A rich web editor, native mobile apps, and AI that actually reads your notes. Rich text + checklists + freehand canvas + voice memos — round-tripping across every device.
Notes, checklists, sketches, voice memos, and documents — all searchable, organized, and yours.
Slash commands, tables, math, headings, inline images, and L/C/R/J alignment. [[Note titles]] auto-link.
Add deadlines, recurring schedules, and browser-push notifications. Tasks ping you before they slip.
Record on the go. Auto-transcribed to text. Variable playback speed (0.5×–2×) on web and mobile.
Ask your notes anything. Cited answers with sources, @mentions to pull in specific notes.
Auto-generate quizzes from your notes or uploaded PDFs. MCQ, true/false, flashcards, fill-in-the-blank.
Pen, eraser, rect / ellipse / line / arrow shape tools. Sticky notes, inline images. Strokes persist as vectors, not pixels.
Lock sensitive notes behind a PIN or fingerprint. 30-day trash recovery. Soft-delete by default — undo any time.
Import .md, ZIP, or folders. Export your whole library as a Markdown zip with YAML frontmatter. Your data is yours.
Phone, tablet, web — same notes, always in step. Mobile keeps working offline; web stays live.
Group books inside books. Save searches as smart folders that auto-update — #work color:red since:7d.
Daily word goal with streak. Pomodoro-style focus sessions auto-engage reading mode and credit your streak when the timer ends.
Read-only public URLs with optional password and expiry date. Rotate or revoke anytime. Recipients can translate to their language.
Translate any note into 8 languages — replace in place or save as new. App UI also fully localized (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Swahili).
30 snapshots per note, auto-saved. Side-by-side word-level diff against any version, restore in one click.
Every image across your library in one grid. Reminders on a month calendar. Auto-generated outline for every long note.
Two AI features built on your real content — never generic answers, always grounded in what you've written.
Ask anything. NoteChat reads your notes, finds what's relevant, and answers with citations — so you can verify and jump straight to the source.
Pick notes or upload PDFs and DOCX. NoteQ generates multi-choice, true/false, short answer, flashcards, and fill-in-the-blank — with explanations and source citations.
A three-pane workspace built for keyboard-driven thinking. Everything from your phone, plus the things only a big screen can do well.
Sidebar with nested notebooks + smart folders, scrollable note list, full editor, contextual right rail.
⌘K to jump to any note. ⌘\ for reading mode. Slash commands inside the editor. Drag-to-reorder + multi-select.
Tags, related notes, NoteChat, and NoteQ — one tab away. Outline panel docks alongside long notes.
Full UI translation in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic (RTL), Chinese, and Swahili.
Your notes are encrypted. Your aesthetic is yours. Pick from 14 themes plus dark mode.
Some thoughts stay private. Lock notes behind a PIN, drawn pattern, or fingerprint — they disappear from the main list and reappear only after you unlock.

From classic purple to slate, sienna, mint, butter — paint the app in the colors that match your day. Dark mode included.
A pocket-sized recorder that captures the thought you almost lost. Tap to record, double-tap to bookmark — it syncs to your notes the moment you're back in range.
Live · Recording
Pebble is a 12-gram voice button with one job: catch the idea before it vanishes. Wear it as a pendant, swap to the wrist strap, or clip it to a bag. Everything you record lands in NotesHQ, transcribed and organized — no phone needed.
One place for the messy first draft and the clean final version. Rich text, handwriting, voice memos, sketches — all side by side, all searchable.
NoteChat reads everything you've written and answers questions in plain English. NoteQ generates quizzes from your own notes so you actually remember what you read.
End-to-end encrypted vault for the private stuff. No ads. No third-party tracking. We never train AI on your content. Delete your account and everything's gone within 30 days.
