS A private, local-first notes app. You capture a thought, it gets filed and titled for you, and over time you can see how your notes connect. Notes, notebooks, tasks and search all work fully offline and on-device. SIGNING IN โ PLEASE READ The app offers Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google only; there is no password-based login, so there are no demo credentials we can supply. Please tap "Sign in with Apple" and use your own Apple ID โ account creation is instant, free, and requires no payment. Everything except the AI features works WITHOUT any account. You can install, capture notes, create tasks, browse notebooks and search with no sign-in at all. The AI features require an account because each request costs us money per call and is metered per user. Signing in is free and includes 1,000 words of AI per month at no charge. WHERE TO FIND EACH FEATURE - Capture a note: the round "+" button, bottom right of any tab. Type, then Save. The note lands in "Unsorted". - Create a task: same "+" button, then tap the checklist icon at the bottom right of the sheet to switch from note to task. - Ask AI: the "Ask" tab, centre of the bottom bar. Type a question about your notes. Requires sign-in. Past conversations are behind the history icon, top left of that screen. - Connections: open any note, then tap the flower icon above the note body. - Notebooks: the "Notebooks" tab. Tap any notebook to see its notes. - Tasks: the "To-Do" tab. Tap a list to open it; tap the circle on a row to complete it. - Your activity, plan and settings: the "Me" tab, then the gear icon, top right. FREE VS PRO - Free, after signing in: the entire app, plus 1,000 words of AI per month. - Pro (auto-renewing subscription): a much larger monthly AI allowance and voice capture (the microphone in the capture sheet and in Ask AI). - The paywall appears when the free AI allowance runs out, and from the "Unlock AI with Pro" row on the Me tab. - Restore Purchases: Me tab โ gear icon โ Account. ACCOUNT DELETION Me tab โ gear icon โ Account โ Delete Account. It is a press-and-hold confirmation, then the account and its server-side data are removed. PRIVACY Notes live on the device. When you use an AI feature, the relevant note text is sent per-request to our AI provider to generate that one response; it is not stored server-side and is never used for training. This version adds analytics covering the first-run setup flow only, including a screen recording of onboarding with all typed text and images masked; recording stops before you reach your notes. Both are declared on the privacy label and in the app's privacy manifest, and described at https://clairmind.ai/privacy.

NoteCat
Read full descriptionHide full description
NoteCat is an AI note taker for voice memos, docs, PDF files, links, and typed text. Record ideas as they happen, import source material into the same project, and come back to clear notes, transcripts, and summaries later. Instead of keeping voice memos in one app, documents in another, and saved links somewhere else, NoteCat brings everything into a single workspace. It is built for people who collect information from multiple sources and still need a simple way to search, review, organize, and export what matters. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Record voice memos and audio whenever you need to capture an idea, discussion, interview, or reminder. - Import PDFs, docs, links, URLs, and typed text so source material stays beside your notes. - Transcribe recordings into readable text you can scan instead of replaying. - Review summaries and notes without losing the original context. - Search across notes, transcripts, documents, files, and links when you need a detail later. - Export notes or summaries when it is time to keep working elsewhere. BUILT FOR MIXED-SOURCE NOTES Useful notes do not always start the same way. A voice memo from a walk, a PDF from class, a saved link from research, an interview recording, or a typed note can all belong to the same topic. NoteCat helps you collect those sources in one place instead of forcing every note into the same input. That makes NoteCat useful for meeting notes, lecture notes, interview notes, study notes, project research, and everyday capture. You can keep the original recording, document, or link close to the final note, which makes review easier and helps you keep context. FROM SOURCE TO SUMMARY Raw audio, scattered files, and disconnected links are hard to revisit. NoteCat helps you move from source material to something easier to use. - Record audio or import an existing file. - Create transcripts you can search and scan. - Review summaries and notes without losing the original context. - Return to documents, links, and recordings whenever you need to verify details. WHY NOTECAT FEELS DIFFERENT Many note apps focus on only one kind of input. Some are mainly recorders. Some are mainly document tools. Some are built almost entirely around meetings. NoteCat is designed around the idea that better notes often come from several sources at once. That is why NoteCat combines voice memos, transcripts, summaries, docs, PDF files, links, and text in one place. The goal is not only to capture information, but to turn it into organized notes that stay connected to the material behind them. MADE FOR REVIEW, SEARCH, AND ORGANIZATION When a note matters, finding it again matters too. NoteCat helps you keep projects easier to review by keeping notes, transcripts, summaries, documents, and source material connected. - Review key ideas faster. - Search across notes and source content. - Keep related work together inside projects. - Export what you need when you are ready. Whether you are recording a meeting, saving study material, reviewing interviews, or collecting research from different places, NoteCat gives you a calmer way to turn information into clear, useful notes.
