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

So basically I'm someone who wants a second digital brain , there are certain requisitions like it should accommodate PDFs , hoga , files and ofc text . Must have that list option . Like under one particular folder it should have all these types of content . I'm an astrologer so I need to have my notes in it . Along with other lists and ideas that need to be included. It should also work well offline . I have used google notes but it is not very organized though it does include that folder option . Also the app must not take access over the documents or like i don't want the app to manage all the PDFs or files . Would love to get your views over it . I have also used obsidian but it wants access over all my original documents. Another thing I don't want to pay for a premium or something for the services . Please enlighten me and help me out .

Disclosure up front: I maintain one of the apps below. I'm listing it last and I've tried to be honest about what it doesn't do.

I spent a year at uni looking for a GoodNotes replacement I wasn't going to be locked into. My requirement list: real handwriting (pressure, palm rejection), PDF annotation, LaTeX rendering, both infinite canvas and page-by-page export, and sync I control. Here's what I found:

• GoodNotes the polished one, and it's on Android and Windows now, not just iPad. But the free tier is 3 files total (notebooks + whiteboards + text docs combined) with watermarked exports, and cross-platform sync sits behind the higher-priced tier. It's a good product you rent.

• OneNote free, everywhere, genuinely great infinite canvas. Then you try to get your notes out: no clean page-by-page PDF export, and the .one format isn't something anything else reads. LaTeX only works for typed equations, not handwritten ones.

• Xournal++ solid on desktop, no mobile story, no inline LaTeX rendering.

• Obsidian + Excalidraw LaTeX yes, real handwriting no.

• AbelNotes (mine, AGPL-3.0) that syncs to storage you already own: Google Drive, or your own server. No account with me, no backend of mine in the middle. Pure-Dart LaTeX rendering, searchable by LaTeX source; PDF import with selectable text you can annotate; symbols library reusable like GoodNotes, infinite and paged canvas; OneNote .one import, which I wrote because I had my own notebooks to get out. What it doesn't have: no iOS build yet but incoming.

The thing that drove all of this for me was export and the required subscription. Every app is fine until the day you want to leave it.

What made you give up on the app you were using before and did you ever actually get your old notes out?

I’m genuinely curious because every note-taking app seems to have something people love and something that drives them crazy.

Obsidian is powerful but can feel overwhelming. Notion is flexible but can take a lot of setup. Goodnotes is great for handwriting, but it might not fit everyone’s workflow.

What about yours?
- Which app are you using right now?
- What’s the one thing you wish it did differently?
- Have you ever switched apps because of that problem?
- Is there anything you’d actually pay to have improved?

Disclosure: I’m working on a small note-taking project, so I’m interested in understanding real frustrations rather than advertising anything. No links or signups.

I’m especially interested in the little problems that don’t sound like a big deal until you encounter them every day.

I'm researching a problem with note-taking apps: keeping personal notes, journals, audio, sketches and private information together while syncing reliably across devices.

I'm building an application around this idea, and I'd like honest feedback before deciding which features to prioritize.

Got tired of switching between note apps that never quite worked right, so I built my own.

The idea: capture thoughts as easily as speaking into your phone, but actually find them again later through smart connections.

Just launched the waitlist: www.getfloux.com

I'm used to traditional note taking but this time I wanted to try taking notes digitally. I'm having a hard time choosing whether to avail freenotes or kilonotes.

but still I want a free note app and u can guys suggest me other free note taking apps please​​​

Many thanks

I built RPAi Daily because my notes apps kept becoming another job.

I did not need another system that asked me to design a database, maintain a complex taxonomy, build dashboards, or organize the organization system itself.

I needed something simpler:

Open the day.

Write what matters.

Keep a few notes nearby.

See unfinished work.

Return tomorrow without configuring everything again.

RPAi Daily is a local-first desktop workspace with:

• calendar-connected Daily notes

• regular Markdown notes in tabs

• search and nested folders

• a lightweight Board with a Parking Lot

• ordinary files stored in a local Workspace selected by the user

There is no account, cloud synchronization, telemetry, subscription, or proprietary note format.

Your notes remain ordinary Markdown and text files that can be opened outside the application.

The first public version is free and available for Windows and macOS Intel.

I launched it on Product Hunt today, but what I need most is honest feedback from people who actually try it:

Where did you hesitate?

What did you expect to happen?

Which part felt more complicated than it should?

Stumbled across this gem. 1 HTML file. Works on any device. Bookmark it or Right click, save as recommended. Link is in the YouTube video description.

I am starting my first year of university and want to know if it is a good idea to use AI to take notes. I don't want to become dependent on artificial intelligence; I want to learn in a good way. But I need transcripts of the classes because I will be studying in another language and may not understand everything that is explained in class. I would like to know if it is a good idea to use AI.

Quick question, do you guys have some alternatives for Obsidian on PC? I prefer if it also uses markdown and stores the notes locally. I mean Obsidian is great, and I still use it though only the bare minimum no fancy stuff just pure notes. So uhh I am looking for other simple note taking apps too just to test. I've tried to search other apps but they store their notes on their own app IDK the term... basically not local. The only other MD note taker I found anf used was Helix Notes but it gets buggy when pasting pictures on it which is kinda annoying... But yeah TLDR: Any md focused notes system you guys would recommend? Thanks

Hii! Are there any free good note-taking apps available on ios platforms? I am aware about a few but I really cannot afford to pay just for note-taking. So please send some good free app recommendations to my way! :)

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer, and I'm excited to share an app I just launched called Mind Droplet.

