OpenNotes vs AI 360 Video

OpenNotes is a simple, free, open-source notes app built for handwriting, PDFs, and focused organization. Create notebooks, import PDFs, write with Apple Pencil, add images or text, organize notes into folders, and export your work when you need it. OpenNotes is local-first and privacy focused. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Your notes live on your device, with optional backup to your own iCloud so they survive a lost iPad or a deleted app. Nothing is ever sent to us — your notes stay in your Apple account, readable by no one else.

You shot it in every direction. Now watch it that way. A player for the 360 video already in your library — the files a panoramic camera leaves you with, the ones ordinary players show as a warped mess. Turn your phone and the picture turns with you. Then take the view out with you. What you were looking at becomes a photo, or a clip that plays anywhere. --- Look around, three ways • Follow the phone — turn where you want to look and the picture follows • Drag with a finger instead, for watching while walking or lying down • Lock the framing where you left it, and let the video play on • Pinch to zoom in on something across the square Keep what you found • Save what is on screen as a photo, in the direction and zoom you were watching • Record it as a flat clip — an ordinary video anyone can open, with no headset and no special player • Playback from half speed to two and a half times, for finding the moment Hide the people you did not mean to film • Scan a video for faces, and every face it finds is hidden before anything leaves the app • Review them as a grid of pictures — clear ones, not blurred thumbnails, because you cannot judge a face you cannot see • Take back anyone you want left visible: the performer on stage, your own family • Add what the scan missed by tapping them while you watch • A mosaic instead of a blur, when it should be obvious that something was hidden on purpose • A long scan carries on if you leave the screen, and picks up where it stopped rather than starting over Cover the tripod • Every 360 camera leaves a blemish directly below it — the tripod, or your own feet • Put an image over it: your own picture, or the code that points back here • Size, angle and strength are yours; the preview looks straight down, which is the only view where you can judge it • The result is still a 360 file, tagged so other players know it One pass, not two Hiding faces and covering the bottom happen in the same encode. A long 4K clip is not something to convert twice, and the app will not ask you to. --- Your footage stays yours • Playback, detection and encoding all run on your device • Your videos are read where they already sit in your library — a multi-gigabyte file is never copied to make it play • Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to create • The app is free and supported by ads • The privacy policy and terms are available from inside the app Good for: • Watching what your panoramic camera shot, without a headset • Pulling an ordinary clip out of a 360 recording to send to someone • Sharing footage of a public place without sharing the strangers in it • Covering the tripod that is in every single shot Turn your phone. That is the whole interface.
