What it is
Notabe is an iOS voice-first notes app for capturing spoken or typed thoughts and finding them by meaning. Apple’s on-device speech recognition transcribes voice notes on iPhone or iPad, and audio is not uploaded. The app automatically suggests titles and tags, which users can edit or ignore. Notes can be captured by speaking, typing, or sharing text from another app. No sign-up is required, and notes sync between Apple devices through iCloud and CloudKit. The Free plan costs nothing and includes five AI summaries each month; Pro costs $9.99 a month. Pro adds semantic search, unlimited summaries, a graph of connected notes, collection suggestions, similar notes, tag normalization, asking questions about notes, and daily resurfacing. AI processing can be disabled in Settings, and the maker says notes are not sold or used for model training.
