Most notes apps make you choose: a clean writer (Apple Notes), a heavy database (Notion), or yet another AI chatbot. Nota is none of those. Capture by voice, type, sketch, or scan on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch...then refine with AI right inside the note. Talk in 45 languages, scan any page without the ChatGPT detour, pick your model (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok and more). Fast, local-first, private. Not a chatbot — it starts with your words. Free to start.
Confession: I've lost more good ideas in the shower, on walks, and halfway out of meetings than I'll ever admit. The thought always arrives at the exact worst moment to type. So I built Nota...to catch the idea before it escapes, then actually help you do something with it.
One breath: speak it, type it, sketch it, or scan it...then let AI shape it. On iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. A few things we're weirdly proud of:
🎙️ Talk instead of type. Record a brain dump, even from your Apple Watch mid-run — and get it transcribed in 45 languages. 📸 Stop emailing photos to ChatGPT to read text. Scan any page, receipt, whiteboard, sign, or business card in any language and the words land in your notes instantly — searchable, editable, yours. ✏️ Your messiest scribble can still become a masterpiece. Highlight it, tap a Quick Action - Cleanup, Expand, Professional, Genius, Summarize. Done! 🤖 Nota is not a chatbot. (Yes, that's the name.) It starts with your words. AI shows up only when you ask, and on Pro, you pick the brain: OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini. 💎 Liquid-glass UI, custom themes, a floating Apple-Music-style audio player, and even live HTML preview for the tinkerers.
Free to start with unlimited local notes. Pro adds sync, collaboration, exports, and the good models. Built in Tokyo for anyone who thinks faster than a blank page can keep up. Genuinely want your feedback, feature requests, and your worst handwriting to stress-test the scanner. 🙏
What's the last idea you lost because you couldn't write it down fast enough?
The multi-modal capture is such a smart idea, so many notes apps forget that not every thought arrives as text.
Really interesting use of voice AI! We're building in a similar direction with Vokio — voice agents that handle inbound calls for local businesses (dental clinics, restaurants, etc.). The challenge of making voice feel natural is real. How are you handling latency on the transcription side?
The multi-modal capture (voice, sketch, scan) is genuinely useful but what does the AI do with notes after you capture them? Does it help you resurface things at the right moment, or is it mostly just reformatting on input?
A lot of tools either feel like a lightweight writer (Apple Notes/Bear) or a heavy workspace (Notion). What are the 1–2 specific moments in a real workflow where Nota consistently wins and makes people stop going back?
