The capture app that files itself. Speak or type a thought, and ask your notes anything. INSTANT CAPTURE Take notes on the fly. Tap to type, hold to talk ā your voice note is transcribed and saved before the thought slips away. A clean timeline keeps your day in order. ORGANIZED INSTANTLY No folders to keep up. Fly Notes tags and dates each note as you enter it, and plain words become structure: "remind me to pick up meds in 10 mins" becomes a reminder that fires on time; "todo work send the invoice fri 9am" lands as a dated to-do filed under Work. NEVER MISS ANYTHING Reminders fire even when the app is closed. To-dos keep score until you check them off. And for the things that truly can't slip, Pro alarms cut through silent mode and Focus (iOS 26). SEARCH IN SECONDS Find anything by just asking. "What gift ideas do I have for Dad?" Fly Notes searches everything you've saved and answers in plain language ā with receipts: every answer links back to the exact notes it came from. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH Capture without opening the app: ⢠Apple Watch ā tap, talk, drop your wrist; your iPhone files it ⢠Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets ⢠Control Center and the Action Button ⢠Live Activity while you record ⢠Siri & Shortcuts ā capture or ask, hands free ⢠Apple Reminders mirroring, automatic YOUR LANGUAGE Capture in any language. Search and Ask understand English out of the box ā a free optional download adds 14 more: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your notes live on your iPhone ā not on our servers. When you use Ask, or turn on cloud transcription, the text or audio for that request goes to one of our AI providers (currently Google Cloud, Groq, Together AI, DeepInfra, or Anthropic; a retry may go to another of them) to produce the result ā through OpenRouter, Groq, and Anthropic. We only use providers that run under zero-data-retention terms or in safety retention mode: we tell you when, we don't store it, and they don't either ā at most a copy kept only to fix errors, stop abuse, or review safety, and never to train AI. FLY NOTES PRO Capturing, filing, and searching are free. Ask comes with a free allowance ā Pro raises the limits and adds iCloud sync across your devices and break-through alarms.

Just write it. ntoday takes it from there. Throw whatever's in your head at it, however messy. The next morning it puts back just the parts you need to hold on to. It doesn't tell you to get organised. It keeps things organised for you. ā Writing takes no thought One line goes to three places at once ā today's list, your appointments, and search. Hold ļ¼ and speak. You get the transcript and the original recording, kept together. Photos go in as they are. ā It brings things back before you go "oh ā right" Writing it down and never looking again is the real problem. So it looks for you. Ā· 7:30 in the morning ā only what's left over and what's due today. Nothing due, nothing rings Ā· 8:00 at night ā the unfinished ones, once, quietly Ā· Tick things off from a widget or your Apple Watch without opening the app ā What you wrote sorts itself To-dos, appointments, where you put it, shopping, things that repeat. No boxes to set up. Writing is enough. If something lands in the wrong box, one tap on "not this" takes it out ā and it remembers the shape. ā One word pulls it back out Type "dentist" and everything you wrote about the dentist comes back on a single sheet. When it was, what it cost, what they told you. ā When something repeats, it gets a crayon mark Write "sick again" across a few days and circles appear on a calendar. It isn't a feature you switch on. The notes become the tracker by themselves. Export it as one page to show a doctor or a vet. ā All of it on this device There is no server. There never will be. What you write does not leave the phone. No account, no sign-in. iCloud sync is off until you turn it on, and even then it only goes to your own private iCloud. Codes and passwords you jot down are hidden from summaries, previews, widgets and the lock screen. ā ntoday Plus ā buy once, keep it Four more boxes (money, people, codes, scraps), iCloud sync, three months of tracker history with its widget, and three paper colours. Not a subscription. No ads. The free app has no limit on how much you write, and search, the morning and evening nudges, widgets, Apple Watch, export and the archive are **always free**. Built for people who write things down and forget them. English Ā· ķźµģ“ Ā· ę„ę¬čŖ
