Save it in a tap. The AI files it. And brings it back right when you would forget. Every notes app is a graveyard of saved things. CatchNote is the one that resurfaces them. A second brain that does not ask you to maintain it. More CatchNote is an AI note taker, notepad and bookmark manager for people who save more than they read. Made for savers who forget You bookmark articles. You forward yourself links. You screenshot recipes. Most of it disappears into the drawer. CatchNote is the app for what happens after you save. It is a second brain, note taker and notepad in one, for people who liked the idea of Obsidian but not the maintenance. Key features AI note taker. From any app, share a link, a tweet, an article or a screenshot to CatchNote. The AI reads it, summarizes it, and tags it. Save with a share. Recall with a word. Notepad and notebook in one. Type a quick note, save a link, capture an idea. Everything lands in the same searchable notebook. No plugin to install. No folder tree to maintain. Bookmark manager reimagined. Traditional bookmarks let you save. CatchNote lets you save and then find it again. Full-text search across every note. Tag folders by topic. Filter by source (X, LinkedIn, Safari, YouTube). Resurfacing (the point of the whole app). When something you saved becomes relevant, the AI brings it back on its own. A weekly digest surfaces three cards from what you saved this week. A forgotten cards feed pulls back items you have not opened in a while. Serendipity connections show up when a new save relates to an old one. Second brain, without the maintenance. No plugins. No folder trees to build by hand. No links to draw. The AI does the filing. Only what you chose to keep. CatchNote does not watch your screen. It does not read your messages. It only knows the things you decided were worth saving. Yours to take out. Markdown export with YAML frontmatter. Your knowledge is not locked in. Made for Solo learners drowning in playlists, saved reels and unread bookmarks. Students overwhelmed by course materials. Professionals who want the knowledge to stick, not just be captured. People who tried Obsidian and gave up on the upkeep. People who tried Apple Notes and lost track. How it works 1. From any app, share to CatchNote. The share sheet is the whole interface. 2. The AI reads what you shared. It summarizes. It picks a category. 3. When you would have forgotten it, CatchNote resurfaces the card. In the weekly digest, in the forgotten cards feed, or when a new save connects to an old one. Privacy Your saved items live in an on-device database on your phone. The AI classification runs through anonymous cloud calls that do not carry your account. Your knowledge is yours. Export to Markdown at any time. Pricing CatchNote is free with a hundred saves and gentle ads. CatchNote Pro at $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year removes ads and lifts the save limit. No lock in. Cancel anytime through the App Store.

AllisWell

AllisWell keeps your whole day in one place: tasks, projects, notes and files, with reminders strong enough to actually get you out of a meeting on time. The source is public, it works offline, and there is no paid tier, no ads and no tracking. ONE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE DAY • Capture a task in seconds, with or without a date. An Inbox holds unplanned thoughts until you are ready to schedule them. • Home lays the day out chronologically — overdue, today, this week, the next 30 days — next to a month calendar. • Flip the same day into a Board: kanban columns you name, hide and reorder, with drag-to-move. • Projects get colors, favorites, archiving, and their own Tasks, Notes and Files tabs. • Tag inline by typing #tags, and set priority from none up to urgent. REMINDERS THAT DO NOT WHISPER • Reminders arrive at the exact minute you set them, not "around then". • Urgent tasks ring with a real alarm sound instead of a notification chime. • Ignore one and it keeps coming back, re-alerting on a chain across the next half hour until you acknowledge it. • Snooze in one tap: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or tomorrow morning. • A privacy mode hides task content on the lock screen. NOTES AND FILES • Rich-text notes with inline images and video, linked to your tasks and projects, exportable as Markdown. • Attach files to tasks, notes and projects — up to 10 MB per file on the hosted service. • A workspace-wide Files section with nestable folders, plus a Files tab inside every project. OFFLINE FIRST, ALWAYS IN SYNC Everything works with no connection: create, edit, complete, search. Your changes are queued on the device and pushed when you are back, and they land on your other devices in realtime. CALENDARS • Google Calendar syncs both ways — your tasks become events, and edits you make in Google come back to AllisWell. Your other Google events show up next to your tasks on Home. • Apple Calendar is one-way in this version: the tasks you choose are written into the calendar you pick. SEARCH THAT IGNORES ACCENTS Search ignores case and accents across the Latin alphabets, so "muller" finds "Müller" and "cafe" finds "café". It runs over the copy of your data on the device, so it answers instantly and works offline. ALSO IN THE BOX • Home-screen widgets mirroring your Home buckets (iPhone, iOS 16 and later). • English and Turkish, following your system language. • Light and dark. YOURS TO HOST The entire app and server are public on GitHub, and you can run the whole thing yourself with a single docker compose command — your data in your own MySQL, on your own machine, reachable at your own domain. Free for personal use. Use our hosted service or your own server; it is the same app either way. NO PAID TIER. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. There is no subscription and nothing locked behind one. There is no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDK in the app — none. We do not sell or share your data with anyone. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, in the app, without asking us. Privacy policy: https://alliswell.space/privacy Source code: https://github.com/mahirozdin/alliswell
