Liusheng
Read full descriptionHide full description
Liusheng turns your voice into structured, searchable notes â and grows them into a personal knowledge base you can ask questions about. Record meetings, lectures, interviews, or a passing idea. Liusheng transcribes on-device, then AI cleans it up into a titled, summarized, tagged note with to-dos extracted. CORE FEATURES - On-device transcription: a built-in speech recognition engine turns recordings into text right on your iPhone. No upload, no network required, privacy first. - AI cleanup: after transcription, AI fills in the title, summary, tags, and to-dos â it only fills the blanks, it never rewrites your original text. - Knowledge cards: key points are distilled into atomic cards from each recording or imported document, so scattered knowledge stays at a glance. - Personal knowledge base with Q&A: every note and card feeds a knowledge base you can query in plain language. AI answers from your own content. - Knowledge graph and whiteboards: link related notes and cards into a network and lay your thinking out visually. - Document import: bring in PDF, Word, TXT, and spreadsheets â all converted into notes you can organize. - Everywhere you are: one-tap recording on Apple Watch, a home-screen widget for quick capture, and live recording status in the Dynamic Island. WHO IT'S FOR - Students and researchers: lectures, talks, and papers become notes with summaries the moment you stop recording. - Professionals: meetings, calls, and brainstorms turn into minutes and action items automatically. - Journalists and creators: interview transcripts, quick idea capture, and a growing material library. ON PRIVACY Liusheng is local-first: recording and transcription happen on your device, and your voice and notes stay with you by default. AI cleanup is optional and off until you turn it on â you'll see exactly what is sent and to whom before you agree.
NoteWorthy

Smart notes that never leave your device. NoteWorthy writes your titles, summarizes your notes, cleans up your formatting and files everything in the right place. All of it runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. There is no account to create, no server to trust and no internet connection required, because the app makes no network requests at all. NOW ON THE MAC NoteWorthy 2.0 is a native Mac app. It sits on the edge of your screen as a notebook of flaps, one per label: pull a flap and its notes slide out. Capture a note without leaving what you are doing, keep a sticky on the desk beside your work, and reach your recent notes from the menu bar. AI Format and AI Organize run on your Mac, not on a server. WRITE Rich text with real Markdown underneath. Checkboxes, headings, bold and italic, tables and images. Pick from six paper colors. Scan text straight out of a photo. LET IT ORGANIZE Every note gets a title and lands in Tasks, Work, Ideas, Info or Personal on its own. Make your own labels and pin the ones you use most. One tap on AI Organize tidies the whole library, and running it twice changes nothing, because filing reads what is already stored rather than asking a model to guess again. AI FORMAT AND AI SUMMARIZE Jot something down messily and let it become a proper structured note, with lists, checkboxes and headings, and your wording untouched. Or pull a long note down to a sentence or two. Preview both before anything is applied. EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Add to NoteWorthy from any share sheet, including Safari selections. Five Shortcuts actions for Siri, the Action button and automations, including Summarize and Format, which work on text from any app. Widgets for your Home Screen and your Mac desktop, with checkboxes you can tick without opening the app. Spotlight finds your notes. JOINED UP Dates become calendar events. People link to your contacts. Addresses open in Maps. Set a reminder before a deadline. YOURS ALONE Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Notes are written to disk with file protection. Export any note as Markdown and take it with you. Each device keeps its own notes: nothing is copied to a cloud. One download for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in 11 languages. Note: on-device intelligence needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Elsewhere NoteWorthy falls back to fast built-in heuristics and works just as well for writing, filing and search.
