Lampira

Your notes deserve better than a folder they'll never leave. Lampira is a private, local-first notes app with the power of a knowledge graph — without the setup, plugins or folder rituals. Open it, write, and watch your notes turn into flashcards, mindmaps and a living map of what you know. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH • Zero configuration. No vaults to wire up, no plugins to install — the graph, the cards and the calendar are simply there. • An editor that feels like paper: headings, checklists, quotes, images, tables — one tap or one "/" away. • [[Wikilinks]] quietly weave every note into a knowledge graph and mindmaps you can actually see. REMEMBER WHAT YOU WRITE • Mark a line as a cloze — it becomes a flashcard by itself. • FSRS, the modern spaced-repetition algorithm, schedules each review for the exact moment you'd start to forget. • Exam mode: choose the cards, set the date — get an honest daily plan that has every card ready on the day. PLAN THE WEEK • A real calendar: categories, reminders, daily notes — synced through your own private iCloud. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE — NOT BY PROMISE • Your notes live on your device and, if you turn on sync, in YOUR iCloud. We run no note servers. There is nothing for us to read, leak or sell. • No trackers. No analytics SDKs. Ever. • AI is optional and on your terms: on-device Apple Intelligence, or your own API key — stored in the system Keychain, talking directly to the provider you chose. For students, doctors, engineers, teachers — anyone whose notes are supposed to end up in their head, not just on a disk. Free today. Your notes stay yours forever.

About

Synapse AI

Features
Read full description

Synapse is a planner that connects your daily tasks to your goals. Each goal splits into stages, each stage into concrete tasks, and progress is tracked automatically. Syn, the built-in assistant, updates your plan from a single sentence, typed or spoken. HOME SCREEN WIDGET • Check off today's tasks right from the widget • Tap Speak and say "add a 5 dollar coffee expense" — it's logged in Finances • Tap Report to hear your daily summary read aloud GOALS AND STAGES • Goals, stages and tasks in one place • See which of today's tasks move you toward a goal • The goal map shows everything at once, so stalled goals stand out SYN, YOUR ASSISTANT • Talk naturally: "move the call to Friday", "plan my day" • Syn updates the plan and shows exactly what changed • Dictate tasks with automatic punctuation • Morning report: what's urgent, what slipped and where to start • Listen to Syn's replies TASKS • Today, Tomorrow, In two days, This week and Later • Set a day, a deadline like "by 6 pm" or a time slot like "10:00–11:30" • Repeat by weekday or day of the month, subtasks, reminders • Missed tasks stay on your list, so nothing quietly disappears FINANCES • Log an expense in one line: "coffee 4" — amount and category are filled in for you • Debts, savings jars and subscriptions with monthly totals • See how much money is free right now, no spreadsheets needed FOCUS AND CALM • Pomodoro you can see: time drains like a wave, a fuse burns down under the timer • Meditation with rain, forest, fireplace, night and more — each sound has its own living scene ALSO INCLUDED • Notes with folders and shopping lists • Daily progress and a two-week chart on the My Focus screen • 22 color themes, light and dark mode, adjustable text size YOUR DATA Tasks, goals, lists and notes live on your iPhone and in your personal iCloud. Want them on your computer too? Turn on device sync and open synapseapp.ru — data travels end-to-end encrypted, so we can't read it. If iCloud is off, the app lets you know, and you can export a full backup as a single file. No ad trackers, no advertising identifier. Planning works offline; only the assistant and sync need an internet connection.
