Nota: AI-Powered Notes App for Voice, Scan, Sketch, and Text Capture on Apple Devices
By
Michel Valenzuela
Pulled from the oven a few minutes early. Edible, just barely.
Summary
Nota is a new AI-powered notes app that allows users to capture ideas via voice, typing, sketching, or scanning across Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch). It transcribes voice in 45 languages, supports multiple AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok), and offers local-first, private note-taking. Unlike traditional notes apps or AI chatbots, Nota integrates AI refinement directly within the note-taking experience, starting with the user's own words rather than being chatbot-driven.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledI've lost more good ideas in the shower, on walks, and halfway out of meetings than I'll ever admit.
One breath: speak it, type it, sketch it, or scan it...then let AI shape it.
Record a brain dump, even from your Apple Watch mid-run — and get it transcribed in 45 languages.
Not a chatbot — it starts with your words.
Fast, local-first, private.
