Note Filer
Runs on your device. No account, no cloud.

Drop it anywhere. It files itself.

Note Filer reads what you wrote, puts it in the right folder, and tells you why it chose it. Your folder tree builds itself while you just keep writing.

The problem with notes apps

You don't have a notes problem. You have a filing problem.

The writing part was never hard. It's the twelve untitled notes, the folder you meant to make, the thing you know you wrote down somewhere. Notes apps hand you an empty filing cabinet and call it freedom.

Folders you never make

Organising is a separate chore from writing, so it never happens. Everything lands in one endless list.

Search you can't spell

Search only works if you remember the words. You remember the situation, not the sentence.

Reminders that stay buried

The date you wrote in the middle of a note is not a reminder. It's just text nobody will read again.

How it works

Three steps, two of which
you don't do

No setup wizard, no tagging system to design, no rules to write. Install it, write something, and watch the tree appear underneath you.

1
You
Write it down

Type, dictate, paste a link, snap a whiteboard. ⌥⌘N opens a capture window over anything you're doing.

Quick capture ⌥⌘N
2
The app
It reads and files

The model on your device works out what the note is, picks a folder — or creates one — and records why.

Filed in Travel — it's a packing list.
3
You, later
Overrule it, or don't

Disagree? Move it once. It remembers the correction and files the next one your way.

Features

Everything the filing cabinet should have done for you

Automatic filing

A folder tree that builds itself

Notes go to the right place the moment you stop typing. When a new theme appears often enough, Note Filer makes the folder for it — named the way you'd have named it.

Every placement carries a plain-English reason
New folders are proposed, never forced
One correction retrains the next hundred notes

A cooking method with an ingredient list.

When there's nothing pending, this card isn't there at all. No "You're all caught up!" — silence is the reward.

Follow-ups

The buried date, surfaced

"Dentist on the 11th" written in the middle of a paragraph is a reminder that never fires. Note Filer finds dates, open checklist items and unanswered questions across every note, and puts them where you'll see them.

Dates read from ordinary sentences
Checklists that stall get raised, not nagged
Two at a time, never a wall of tasks
Tidy folders

It weeds the garden while you're out

Trees go bad slowly: two folders that mean the same thing, one folder holding a single note, a name that stopped making sense. Note Filer proposes the merge and shows you exactly what moves — before anything moves.

Snap anything

Whiteboards, receipts, book pages. The text is read on device and filed like any other note.

Save links with substance

Share a page from Safari and get the gist saved with it — not just a naked URL.

Checklists that notice

Write a list and it becomes tickable. Progress shows on the card, not just inside the note.

Related notes, found

Open a note and see the three others about the same thing — without having linked them.

Ask, don't spell

"That restaurant in Lisbon" finds it, even though you never wrote the word restaurant.

Mac and iPhone, in step

Your own iCloud, end to end. Capture on the phone, find it filed on the Mac.

The AI never leaves your device

Note Filer runs on Apple's on-device foundation models. Your notes are read by your own phone or Mac, and the reasoning happens there. There is no server to send them to, because we didn't build one.

FAQ

Reasonable questions

Something else on your mind? Email us — a person answers.

What if it files something wrong?

Move it. That's the whole correction — no settings, no retraining screen. The next note like it goes where you put this one, and the banner will say so.

Can I make my own folders?

Yes, and they're marked as yours. The app will file into folders you made, but it won't rename or merge them without asking.

Does it work without internet?

Completely. The model is on your device, so filing, follow-ups and search all work in airplane mode. Only iCloud sync waits for a connection.

Which devices are supported?

macOS 26 on Apple silicon, and iOS 26 on iPhone 15 Pro or newer — the devices with Apple Intelligence. iPad is coming.

Can I bring my old notes?

Import from Apple Notes, Evernote or a folder of Markdown files. Everything gets filed on the way in, so you arrive organised.

What happens if I stop paying?

You drop back to the free tier and keep every note and folder — nothing is locked or deleted, you just lose the Pro features. And if you leave entirely, export takes everything to Markdown with the structure intact.

Stop filing. Start writing.

Free on the Mac App Store and the App Store. No account to make, nothing to configure.
