Locinote

Notes, scanner & OCR search

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The escape hatch for your old notes app: import Evernote, Bear, or UpNote in one tap. Local-first, on-device OCR, no AI — and export is free forever. Locinote is a fast, private note app — and the escape hatch for the one you're leaving. MOVE YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY IN ONE TAP Coming from Evernote, Bear, or UpNote? Locinote imports your notes directly — formatting, checklists, tables, tags, timestamps, images, and PDF attachments included. Evernote (.enex), Bear (.bear2bk), and Markdown exports all work. Large accounts stream in without freezing, and re-running an import never creates duplicates. FIND ANYTHING — EVEN INSIDE PHOTOS Search covers titles, note text, and tags. With Pro, on-device OCR reads the text inside your images and PDFs, so a photo of a receipt, a whiteboard, or a scanned letter becomes searchable. Photos are never uploaded to a server to be read — OCR runs entirely on your device. SCAN DOCUMENTS Point your camera at a page. Locinote finds the edges, straightens the page, and saves a crisp PDF into your note — searchable like everything else. YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS Export is a promise, not a feature: on every plan, free forever, you can download your entire library as ENEX, Markdown, or HTML. You can leave any time and take everything with you. No lock-in, ever. WORKS OFFLINE Locinote is local-first. Notes open and edit instantly with no connection, then sync securely across your devices when you're back online. NO AI. JUST NOTES. Your notes aren't training data and they aren't a chat window. Locinote does one thing: keeps your notes fast, private, and organized. EVERYTHING ELSE • Notebooks and colored tags to organize your way • Pin, sort, and filter to keep the important stuff on top • Reminders on any note with local notifications • Email-to-note (Pro): forward any email to your private Locinote address and it becomes a note • Sync across all your devices — phone, tablet, and desktop • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email • Delete your account and all data anytime, right from Settings FREE AND PRO Free: 100 notes and 100 MB of storage, with full editing, sync, import — and always full export.
