Your Forever Memory - Device-native, private AI notes, no token cost. Capture voice memos, photos, links, videos, and rough ideas. Mindverse uses Apple Intelligence where available to help you find, organize, and transform what you save, then keeps the same notes available on iPhone and Mac through your own Google Drive. AI THAT RUNS ON YOUR IPHONE Mindverse uses Apple Intelligence where available. Your personal note content can be searched, organized, and transformed without a separate cloud AI account or per-token charges from Mindverse. CAPTURE MORE THAN TEXT - Photograph whiteboards, documents, or receipts and make the text searchable. - Save articles and YouTube videos with their content attached, not just the URL. - Write in Markdown or plain text. - Share from other apps directly into Mindverse. - Record voice memos alongside your written notes. ASK YOUR OWN NOTES Ask a question and get an answer grounded in what you saved, with the source notes still in view. Mindverse uses Apple Intelligence where available by default. TURN NOTES INTO USEFUL OUTPUTS - Summarize a long note. - Clean up rough writing. - Create flashcards. - Turn notes into checklists. - Combine several notes into one. - Run a one-off prompt or write a reusable skill in plain English. GOOGLE DRIVE SYNC. NO LOCK-IN. Google Drive sync is included. Mindverse syncs notes, photos, and voice recordings across your devices through your own Drive, not Mindverse servers. Every note remains a plain Markdown file on your device, so you can open it in other tools or keep a readable backup without Mindverse. There are no ads, no proprietary note format, and no per-token charges for on-device AI. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC Mindverse supports App Intents and Apple Intelligence on iPhone and Mac where available. Your notes remain portable Markdown files and stay in sync through your own Google Drive.

Modrift is a lightweight client for quickly opening, reading, and lightly editing files stored in the cloud โ€” right from your iPhone. Not a heavy notes app: just open, read, and tweak, as fast as possible. Key features - Open Markdown files (.md / .txt / .markdown) with clean formatted rendering - Launch straight from Files or any app via "Open in Modrift" - Keep your own working home (iCloud โ€บ Modrift): list, create and organise files there - Switch between Home (by place) and Recent (by time) - Toggle between edit and preview with one tap - A formatting toolbar above the keyboard in edit mode โ€” headings, lists, checkboxes, bold and more, one tap each - Automatic saving (no manual save button) - Full-text search, and sorting by date modified or name - Turn to landscape for longer lines โ€” easier on long paragraphs and tables - Japanese / English interface Beyond Markdown - View images (PNG / JPEG / GIF / HEIC / WebP) with pinch to zoom โ€” free - View PDFs with paging and zoom โ€” Modrift Pro (one-time purchase) - View Word documents (.docx) formatted, with headings, lists and tables โ€” Modrift Pro - View Excel workbooks (.xlsx) as tables, with sheet switching โ€” Modrift Pro Markdown, text and images stay free. Only PDF, Word and Excel viewing is part of Modrift Pro โ€” a single one-time purchase, no subscription. These formats are view-only; they cannot be edited. About your home and editing - Files in your home (iCloud โ€บ Modrift) are editable in place, and edits sync to iCloud - Files outside your home (Dropbox / Google Drive, or iCloud Drive outside the Modrift folder) are view-only. To edit one, use "Copy to Home" and edit the copy (the original is not written back) - You can choose whether your home lives in iCloud or on this iPhone, in Settings Relationship to the Files app Modrift complements the Files app rather than replacing it. Leave general folder management to Files; Modrift focuses on formatted Markdown viewing, light editing, and tidying its own home folder. The name combines Mo (Mobile / Motion) + drift โ€” the idea of thoughts and files flowing freely on mobile.
