Nemosine
Download

A private workspace that runs on your device.

Nemosine keeps your notes in a database on your device, so nothing waits on a network round trip and everything works in airplane mode. Sync is encrypted before it is uploaded, with a key we never receive.

On the web now, and on iPhone through public TestFlight. Android, Windows and Linux are in development.

Most notes apps keep your notes on someone else's server.

They need a connection to open, they sync through a service that can read what you wrote, and the privacy policy can change after you have moved in. Nemosine works the other way around: the notes are on your device, and the encryption happens before anything is uploaded.

Capture

Open the app and start typing.

Nemosine opens on a cursor in a new note. You do not have to pick a folder first or choose a template, and you can file it later or not at all.

What a note can holdRead more
Folders
Notes go in folders, and folders nest as deep as you want. Move a note into one later, or leave it where it landed.
A formatting editor
Headings, lists, quotes, tables, and code blocks that keep the language they are highlighted in.
Voice notes
Record audio and transcribe it. On iPhone and Mac the transcription runs on the device, so the audio never reaches a cloud service.
Images, files and handwriting
Attach files, write with a pen or stylus, and pull text out of an image on-device on iPhone and Mac.
Tasks where you wrote them
Any checkbox in a note becomes a task, and every task from every folder collects into one list.
Reminders without a form
Nemosine reads dates and times out of what you typed and offers a reminder, so you do not have to fill anything in.

Privacy

The encryption happens on your device, not on our server.

Nemosine cannot read your synced notes. Content is encrypted before upload, using a key derived from a sync password we never receive.

How the privacy worksRead more
Local before network
The app reads and writes a database on your device. The network is optional, not a dependency.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Note content and attachments are encrypted on your device before upload. The server holds encrypted rows and the sync metadata needed to route them.
Airplane mode is a normal mode
Full reading and writing with no connection. Changes reconcile the next time you are online.
Sensitive folders
Mark a folder sensitive and every folder nested inside it inherits the setting. Sensitive notes are kept out of search, recall and AI context.
On-device AI, free
Local models run on your own hardware on iPhone and Mac. No account, no subscription, and no request leaves the device.
Export without asking
Markdown export at any time, plus PDF export, watermark-free on Pro.

Retrieval

Finding an old note is the part that has to work.

Nemosine indexes everything you write and gives you several routes back: full-text search, links between notes, a graph, and recall for the ones you have stopped opening.

Routes back into your notesRead more
Search
Full-text search across everything you have written, with a dedicated search overlay on desktop.
Links
Link one note to another so related writing stays connected instead of scattering across folders.
Graph
A map of which notes link to which, so you can see which subjects have actually grown.
Recall
Nemosine resurfaces notes that have gone quiet, picked from how you actually read and edit.
Recaps
A generated summary of a day or a month, so you can see what the time contained.
Calendar
Notes with dates appear in month and week views next to the rest of your schedule.

Decisions

Turn a month of notes into one decision.

Select the notes that belong together and crystallize them into an Insight. The source notes move inside it, so there is one current version and no copies to keep in sync.

How crystallizing worksRead more
The twin editor
Sources in one pane, the insight you are writing in the other. Drag quotes straight across.
Absorption, not duplication
Source notes are moved into the insight instead of copied, so there is never a second version going stale.
The Shelf
Finished insights leave the folder and sit at the top level, where the conclusions are easy to find.
Still a normal note
An insight is an ordinary note. Open it, edit it, or break it back apart.

Everything above this line is free, and stays free.

Nemosine Pro

Pro adds an AI that reads the workspace.

Luna answers questions across the notes you give it access to, and cites the ones it used. You choose what goes into each request, and sensitive folders never do.

Grounded in your own notes
Luna reads the Nemosine sources you select and keeps the references, so you can check the answer against the note.
You approve every write
Luna can draft a new note. It cannot save one without you.
10,000 credits a month
Credits cover Luna's cloud requests. Local AI and ordinary note-taking never spend one.
Sync that keeps up
1 GB for notes and app data, plus 5 GB for files and attachments, encrypted across every device you use.
Your calendar, connected
Connect a Google Calendar read-only and see it next to your own dated notes.
Watermark-free PDF
Export a PDF with no Nemosine mark on the page.
