Key facts:
- Capture asks nothing: type, dictate in any of about 100 languages (Whisper), take a photo, or record a conversation
  (up to two hours, speakers told apart).
- The agent's output lives under the note, never inside it. Proposals (checklist, merge, split, polish) apply only on
  the person's tap, with Undo; a calendar event is added only when the person taps Add.
- Every note has a permanent number (N-45) and a handle in its lens (WAT-3); mentions always show the current handle.
- Notes untouched for 14 days fade; a weekly review keeps or archives them. Nothing is deleted except by "Delete forever".
- Chat answers only from the person's notes and cites them. It is not a general assistant.
- Passwords, PINs, card numbers and keys are detected by code, never sent to the AI, and stored encrypted.
- Google Calendar: events on Day, meeting context for notes, add a note to the calendar on tap. Events are not stored.
- Noteer is an MCP server: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and the Claude app can find and read notes (read-only, secrets
  masked, photos not sent) once the person allows them.
- Data stored in the EU (Frankfurt). Not end-to-end encrypted. No ads, no data sales, no location, ever.
- AI: Claude (Anthropic) reads notes and answers chat; Groq (Whisper) for voice; Deepgram for recorded conversations.
- Not available yet: push notifications, native phone apps (an Android app is in testing, not in Google Play), export
  of all notes in one click, Linear.

- [Noteer](https://noteer.co): A notes app with an AI agent inside. Write or say anything; Noteer adds a due date, a fact or a question, files the note and brings it back when it matters.
- [How it works](https://noteer.co/how-it-works): What happens after you write a note in Noteer: the agent’s one line, due dates, lenses and handles, Catch up, the Map, chat, fading and the weekly review.
- [FAQ](https://noteer.co/faq): Answers about Noteer: what the AI does and never does, languages, recorded conversations, secrets, where your data lives, devices, and what it costs.

## Use cases
- [Use cases](https://noteer.co/use-cases): What people use Noteer for: voice notes that become dates and lists, meeting notes by speaker, and ideas and to-dos that sort themselves and come back.
- [Voice notes](https://noteer.co/use-cases/voice-notes): Dictate in any language. Noteer writes it down as you said it, offers a tidy version, turns spoken lists into checklists and day words into due dates.
- [Meeting notes](https://noteer.co/use-cases/meeting-notes): Record a conversation and get one line per speaker. Notes written in a meeting know which meeting they came from; follow-ups go on your calendar when you say so.

## Questions and answers
### What is Noteer?
Noteer is a notes app with an AI agent living inside your notes. You write or say anything, and capture asks nothing back: no folders, no tags, no title.

In the background the agent reads each note and, when it has something useful, adds one line under it: a due date, a fact, or a yes/no guess. It groups notes by subject into lenses, turns day words into due dates, and keeps everything it wants from you in one place, Catch up.

### How is Noteer different from a regular notes app?
A regular notes app keeps what you wrote. Noteer also keeps why you wrote it: the agent records the context, places dates, connects notes that mention each other, and brings a note back when it is due.

Notes you stop touching fade out of sight instead of piling up, and nothing is ever deleted unless you delete it.

### Is Noteer a chatbot?
No. It is a notes app first. There is a chat, but it answers only from your notes and shows which notes it used. It is not a general assistant and it doesn’t search the web.

### Who is Noteer for?
People who juggle many projects and conversations: engineers, product managers, founders, anyone who writes things down and loses them. The first screen is only a place to write, so it works for anyone.

### Does the AI change what I write?
Never. Your words stay exactly as you wrote them. The agent’s words live under your note, in a different typeface.

When it has a better version, such as a tidied dictation, a checklist made from a spoken list, or two notes merged into one, it shows a proposal. Only your tap applies it, and every change has Undo.

### What does the line under a note say?
At most one line: a fact (“Marcus is the Waterside client”), a status (“due Friday, 9:30”) or a yes/no guess you answer in one tap. Most short, clear notes get nothing, and then nothing shows below them.

### What are lenses and handles?
A lens is a group the agent makes when several notes share a subject, for example “WAT · Waterside”. A note in a lens gets a handle like WAT-3, and every note also keeps a permanent number like N-45.

