AI Recall

Your best ideas aren't isolated. Your notes shouldn't be either.

Apptly reads across everything you've written and surfaces connections you didn't make manually. Open a note on pricing strategy and see three related notes from six months ago automatically, without tagging.

Quick capture

The thought you have mid-run shouldn't disappear by the time you're back at your desk.

One tap opens a full-screen note. Voice memo, text, or a photo — Apptly takes whatever form the idea arrives in and puts it somewhere you'll actually find it.

I've tried everything — Notion, Obsidian, Bear, plain text files. Apptly is the first one I've stuck with past week two. It just works the way my brain does.

Independent researcher

My whole research workflow lives in here now. The linking is fast, search is instant, and it doesn't make me feel like I need a PhD to set it up.

    Voice capture on the commute. AI cleans it up. I arrive at work with my ideas already written.

    "My whole research process lives in here. Quick capture during interviews, AI summaries when I'm writing up, and the linked notes feature basically replaced my affinity mapping process.

    Switched from Obsidian. The setup time alone was worth it.

Is the free plan actually useful?

Unlimited notes, full-text search, cross-device sync, and all three apps. The free plan is how most people use Apptly for a long time before upgrading. Pro is for when AI features become part of your daily process.

How does the AI work — is it sending my notes somewhere?

No. Apptly's AI runs entirely on-device. Your notes never leave your phone or laptop to power the AI features. Summaries, connections, and the daily digest are all generated locally.

What happens to my notes if I cancel Pro?

Nothing gets deleted. You drop to free plan limits — AI features pause, storage reverts to 2GB — but every note stays exactly where it is. Export everything anytime.

Does it work offline?

Fully. Write without a connection and Apptly syncs automatically when you're back online. The AI features work offline too, since they run on-device.

How is this different from Notion or Apple Notes?

Notion is a team workspace. Apple Notes is a scratchpad. Apptly is a thinking tool — built for the space between quick capture and long-form writing, with AI that connects what you've written without you having to organise it first.

Can I import my notes from another app?

Yes. Apptly imports from Markdown files, plain text, and most major note apps via their export format. Takes about two minutes.
