# Némos — Complete Product Reference

> Save anything. Find it instantly.

Némos is a personal knowledge library app for Apple devices and web browsers. It replaces the scattered mess of screenshots in your camera roll, bookmarks you never revisit, voice memos you can't search, and notes spread across five different apps — with one unified, private, automatically organized library.

## Product Overview

**What Némos does**: Némos saves any type of content — screenshots, links, notes, voice memos, PDFs, videos, places, books, and more — then automatically names each item, files it into the right folder, extracts searchable text, and makes everything findable with a single search.

**Who it's for**: Anyone who saves things digitally and struggles to find them later. Students, researchers, developers, designers, writers, and anyone who wants a single place for everything they want to remember.

**What makes it different**: Unlike Notion (complex), Apple Notes (limited), or Pocket (bookmarks only), Némos handles 15+ content types with zero manual organization. Everything is processed on-device for complete privacy.

## Feature Deep-Dive

### 1. Auto-Save and Auto-Organize
When you save a screenshot, Némos uses on-device AI to:
- Read and understand the content (OCR + vision)
- Generate a descriptive name (e.g., "Flight confirmation — Tokyo, March 2026")
- Select the appropriate folder automatically
- Extract all text for full-text search
No manual tagging, no sorting, no effort required.

### 2. Universal Search
Type a keyword and find anything you've ever saved. Némos searches across:
- Item names and descriptions
- Extracted text from screenshots and PDFs (OCR)
- Transcribed text from voice memos
- Link titles and content
- Note content

### 3. Voice Transcription
Record a voice memo and Némos automatically transcribes it into searchable text. Works on iPhone and Apple Watch. Transcription happens on-device — no audio is sent to any server.

### 4. Smart Spaces
AI-generated topic views that automatically curate your saved content into browsable collections. Examples:
- "Recipes" — groups all saved recipe screenshots, links, and notes
- "Travel Ideas" — collects destinations, flight screenshots, hotel bookmarks
- "Work Projects" — organizes work-related documents, links, and notes
Smart Spaces update automatically as you save new content.

### 5. Shared Folders
Share any folder with anyone via a simple link. The recipient taps the link and the folder appears in their Némos — no account creation needed, just an Apple ID. Everything stays in sync via iCloud. Use cases:
- Trip planning with friends
- Shared recipe collections
- Collaborative research
- Family photo albums

### 6. Daily Routines
Build daily habit trackers with:
- Custom routine items (e.g., "Meditate", "Read 20 pages", "Exercise")
- Streak tracking with visual progress
- Apple Watch companion — check off items from your wrist
- Day-completed celebrations

### 7. Native Apple Integration
Two-way sync with the Apple ecosystem:
- **Apple Reminders**: Reminders created in Némos appear in Apple Reminders and vice versa
- **Apple Calendar**: Events sync bidirectionally
- **Apple Notes**: Import and reference Apple Notes content
- **iCloud**: All data syncs across devices via CloudKit

### 8. Browser Extension
Available for Chrome and Safari. Save links, articles, and web content from any computer. Saved items automatically appear on your iPhone and iPad. The extension does not track browsing activity — it only activates when you explicitly save something.

### 9. Content Types (15+)

## Privacy Architecture

Némos is built on a **privacy-first, on-device architecture**:

- **On-device AI**: All content analysis, naming, and organization uses Apple's Foundation Models API (iOS 26+). No data is sent to external AI services.
- **No cloud processing**: Text extraction, transcription, and smart organization all happen locally on your device.
- **iCloud sync only**: Data syncs between your own devices via Apple's iCloud/CloudKit. Némos servers never see your content.
- **No tracking**: The app does not collect analytics on your saved content. The website uses Vercel Web Analytics (cookie-free, privacy-focused).
- **No data selling**: Your data is never sold, shared, or used for advertising.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Does Némos process my data in the cloud?**
A: No. Némos processes everything on your device using Apple's on-device AI. Your data never leaves your device — we never see, sell, or share what you save.

**Q: What can I save in Némos?**
A: Pretty much anything — screenshots, links, notes, voice memos, videos, PDFs, places, books, spreadsheets, documents, presentations, audio files, and more. Némos names and organizes everything for you, so you can find it later with a simple search.

**Q: Can I share folders with other people?**
A: Yes! Just send a link. The other person taps it and the folder shows up in their Némos — no sign-up needed, just an Apple ID. Everything stays in sync automatically via iCloud.

**Q: Does Némos work on Apple Watch?**
A: Yes! Check your reminders, track daily routines, and record voice memos right from your wrist. When your Watch connects to your iPhone, recordings get transcribed automatically.

**Q: How does Némos organize my screenshots?**
A: Save a screenshot and Némos reads it, gives it a proper name, puts it in the right folder, and pulls out any text — all on its own. No tagging, no sorting, no effort.

**Q: Can I use Némos on my computer?**
A: Yes! The Némos browser extension works in Chrome and Safari on any computer. Save links, articles, and anything from the web — it all shows up on your phone and iPad automatically.

**Q: How is Némos different from Apple Notes?**
A: Apple Notes is great for writing, but Némos is built for saving and finding. Némos auto-organizes your content, extracts text from screenshots (OCR), transcribes voice memos, creates Smart Spaces, and supports shared folders — features Apple Notes doesn't have.

**Q: How is Némos different from Notion?**
A: Notion is powerful but complex — it requires setting up databases, templates, and workflows. Némos is the opposite: save anything with zero setup. It auto-names, auto-organizes, and auto-extracts text. No configuration needed.

**Q: How is Némos different from Pocket or Raindrop?**
A: Pocket and Raindrop are bookmark managers — they save links. Némos saves everything: screenshots, voice memos, PDFs, places, videos, notes, and more. Plus, Némos auto-organizes everything with on-device AI.

**Q: Is Némos available on Android?**
A: Currently, Némos is designed for the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) and web browsers (Chrome, Safari extension). Android support is not planned at this time.

**Q: How much does Némos cost?**
A: Némos is free. Join the waitlist at https://nemosapp.com for early access.

**Q: Where is my data stored?**
A: Your data is stored locally on your device and synced across your Apple devices using iCloud (CloudKit). Némos does not have its own servers for storing your content.
