4.0.2 — Free, and fully on your iPhone (and Mac) • Completely free. No limits, unlocks, credits, or account. If you bought an unlock before, there's nothing to do — everything is included for everyone now. • By default, nothing goes to an AI provider. Earlier versions sent note text to Claude to answer questions; 4.0 handles note intelligence on-device and works in airplane mode. • Ask, answers with citations, and reading your photos use Apple Intelligence, so those need a device that supports it. Capture, context, and text search work everywhere. • Search by the moment: "coffee shop notes," "rainy day ideas," "notes from Traverse City," "late night notes." • Photos read on-device — receipts get totals, lists become checklists. • Bring your own AI service: Pro Mode supports Perplexity, Anthropic, and OpenAI for cited web search using your API key. You choose the provider and control its costs. Off by default; nothing is sold in Musing. • Universal with Mac and Apple Watch — same private iCloud notebook. Capture a thought. Find it later. That's still the whole app.

Places - a new map of everywhere you've been, right from your notebook. See your most-visited spots, neighborhoods, and how your places break down over time. Check in faster - the place list now finds where you are more reliably, plus a search box for when it doesn't. Tidy up - select and delete multiple notes at once, and remove individual checklist items. Apple Watch - check-ins and voice notes now sync to your iPhone more reliably.

Search that finally gets you. Ask for your notes the way you'd say them out loud - "my receipts," "workouts last month," "the book someone recommended" - and Musing finds them right away. Also new: - Collections: tap a receipt, workout, food, or document note to see them all together, with totals and dates. - Ask real questions across your notes, like "how much did I spend this year," and get an answer. - Faster web look-ups when you want current details added to a note. - Cleaner, calmer screens throughout. Musing is now a one-time purchase - no subscription. Start free, and unlock more whenever you need it.

Musing 3.3 — snap anything, Musing knows what it is. TWELVE KINDS OF NOTE, TAGGED ON SIGHT Snap a product, a meal, a wine, a workout, a book, an ID or card, a storefront, a plant, or your odometer — Musing recognizes it and keeps the details that matter: a model number, a vintage, an expiry date. Tap any note's tag to pull up every other one like it — a collection that assembles itself, never a folder. SWIPE TO SNAP Swipe up from the home screen to catch a photo in one motion. SHARPER ALL AROUND Cleaner writeups, a keener read of your photos, and search that understands what you mean. Plus stability improvements for the latest iPhone software.

Musing 3.2 — a photo that knows what it is. STRUCTURED CAPTURES Snap a grocery list and get a tappable checklist — check off items as you go. Snap an event flyer and get date, time, and venue, with one tap to add a Reminder or Calendar event. Snap a receipt and get merchant, total, and line items, all searchable. Snap a business card and add it straight to Contacts. PHOTO-FIRST HOME The home screen now leads with the camera — swipe up to snap a photo in one motion.

Musing 3.1 — notes that become boards. BOARDS Long-press a note in the spread and choose "Start a Board Here," tap to add more, then Make Board. Name it, proof it full screen, edit right on the board (remove with a tap, undo inline), and share it as a beautiful image or PDF. Save it and it lives under the new Boards filter — rendering live from its notes, in stone by day or espresso by night. ONE NOTE, THE WHOLE VISIT Notes now hold up to eight photos, and each photo gets its own quiet AI line — what it is, the material or finish, any visible brand or label — all searchable. TRUER TO YOUR WORDS Short notes stay exactly as you wrote them. The fragment is the thought.

Musing 3.0 — a complete redesign. Your notebook is now something you handle, not something you operate: • Paper, layered. Every screen rises as a page above your notebook. Pull down anywhere to fall back — all the way home. • Spread and gather. Swipe up on a note and the notebook spreads into a timeline; pull down and it gathers back into your hand. • A new face. Warm stone light mode, deep espresso dark mode, and typography set in Spectral and Newsreader — made to be read. • Your notes, at their best. Every note is automatically cleaned up and enriched; the original is always one tap away. • A new icon to match. Same promise as always: capture a half-formed idea, find it later by asking.

Musing 2.0 — your notes come back to you. REMINDERS FROM YOUR NOTES Write it the way you’d say it — “remind me to renew the passport Tuesday at 9” — and Musing quietly creates a real Apple Reminder, linked back to your note. No forms, no date pickers. MUSING ON APPLE WATCH Capture a thought from your wrist: raise, tap, speak. Your note lands in Musing with its moment attached, synced through iCloud. FIND YOUR WAY, FASTER - Your notes now flow as a timeline — Today, Yesterday, and the months before — with a scrubber to jump straight to any month. - One-tap filters for Reminders, Photos, Links, and Voice notes. SHARE A PHOTO, KEEP ITS STORY A photo shared from Musing carries your note as its caption — with the true time and place embedded, so it files correctly in any photo library. ALSO - Notes now show the time where they were captured, even when you view them from another time zone. - Light mode readability overhaul — stronger contrast throughout. - Musing understands more ways to ask for a reminder (“remember to…”, “note to self…”, “gotta…”).

Web Search — bring the internet into a note - Turn on Web Search as you write and Musing looks it up, folding the details right in, with sources. - It even reads a photo you snapped (like a book cover) and researches what’s in it. - Each web search uses one AI search credit. Plus faster research and refinements throughout.

Search that finds anything - Find a note by any detail it holds — a word you wrote, a place, the weather, even the Wi-Fi you were on. - Typos are fine now — search “keystoen” and still land on “keystone.” - Exact matches surface instantly, so the note you’re picturing is right there. Plus refinements throughout.

Ask your notes Ask a question in plain language — like "what did I think about coffee shops?" — and Musing answers from your own notes, right above your search results, showing the notes it drew from. Smarter search - Photos and screenshots are now searchable by what's in them. - Faster, more consistent results — and better matches as your library grows. - Multi-word searches keep working even offline. Save links beautifully Share a webpage to Musing and it's saved with the page's title and a preview image, not just a plain link. Do more with a note Press and hold any note to Share it or find related notes. Now on Mac Musing runs on Apple Silicon Macs — jot and file notes from your Mac, synced to your iPhone through iCloud. Also: much smoother scrolling through large photo libraries, plus a range of fixes and refinements.

Musing is subscription-free. • No subscriptions, ever. Capturing notes is always free and unlimited. • You get free AI searches every month. Want more? Buy a credit pack — $4.99 for 100 searches, $9.99 for 250. • Credits never expire. Pay once, use them whenever. Plus all the recent polish: photos on note cards, a redesigned note page with a map, a warmer welcome, and live ambient context throughout.

Light mode is now crisp and readable - notes and all text adapt properly to your appearance setting (Light, Dark, or System). Thanks for using Musing. Keep the ideas coming.
