Driftnote is the note app for people who capture fast but lose track of what they saved. Jot it, say it, snap it — then just ask, and find it instantly with a cited answer. 100% on your device.
Free to download · iPhone & iPad · iOS 18+You capture fast — then can’t find it.
The thought is in there somewhere. A note, a voice memo, a photo of a whiteboard. But searching for the right word turns up nothing, and you stop trusting the pile. Capture was never the problem. Getting it back is.
Capture anything. Ask for it back.
Capture in a tap
A thought, a link, a voice note, a photo of a whiteboard. From anywhere — a widget, the share sheet, the app. No folders, no setup. It’s safe the second you have it.
Just ask
“What did the dentist say?” “That book someone recommended?” Driftnote answers in plain language — and shows the exact captures it pulled from.
Find by meaning
Not just keyword matching. Driftnote understands what you meant, so you find the thought even when you don’t remember the words you used.
100% on your device
The AI runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Your notes never leave your phone. No accounts, no tracking, no cloud inbox.

How is this different from Apple Notes?
Apple Notes is great at capturing. Driftnote is built for the other half — getting it back. Ask in plain language ("what did the dentist say?") and Driftnote returns a short answer with the exact notes it came from, found by meaning, not just keywords. All on your device.
Does anything leave my phone?
No. Capture, search, and the AI answers all run on your device. There are no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs — the App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. Your notes sync across your own devices through your private iCloud; nothing is ever sent to us.
Do I need a specific iPhone for the AI answers?
The cited AI answers use Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later, on iOS 26). On other devices Driftnote still finds your notes instantly with fast keyword and fuzzy search — the app works everywhere on iOS 18 and up.
What can I capture?
Anything, in one tap — text, a voice note, a drawing, a link, a document, a photo, a place. No folders, no titles, no deciding where it goes. Driftnote sorts it out so you can find it later.
How much does it cost?
Free to use: unlimited capture, keyword search, and a taste of AI recall every month. Driftnote Plus unlocks unlimited ask-your-notes and recall across your whole history — monthly, annual (with a free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase.