A mention of a note always shows its current handle, so references never go stale. You can rename or remove a lens, or take a note out of one; the agent won’t put it back.

### What is Catch up?
The one place where the agent asks for things: overdue dates, guesses, questions about names it can’t place, proposals and the weekly review.

Yellow in Noteer means “the agent needs you”, and nothing else is yellow. Your notes, your day and the map never nag.

### Does Noteer delete old notes?
No. Notes nobody touches for 14 days fade out of sight into Fading, and a weekly review lets you keep what matters and archive the rest. Archived notes stay in Noteer.

Only you can delete a note, with Delete forever: the note, its history and the agent’s data about it are removed from every device.

### Does Noteer send reminders?
Not as push notifications yet. A reminder sets a due date, and the note shows in Urgent, on Day and in Catch up when it is due. Notifications are on the roadmap.

### Which languages does Noteer understand?
Voice is written down by Whisper (large-v3), which understands about 100 languages, and Noteer keeps your words in the language you spoke. Ukrainian and Russian are checked against each other so one isn’t written as the other.

Chat answers in the language you ask in. The agent’s short line under a note is in English for now.

### Can Noteer record a meeting and tell the speakers apart?
Yes. Start a recording and switch on Conversation; it can run for up to two hours. Afterwards the audio is written down with the speakers told apart, and the note arrives with one line per turn (“Speaker 1: …”). You can then name each speaker.

Everyone being recorded has to agree to it; Noteer reminds you the first time.

### Is my audio stored?
Voice notes: no. The audio passes through to the transcription service and only the text is kept.

Recorded conversations: the audio is held in pieces only until it is written down, then deleted; pieces that couldn’t be written down are removed within a day.

### Does the AI see my passwords?
No. Passwords, PINs, door codes, card numbers, API keys, seed phrases and similar are found by code before anything reaches the AI. The AI sees only a placeholder such as “[secret: password]”, and the secret is stored encrypted with a key of your own. You still see it in your note.

One exception: a secret you say out loud reaches the transcription service, because detection works on text.

### Where is my data stored, and who can read it?
In a Postgres database in Frankfurt, Germany (EU), encrypted on disk by the database provider; secrets are encrypted again with a key per person.

Noteer is not end-to-end encrypted, because the agent has to read your notes to help. That means the operator could technically read them; they don’t, except to fix a problem you report or when the law requires it. The privacy policy has the details.

### Are my notes used to train AI models?
No. Notes are read through Anthropic’s API, whose commercial terms exclude customer content from model training. Voice goes to Groq with zero data retention switched on, and conversations go to Deepgram with its model-improvement program switched off.

Noteer shows no ads and sells no data.

### Does Noteer use my location?
No, never. Noteer never asks where you are, and the site tells the browser to refuse location access. Visit counts on the public pages show which country visits come from, never who.

### How much does Noteer cost?
Nothing while Noteer is in testing. Each person has a daily allowance of agent work (150 agent calls a day), which keeps it free for everyone.

Paid plans with more agent use will come later, and there will be a free plan.

### Is there an app for iPhone or Android?
Noteer runs in the browser on your phone and your computer, with an interface made for each, and one account syncs them. Add it to your home screen to open it like an app. A native Android app is in testing; it isn’t in Google Play yet.

### Does Noteer work offline?
Once it is open, yes: new notes and edits are saved on the device first and sync when you are back online. Opening it from scratch with no network isn’t supported yet.

### Does Noteer connect to my calendar?
Google Calendar, yes. Your events show on Day, a note written during a meeting knows which meeting it came from, and you can put a note on your calendar, only when you tap Add. Events are read when shown and never copied.

Linear and other connections are next.

### Can I export my notes or delete my account?
Any note can be copied as Markdown today. A one-click export of everything is planned; until then, write to hello@noteer.co and you will get all your notes. Deleting your account works the same way, by email, within 30 days.

### How do I start?
Open noteer.co/app and sign in with Google. There is nothing to set up: a short, optional interview helps the agent get to know your work, and you can skip it.
