Némos — Personal Knowledge Library App
Némos is a free personal knowledge library app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and web browsers. Save screenshots, links, notes, voice memos, PDFs, videos, places, books, and 15+ content types. Némos automatically names, organizes, and makes everything searchable using on-device AI. Your data never leaves your device.
Key Features
- Auto-save and auto-organize: Save a screenshot and Némos reads it, names it, files it, and extracts text — no manual tagging needed.
- Universal search: Find anything you saved with a keyword search across all content types, including OCR text from screenshots and transcribed voice memos.
- Voice transcription: Record voice memos that get automatically transcribed into searchable text, entirely on-device.
- Smart Spaces: AI-generated topic views (e.g., "Recipes", "Travel Ideas") that curate your saved content into browsable collections.
- Shared folders: Share any folder via link — no sign-up needed, syncs with iCloud for real-time collaboration.
- Daily routines: Build habit trackers with streaks, tracked from iPhone or Apple Watch.
- Native Apple sync: Two-way sync with Apple Reminders, Calendar, and Notes.
- Browser extension: Save links and articles from Chrome or Safari on any computer — syncs to your phone automatically.
- Apple Watch app: Check reminders, track routines, and record voice memos from your wrist.

- Offline-first: Everything works without internet, syncs when connected via iCloud.
