Sound familiar?

If you've felt any of these frustrations, you're not alone. Note takers, students, creators, and anyone who wants to stop losing ideas deal with this every day.

1

Your memos are scattered across Apple Notes, Google Keep, voice recordings, screenshots, and sticky notes — and you can't remember which app you used for that one thing.

2

Finding an old memo means scrolling through hundreds of entries because there's no real search, and the filing system is whatever you could be bothered to set up that day.

3

Voice memos pile up in your Voice Memos app with names like "New Recording 147" — you'd listen back if you could actually find them.

4

You screenshot a receipt, a recipe, or a meeting whiteboard, and it vanishes into a camera roll with 12,000 other photos. Good luck finding it next week.

Here's how Nemos helps

Nemos was built to solve exactly these problems — automatically.

✓

One memo app for everything — text notes, voice memos, screenshots, links, PDFs, and 15+ content types. One library, one search box, zero app-switching.

✓

Every memo is automatically named and tagged by on-device AI. No more "Untitled Note 47" or "New Recording 312". Search by topic, keyword, or even what's *inside* a screenshot.

✓

Voice memos are transcribed automatically so you can search every word you've ever said. All transcription runs on-device — nothing touches the cloud.

✓

Screenshots get OCR'd and auto-categorized. Receipts, recipes, whiteboards, boarding passes — search for any word that appeared on the image and it's there.

Features that matter for note takers

Text Memos

Jot down a thought, a to-do, a quote, an idea. Rich-text formatting, tags, and AI-generated titles so you never stare at "Untitled" again.

Voice Memos with Transcription

Tap record from the lock screen or Apple Watch. Némos transcribes the full audio on-device and makes every word searchable. Your best voice memo app, private by default.

Screenshot Memos (OCR)

Screenshot a recipe, receipt, boarding pass, or whiteboard. Némos reads the text inside and files it. Stop hunting through Photos.

Link Memos

Save any URL from Safari, Chrome, Twitter, or Reddit in one tap. Némos extracts the title, summary, and preview image so you remember why you saved it.

Smart Spaces (Auto-Folders)

Smart Spaces cluster related memos automatically. Your "Recipes" Smart Space fills itself as you save food photos. Zero manual filing.

On-Device AI — 100% Private

All auto-naming, transcription, OCR, and organization runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. Your memos never leave your phone. The most private memo app on iPhone.

"I deleted four memo apps after installing Némos. Everything I save just ends up organized — I don't think about filing anymore."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Némos a free memo app?+
Yes. Némos is a free memo app with unlimited saves across all content types — text memos, voice memos, screenshots, links, PDFs, and more. The free plan includes auto-organization, OCR, voice transcription, and full search. Pro ($8.99/month) unlocks advanced AI features like unlimited chat-with-your-notes, but most people never need it.
What makes Némos different from other memo apps?+
Most memo apps are either text-only (Apple Notes, Google Keep) or limited to one type of content (Voice Memos for audio, Photos for screenshots). Némos is a universal memo app that saves 15+ content types in one private library, uses on-device AI to auto-organize everything, and makes it all searchable with OCR and voice transcription. Zero manual filing.
Is there a memo app download for PC, Mac, or Android?+
Némos is built for the Apple ecosystem — iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch — plus Chrome and Safari browser extensions that work on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Use the browser extension to save links and content from any desktop. A native Android app is not currently available because Némos relies on Apple's on-device Foundation Models for AI processing.
Can I use Némos as a voice memo app?+
Yes — and it's one of the best voice memo apps on iPhone. Record a voice memo from the home screen, Control Center, Apple Watch, or the lock screen. Némos transcribes every recording on-device and makes the full transcript searchable. You can record meetings, lectures, and walks, then search any word later. All transcription is private — nothing uploads to the cloud.
Does Némos work offline?+
Yes. Némos is offline-first — every feature, including AI auto-organization, OCR, voice transcription, and search, works without an internet connection. This is possible because all AI runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. Data syncs via iCloud when you're back online.
How do I find old memos in Némos?+
Open the search bar and type any keyword. Némos searches text memos, transcripts of voice memos, text inside screenshots (via OCR), link titles, and PDF contents — all at once. You can also browse by date, by Smart Space, or by custom folders. Finding an old memo takes about two seconds.
Is Némos safer than other memo apps?+
Yes. Most memo apps upload your memos to their servers for AI features, backups, or sync. Némos processes everything on-device using Apple Intelligence. Your memos never leave your phone except to sync between your own Apple devices via iCloud. Némos cannot read your memos and never sells your data — it's the most private memo app on iOS.
When is Némos launching on the App Store?+
Némos is currently in private beta. Join the waitlist and you'll get early access plus a launch notification. We're onboarding beta testers in waves throughout 2026.