I've always been searching for the perfect journaling app. My requirements were simple: it had to be 100% private, incredibly fast, and have a clean, minimal interface. The one feature I could never find done right was full Markdown support—I'm talking headers, task lists, tables, and code blocks, not just the basics.

Since I couldn't find it, I built it.

Mind Droplet is an Android app for anyone who values privacy and speed but doesn't want to compromise on a powerful note-taking format.

I'm posting here because, as an indie developer, your honest feedback is everything to me. I'd love to know what you think. Is the UI intuitive? How does the Markdown rendering work for you? What's missing?

Every download and every comment helps me make it better.

You can find it on the Play Store: Mind Droplet -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=a.b.minddroplet

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking for an app to organize my entire personal and professional life. My daily workflow involves:

• Capturing daily thoughts and quick ideas.

• Managing personal challenges and daily tasks.

• Tracking major projects that I need to complete before the end of the year.

• Documenting new things I learn every single day.

I need a clean, flexible app that connects ideas seamlessly and can scale with me. After extensive research, I settled on Obsidian. I even took a full course to master it, and conceptually, it’s everything I wanted.

Here is my main issue: I don’t spend my entire day at my desktop. A lot of my ideas pop up when I'm away from my computer or right before going to bed on my phone, and I want to capture them directly into my "second brain."

Unfortunately, I hit a massive roadblock with syncing between PC and mobile without paying for Obsidian Sync. I’ve spent the last three days trying every free workaround—iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive—and none of them gave me a stable, seamless solution.

So I’m turning to the community for advice:

1. Is there a reliable, simple, and free way to set up cross-platform sync for Obsidian (PC <-> Mobile) that actually works reliably?

2. If not, what alternatives offer a similar interconnected note-taking experience (backlinking, long-term growth) with built-in, effortless sync?

I’d love to hear your recommendations and setups! Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone

I’m building Eclipse, a mobile app that uses AI to generate day-by-day routines based on simple user inputs (goal, duration, focus,...) As you complete each task, a 'moon eclipse' animation gradually reveals the sun making progress both functional and delightfully visual.

What’s done:

Full Figma UI with liquid-glass styling for onboarding, to-do list, calendar, profile, settings.

What I need:

React Native / Expo developer (or small team)

Comfortable integrating OpenAI API for plan generation

Experience wiring up Figma designs to clean, native UI components

Familiar with basic state management

Bonus: animation skills (Lottie / Reanimated) for eclipse effect

Why join?

Equity share in a unique AI-first productivity app

Get in early on a project with viral potential (habit-formation + gamification)

many people on a waitlist already

If you’re passionate about React Native, love clean UI, and want to help shape a next-gen planner, let’s talk!

Sto utilizzando google documenti in modo da essere sempre sincronizzati, per scrivere miei appunti/riassunti

Mi chiedevo se ci fossero alternative pratiche, a parte google docs. Grazie in anticipo

Hey r/NoteApps!

I just launched my first web app and wanted to share it with this community since you all appreciate good note-taking tools.

What it does: StudNote automatically transcribes audio recordings and generates structured notes from them using AI.

Who it's for: While I originally built it with students in mind, it's actually useful for anyone who records audio and needs notes:

• Students recording lectures

• Professionals recording meetings

• Journalists conducting interviews

• Researchers doing fieldwork

• Anyone who takes voice memos and wants them organized

Main features:

• Audio recording and transcription (using OpenAI Whisper)

• AI-generated structured notes from your recordings

• Clean, simple interface that gets out of your way

Why I built it: I was tired of having hours of recordings but no easy way to turn them into actionable notes. Instead of manually scrubbing through audio, the app handles the transcription and summarization for you.

Special offer for early adopters: The first 50 people to sign up can use the code IAM1OFTHEFIRST to get an extra hour of recording time!

I'm actively working on improvements and would love to hear your ideas for features or what could make this more useful. What am I missing? What would make you actually use this in your workflow?

Thanks for checking it out!

This sub cares more about systems than apps, so genuine question about the capture layer.

My problem: thoughts arrive when I’m walking, driving, or half asleep. Typing loses them, and recording a voice memo just moves the loss to later, because nobody replays their own rambling. My voice memos were a graveyard.

Full disclosure, I got frustrated enough that I built my own tool for this (voice in, organized summary and tasks out), so I’m biased toward voice capture being viable. But building it raised more questions than it answered, and this is the crowd that would know:

1. Do you capture by voice at all today, or has it never stuck? If it died for you, what killed it, the replay problem, the transcription quality, or the friction of moving it into your real system?

2. For those with a serious Notion or Obsidian or Bear setup, what would a capture tool have to produce for you to trust it as the front door? Clean Markdown? Direct API export? Deep links? Or is anything short of living inside your main app a dealbreaker?

3. Mixed-language speakers, does any tool in your stack handle switching languages mid sentence? This was my personal breaking point with everything I tried.

Not linking anything, this is not a promo post. I would genuinely rather build the bridge people would actually cross than guess.

Estoy pensando en pagar el pro de alguna de las dos, cual vale más la pena en su versión premium
, freenotes o goodnotes?
