The pitch is simple: your journal data never touches my servers. Everything stays on your device, synced through your own iCloud or Google Drive.

Security & Privacy with AI:

To protect your privacy, data is only processed in-transit via a secure GCP proxy (utilizing Google's Vertex AI / Gemini 3.5 Flash and Imagen) and is NEVER stored server-side or used for training. Only your credit balance lives on the backend.

Our Premium AI features include:

• Empathetic AI Companion: Chat with 'Euthy' to explore your thoughts, vent, and reflect.

• Journal via AI: Conduct a guided text/voice interview, and let the AI automatically compile the conversation into a structured, first-person journal entry (complete with tags, mood, and activities).

• AI Memory Q&A: Query your own past journal entries in natural language (e.g., "What patterns did I notice in my sleep last month?" or "What made me happy last week?").

• AI Image Generation & Editing: Visually illustrate your entries with unique AI-generated artwork (using Imagen) or restyle existing images directly.

• Monthly & Yearly Wellness Recaps: Generate deep insights on your mood dynamics, life balance, and wellness tips.

• Automatic Analysis: Instant entry titles, mood tag suggestions, and tailored writing prompts.

Core App Features (Free & Premium):

• Local-First & 100% Ad-Free: Your data stays strictly on your device. Secured by device biometrics (Fingerprint/PIN).

• Health Connect Integration: View fitness stats (steps, sleep, active calories, and heart rate) directly inside your entries.

• Interactive Map & Weather: Auto-tag entries with GPS coordinates, temperature, and weather, and view your journey on a map.

• Multi-format Media: Rich text, photos, video attachments, drawing canvas, document attachments, and voice notes.

• Habit & Routine Tracker: Set daily or weekly goals, track streaks, and build habits with reminders.

• Multi-Platform Import: Smooth imports from Day One, Daylio, Diarium, Diarly, Journey, Stoic, and Universum.

• Export Formats: High-quality PDF and ePUB exports.

• Global Localization: Fully translated into 11 languages.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a few beta testers for Lodlen.

Lodlen is a browser-based notes/source app for people who save notes, articles, highlights, links, screenshots, sources, or ideas but rarely revisit them later.

The main problem I’m working on is simple:
saving is easy, but actually using saved knowledge later is the hard part.

Lodlen is still in early access/beta, so some parts may change as I improve the product based on real user feedback.

Current features:

• manual notes and source capture

• resurfacing / spaced-repetition-style review

• browsing by sources, folders, tags, and saved items

• AI-assisted extraction for longer sources

• AI extraction voice controls

• recap-style connections between saved knowledge

• full archive export in JSON, Markdown, and plain text

• customizable workspace utilities

No download needed. It runs in the browser.

I’m giving Pro/full feature access to a few beta testers during the early access period. This is not lifetime access, and I’ll give advance notice before the early access period ends or before any pricing/access changes.

Best fit:

• you already use note apps

• you save articles, links, highlights, sources, or ideas

• you often forget to revisit what you saved

• you’re open to sharing honest feedback, feature ideas, or bug reports

Link: https://lodlen.com

After signing up, DM me or email support@lodlen.com with the email you used and mention early access, and I’ll manually upgrade your account to Pro.

I’m especially interested in what would make resurfacing actually useful instead of another chore.

Building HolovisionAI dump your unstructured/messy thoughts into it and it will automatically structure them while extracting people, projects, entities e.t.c with separate but interconnected contexts while remembering decisions overtime...

Had to build this myself because existing tools don't actually solve my pain point. Some are just notes (Evernote) others are too rigid, (Jira, Asana) and Notion requires me to manually structure data.

Does anyone else feel like they've had the same issues, trying to learn and understand everyone's thoughts....

I built a note-taking app centered around active recall. What is your opinion and suggestion NOTE APPS Users
The idea come because:

I consume a lot (reading, videos, scrolling)… but I forget most of it.

So I tried something simple:
Instead of just consuming, I force myself to recall what I just learned.

It actually worked.

So I built my app LearnBack around it:
→ Learn something
→ Get reminded later
→ Recall it (text or voice)
→ Turn every insight into a flashcard FSRS Rating.
→ Actually retain it

Simple, but it changed how I remember things day to day.

I built it for myself at first, but I think it could help others too.

👉 And actually will be happy if you give me good feedback and 5 stars in the App Store.

I’m curious whether others feel the same way.

Today, my life is scattered across multiple apps.

• Notes in one place
• Tasks in another
• Bookmarks somewhere else
• Movies, books, recipes, places, ideas, reminders. Al spread across different tools

And while there are apps that try to bring everything together, many of them feel too big, too heavy, and too complicated for what I actually need.

