Hirsla
Share it. Ask for it later.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Now on iPad. Every answer numbers its sources, so you can open the card it came from. Share things in, ask for them later. The AI runs on your device. No account.
Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Best with Apple Intelligence, on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, or iPad with M1 or A17 Pro and newer.
Hirsla is a small place for the things in between: the door code, the parking level, the claim number, the restaurant someone recommended. Too small for a note, too useful to lose.
SHARE IT
Tap Share in any app and pick Hirsla. Links, text, places, photos, PDFs, voice memos, calendar files. Nothing to name, no folder to choose. Your iPhone writes the card: a title, a short summary and the details that matter, like codes, addresses and deadlines. Without Apple Intelligence the titles and summaries are simpler.
ASK FOR IT LATER
Type or speak: "What was the door code for the hotel?" You get the answer and the cards it came from. If it is not in your cards, Hirsla is built to say so.
WORKS IN FLIGHT MODE
The AI runs on your device with Apple's on-device model. Once Apple Intelligence is set up, your cards, search and Ask work without a connection. Saving a new link needs one, to load the page.
SOURCES FOR EVERY ANSWER
Each sentence of an answer carries a small number. Tap it to open the card it came from, with the passage it used marked.
ON IPAD AND IPHONE DUO
On iPad, the list and the open card sit side by side, with a sidebar for your card types. Drop anything onto Hirsla to save it, or drag a card out as its original. Keyboard shortcuts such as ⌘K to ask and ⌘N for a new note are in the menu bar. On iPhone Duo, Hirsla uses the system's own toolbar and tab bar.
DRAW
Add a drawing as a card, with Apple Pencil on iPad or a finger on iPhone. Your handwriting is read on the device and can be found like any other text.

PRICE
Free to download, with room for 100 cards. If you need more, you can add room in packs from Settings, as often as you like. Packs are optional in-app purchases. No subscription, no ads.
