Start with a local vault in seconds: no account, no servers, nothing uploaded. ON-DEVICE AI • Turn a messy, rambled note into clean Markdown • "Clarify with AI" sorts your whole GTD inbox into Next Actions, Waiting For, Someday, Done, or Trash • Clean up dictation, summarize, and suggest tags • Powered by Apple's on-device models, so it works offline and nothing ever leaves your phone GETTING THINGS DONE, BUILT IN • Capture to your Inbox in a tap, by typing or voice, even from the Share Sheet • Process your inbox to zero, by hand or with AI • Next Actions by @context, plus Waiting For, Someday, and Projects • A weekly review that surfaces stalled projects and what you're waiting on • Inbox and Next Actions pinned to the top of your vault A REAL MARKDOWN NOTES APP • Folders, favorites, and instant full-text search, all offline • Syntax-highlighted code, callouts, tables, images, SVG, and tasks • Tap [[wikilinks]] to jump between notes, and see backlinks • Light and true-black dark themes YOURS, EVERYWHERE • Start on-device with no account • Sync across your devices with iCloud, or your own private GitHub repo • Obsidian-compatible: open the same vault on your Mac, and favorites sync with Obsidian bookmarks • No subscription.

On-device AI features require an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.

Core Hub is the iPhone and iPad app for your own Core Hub server: a self-hosted hub where your AI agents live, work and keep their memory. Talk to your agents, follow their work and approve what they want to do, from anywhere. You need a Core Hub server of your own, or one that someone runs for you. The app connects only to the server you choose.
