A short tour of notebooks, on-device AI, PDF annotation and dictation — running entirely on the device, with no account and no cloud.

Recorded on a real device. No account, no cloud, no ads.

16 models, zero cloud dependency

Choose from Liquid AI, Google Gemma, Mistral, OpenAI, NVIDIA and specialist coding families — 1.6B to 33B parameters. Every model runs locally via llama.cpp.

Summarize & Translate

Select any note and get an AI summary, translation to Spanish (and more), grammar polish, or action item extraction — in seconds, completely offline.

AI Chat with Files

Attach PDFs, images, and documents to AI conversations. Ask questions about your files. The AI reads them locally — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Vision OCR

Point the AI at handwritten notes, screenshots, or scanned documents. Get accurate text extraction using vision-capable models like Gemma 4 E4B.

Smart Hardware Detection

The benchmark system tests your device and recommends the best model for your hardware — from a phone with 8 GB RAM to a workstation with a 16 GB GPU.

AI models run entirely on your device and produce results based on statistical patterns. Output quality varies by model and task. Always review AI-generated content before relying on it.

Dictate into a note, or have it read back to you

Both directions run entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and both work with no network connection at all.

🎤 Dictation

Speak into any note using local Whisper speech recognition, with punctuation and paragraph breaks added automatically. Audio notes can be transcribed the same way.

🔊 Read Aloud

Have a note, a page, a whole notebook, or just the text you have selected read back to you — using the bundled Piper voices on Windows and Linux, and your device’s own voice on Android.

🎵 Natural pacing

Read Aloud pauses at the end of a paragraph, heading, list item or table row, not only at a full stop. Numbered lists are read with their numbers and checklist items are announced as done or not done, so a list sounds like a list. One slider in Voice & Speech sets the pace.

14 professional annotation tools

ISO 32000-compliant annotations that round-trip with Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam, and Foxit Reader.

✏️ Pen & Highlighter

Freehand ink with configurable color, opacity, and stroke width. Highlighter blends with underlying text.

📝 Sticky Notes

Add comments anywhere on the page. Visible in any PDF reader that supports annotations.

🔷 Shapes

Rectangle, circle, line, arrow, polygon, and polyline shapes for markup and callouts.

〰️ Text Markup

Underline and strikethrough selected PDF text. Exported as standard annotations, visible in Adobe Acrobat and other readers.