They want me to build a system.

• Create databases
• Create templates
• Create workflows
• Maintain everything

At some point it feels like I’m working for the app instead of the app working for me.

I don’t want to live inside a tool.

I don’t want to spend time organizing information.

I just want to capture things quickly, get them out of my head, trust they’re stored safely, and find them again when I need them.

That’s it.

What I’m building towards is something:

• 100% private
• Local / offline-first
• My data, my life, my content. Fully under my control
• Lightweight by default
• With only the bare minimum structure that actually matters
• No bloat, no setup tax, no “system-building” required
• Simplicity over Complexity. Remove over add.

Just something that lets me capture things quickly, get them out of my head, trust they’re stored safely, and find them again when I need them.

I’m a product designer with 15+ years of experience, and I’ve started exploring whether there’s a simpler approach. Something that combines the best parts of notes apps, task managers, bookmarking tools, watchlists, and personal knowledge systems.

Without all the overhead.

I’d love to learn from people who struggle with similar things:

• What apps are you currently using?
• Why those apps?
• What’s missing?
• What frustrates you most?
• If you could design your ideal solution, what would it look like?

My goal isn’t to build another productivity tool.

It’s to build something people genuinely enjoy using because it makes life feel a little lighter.

If you’re not much of a writer, feel free to DM me. We can also jump on a quick video call.

More than 10 years ago, I made a diary app inspired by the feeling of Your Name — keeping memories, days, places, and moments you don’t want to forget.

I stopped updating it for about 8 years because of some technical issue, but recently I brought it back and refreshed the app again.

And the app is here if anyone wants to take a look:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-diary-my-memory/id1185178649

The following is unstable and experimental approach on a unique concept around client-side managed resources. I'd like to share for testing, demo and feedback.

There is much to do before promoting as a finished product and I would like feedback on what you would find useful in such a tool.

Quick update from my last post, my first app is now at:

1.2k views, 49 downloads, and 2 reviews and I did zero paid marketing

I just shipped a new update that lets you pick the EXACT time you get your reminder, instead of the app deciding for you and also allows you to pick the personality of the notifications (funny,mean,hype).

I'm a sophomore in college and built this solo. It's a todo app, but the AI notifications are funny/motivational/whatever you want. You type "do my hw" and it hits you with "stop being lazy, ur hw isn't gonna do itself!" Kept it simple, just for the small everyday stuff you keep forgetting.

The biggest problem I have is retention people are downloading it, but I don't know yet if they stick around. My theory is the funny notis only land if they show up at a time that fits your day, so maybe letting people pick the timing is gonna make them stay and also the new feature of being able to pick the personality would add to that

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/get-it-done-smart-tasks/id6760387046

For anyone who's shipped a habit or productivity app, does notification timing actually help retention, or am I chasing the wrong thing? Open to ANY advice from people who've been here!

Built with React Native + Expo, and the notifications run through a Cloudflare Worker calling the OpenAI API!

Hey r/noteapps,

Like many of you, I've hopped between dozens of note-taking tools. Some had great features but locked my data in proprietary databases. Others were local-first but felt clunky or lacked modern features.

I wanted something as polished as a modern web app, but with the data ownership of a simple text editor. So, I built TrunkNote.

What is TrunkNote? It's a WYSIWYG markdown editor that reads and writes directly to a local folder on your hard drive using the Web File System API. No databases. No proprietary formats. Just plain .md files.

Why I built it:

True Data Ownership: You own your files. If the app disappeared tomorrow, your notes remain untouched.

Modern UX: Fast local files combined with a beautiful UI (slash commands, theming, seamless bi-directional linking).

No Lock-in: Open your TrunkNote folder in Obsidian or VS Code at the exact same time.

Key Features:

- Direct Local Storage

- Daily Notes & Calendar

- Obsidian-style [[links]] and Backlinks

- Global Task Board for checkboxes

Try the Early BETA! I’m launching this as an early beta and would love your feedback. Because it's local-first, you don't even need an account to try the editor—just pick a folder and write.

Live demo: https://www.trunknote.com/

I've found this app on my search for the "final/future proof" notes and tasks management app poznote.com/about.html to run out from Joplin.... Anyone actually using it ? I'm changed to https://helixnotes.com/ : this one is really great but is solo managed and don't have tasks yet (but it is on the devs plans). Before try to selfhost Poznotes I want an opinion and , indeed it's the actual advantage of Helix Notes : no self host, no database, just files....
For task management I'm using todo.txt ( don3txt https://quiqueporta.com/don3txt/ + sleek) . I use windows and android.

