Orbit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Write messy. Find the patterns later. Orbit is a calm place to dump every thought โ work, life, half-formed ideas โ and make sense of them later. Not a diary. Not a wellness app. A mind you can search. Most notes go somewhere to be forgotten. Orbit is built for the opposite: the more you write, the more it gives back. CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION Open Orbit and write. No folders to pick, no tags to invent, no blank-page ceremony. Get the thought down โ from the app, the Share Sheet, or a Home Screen widget โ and move on. ASK YOUR OWN MIND ANYTHING Later, ask Orbit a real question โ "what have I been worried about lately?", "what did I decide about the launch?" โ and get an answer drawn from everything you've written, alongside the entries it came from. FIND THE PATTERNS YOU'D MISS Orbit quietly surfaces the themes running through your thinking โ the ideas you keep circling back to, the worries that recur โ so you can see what's hard to notice one entry at a time. A WEEKLY LOOK BACK Each week, Orbit reflects your thinking back to you: what you focused on, what shifted, what's worth returning to. BUILT TO BE CALM One clear thing to do on every screen. A warm, editorial design that feels more like paper than a dashboard. No streaks, no badges, no guilt. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Only you can see what you write. Orbit is a place for your real, unfiltered thinking. Write messy. Orbit finds the patterns later.

Nodisey is a modern workspace for notes, ideas, study materials, sketches, documents, and quick captures โ built for people who want more than a simple text note. Create flexible notes with rich text, headings, checklists, quotes, dividers, lists, code blocks, callouts, and tables. Add photos, camera captures, scanned documents, drawings, voice recordings, linked notes, web links, and PDFs inside the same note, so every idea can keep its full context. Nodisey helps you organize your work visually and quickly. Pin important notes, sort them into folders, lock sensitive notes, recover deleted notes from Recently Deleted, and set reminders for notes or individual blocks. The Contents view brings your note blocks together by type, making it easier to revisit images, scans, audio, PDFs, links, lists, tables, highlights, and recent content without opening every note one by one. For deeper work, Nodisey includes a dedicated Draw workspace, PDF annotation, image saving, block selection, block duplication, note sharing, selected-block sharing, audio timelines, source clips, study cards, and a review mode for learning. Deep Search helps you find notes, folders, text, scanned content, PDFs, drawings, audio-related content, links, and app destinations faster. On supported devices, on-device intelligence features can help suggest titles, summarize notes, extract action items, and create study cards from your own note content. Nodisey also supports shortcuts such as creating notes, voice notes, camera notes, searching notes, and opening notes from system search. Nodisey Pro is available as an optional premium subscription. Pro unlocks note creation beyond the free note limit, including additional text notes, voice notes, camera notes, Draw captures, duplicated notes, and new notes created from selected content.
