NextNote: Notes & Writing
Capture ideas. Keep writing.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Capture text, voice, photos, and videos from Home, then keep writing in the same document. Organise with search, templates, archives, and Bin.
Capture the thought now. Give it room to grow later.
NextNote brings quick capture, rich-text editing, voice input, organisation, and focused AI tools into one continuous note-taking workflow. Use it for passing ideas, meeting minutes, study material, checklists, journals, project plans, or longer drafts that need repeated refinement.
CAPTURE STRAIGHT FROM HOME
Open NextNote and start typing without choosing a complicated category or format first. When typing is inconvenient, capture the moment with voice, photos, or video.
A quick capture is not a disconnected message or throwaway draft. Once saved, it becomes a document you can continue editing, search later, organise, reuse, and share. Move from one sentence to a complete piece of writing without starting again in another tool.
NextNote is useful for:
• Quick notes, memos, and everyday ideas
• Meeting minutes and work documentation
• Lecture notes, research material, and study guides
• Journals, reading notes, and writing drafts
• To-do lists, checklists, and project planning
• Voice thoughts, photo references, and video clips
A FLEXIBLE EDITOR FOR REAL WRITING
Create a simple note or develop a longer document in the same editor. Structure your work with headings, paragraphs, rich-text formatting, numbered and bulleted lists, checklists, quotations, and links. Add images, audio, video, drawings, and other content blocks when words alone are not enough.
Start rough and refine over time. Save useful structures as templates for recurring meeting notes, weekly plans, study reviews, journals, or content production. Capture, writing, and organisation stay together, so you do not need to move an idea between several apps.
VOICE AND MULTIMEDIA NOTES
Use voice when an idea arrives faster than you can type, then continue working with the text. Keep images, recordings, videos, and drawings alongside the written context in one document. Preserve source material, visual references, and the process behind your work without splitting them across separate tools.
You can also send text, links, images, or files to NextNote from the system share sheet, then place the imported material in a new or existing document.
AI WRITING HELP, ONE SWIPE AWAY
AI tools sit inside the writing flow instead of in a separate chat. Select text and swipe left to use focused actions in the current document:
• Polish wording and make an explanation clearer
• Expand a short thought into a fuller passage
• Highlight keywords and important points
• Find and add a relevant visual
Every action begins with text you deliberately select. You keep control of the original intention and decide what to change, without copying the passage into another app or breaking concentration.
SEARCH, ARCHIVE, AND REUSE
Search titles and document text to find an earlier note quickly. Move work you do not need now into archive folders to keep Home focused. Deleted documents go to Bin first and can be restored during the retention period.
Turn structures you use repeatedly into templates. As your collection grows, search, folders, archives, Bin, and templates give you practical ways to manage personal notes, work records, study material, and creative projects.
LOCAL NOTES AND ICLOUD
Keep using local notes and core editing tools while offline. Online services are used only when a related feature needs them.
On supported Apple devices, you can use iCloud according to your settings to store and sync content, then continue writing across iPhone, iPad, and compatible devices.
SHARE, EXPORT, AND PUBLISH
When your work is ready to leave the notebook, share it from the document. Send material to other apps, or deliberately publish a document as a web page. You can also prepare adapted versions for different content platforms when that suits your workflow.
From capturing a thought to producing something searchable, organised, reusable, and shareable, NextNote reduces the steps between an idea and a finished document.