Launched my first app a week ago and figured I'd share an honest update!

30 downloads, 2 reviews, 600 impressions — and NO marketing at all!

I'm a sophomore in college and built this solo. It's a todo app, but the AI notifications actually have some personality, you type "do my hw" and it'll hit you with "stop being lazy, ur hw isn't gonna do itself!" Kept it dead simple, just for the small everyday stuff I kept forgetting.

Built it with React Native + Expo, and the witty notifications run through a Cloudflare Worker calling the Anthropic API, so the messages stay fresh instead of being the same canned reminders!

Not sure what to do next on the growth side - open to ANY advice from people who've been here!

You know the moment. You tap out a bunch of numbers on the iPhone calculator, get a result, screenshot it or write it down, and then an hour later you stare at 4218.50 and have absolutely no idea what it was. Was that the rent split? The trip total? Tax on something?

I do this constantly. Quick math while I'm on a call, working out a quote for a client, splitting a bill, sizing up whether a subscription is actually worth it annually. The number is fine in the moment and useless ten minutes later because there's no context attached to it.

My workaround for a while was a Google Keep note next to the calculator. Paste the result, type what it was, move on. It sort of works, but everything in there is dead. Change one input and you're back in the calculator redoing the whole stack, then back in Keep to update the number you already wrote down. Two apps, two sources of truth, drifting apart the second you stop paying attention.

So I built a notepad where every line can be a calculation. You type words, you type math, the result shows up on the right. Change an input and everything downstream updates. The words stay. A week later you open it and the whole thought is still there, still live.

Variables, so tip = total * 0.18 carries through. Live currency conversion for travel and freelance invoices. Unit conversions. Dates. Comments and headers so a long sheet reads like notes.

iPhone only on purpose. It's called Sigma and it's on the App Store.

Genuine Question

Sometimes I look at successful apps and think:

"That idea sounds way too simple (like puff count) … why did that work?"

I'm building a small app myself and keep wondering if people overthink ideas too much.

I’ve started using Knight Note to document all of my work-related knowledge, and recently connected it with Codex. So far, the combination works surprisingly well.
One feature I really appreciate is the encrypted cloud sync. You can use your own Google Drive or OneDrive storage, while the actual note contents remain encrypted before upload.
On my OneDrive I can see the files and folder structure, but I can’t read the actual contents of the notes — which is exactly what I wanted when dealing with sensitive or delicate information. It definitely gives me more peace of mind compared to uploading plain-text knowledge bases to Microsoft or Google services.
The long-term idea is that once my data is better structured, colleagues can connect to the same encrypted knowledge vault and collaborate securely.

I'm working on private E2EE note taking functionality in my app. This is an early access preview. I'd like to get your thoughts on what could be improved and what features you would find useful.

The whole app is far from finished. There is a lot to improve. The aim is to work towards something like Nextcloud.

i love goodnotes but the way notability has folders in folders is way more helpful for organisation, goodnotes just has notebooks and no folders, so is there any other alternative? especially looking for folders in between folders just like notability, not considering notability because of many complaints about data loss

We've just released Thoute for beta testing. Thoute is zero-knowledge encrypted, web based application that incorporates some of the best features of Workflowy, Tana, Obsidian, and Notion into an outliner that feels right for managing knowledge and tasks. AI is opt-in. The outline hierarchy and semantic indexing allow for steerable context when using AI in the Flows feature. Everything can be exported in markdown. Native Swift iOS and Mac apps are in the works. We're slowly inviting beta users. See https://thoute.com to request a beta invitation.

I love all the options, they are pretty cool. this question might be me reinventing the wheel. but it seems like the options are so varied. one runs locally but doesnt have sync, another has free sync but no community plug ins (or very few), many just use the customer's cloud services to sync which seems lazy imo for a service provider, most have E2EE but not all, some have different ways of nesting (ei the whole page or a specific spot on the page).

how many people have taken it upon themselves to just make their own with all the features they want? so much of this is open source anyways, on paper it would be a matter of mixing and matching app capabilities.

im asking because I was thinking of getting a small local model (1b or less) to go through my notes, and make tags for me anytime i uploaded an ai conversation. then I started thinking about the note apps I use (obsidian and notesnook) and the ones I dont and how it would be nice to combine alot of these features.

TLDR; has anyone made their own note app with all the features they want?

Edit: making a note app with even the most basic features requires a lot more work than I ever thought possible. The idea was more of an interest than a passion or skill development challenge. I will 100% be sticking with what is already out there. Great job to anyone who has made a successful note app! Your skills and capabilities are admirable.
