Product Overview
One WitNote for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The Mac version is on the App Store now; the iPhone and iPad versions are coming with 2.0.6.
WitNote is free to download. WitNote Pro is a one-time purchase, shared across Mac, iPad, and iPhone (once the iPhone and iPad versions are out).
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your notes stay in files and folders you choose.
The center of the product is still the user's Markdown files: a selected folder becomes a working knowledge space for writing, reading, conversion, and review. AI stays beside the document instead of replacing the document as the source of truth.
The bundled Qwen3 0.6B 4-bit model gives a new user a ready local starting point. Additional model downloads are optional network actions and remain subject to the source model's own license and notice files.
- Platforms
- Mac / iPhone / iPad One app across Mac, iPhone, and iPad: the Mac version is on the App Store now, and iPhone and iPad are coming with 2.0.6. WitNote Pro is a one-time purchase shared across all three.
- Core
- Markdown workspace User-selected folders, editable documents, previews, and exports remain the center of the workflow.
- AI
- On-device AI A small built-in model runs on your device for polishing, summaries, grammar checks, titles, and outlines; other downloaded models are disclosed separately.
- Privacy
- Local-first No account is required. User-selected folders, Markdown documents, and exports stay in the locations you choose, and the built-in on-device model does not upload documents. If you choose to use optional connected AI where it is available, text is sent to a service of your choice only when you send a request; on Mac, attached document content also requires a separate per-endpoint permission.
Why It Matters
Each product page is written for users, reviewers, and builders: what it solves, what it does not solve, and what can be reused.
One app, three devices
Use WitNote on Mac, iPhone, or iPad with the same workflow and the same one-time WitNote Pro purchase; the iPhone and iPad versions are coming with 2.0.6. The interface is available in 12 languages.
Privacy with explicit boundaries
Local files and local inference are separated from model downloads, StoreKit, and any external page the user chooses to open.
Core Experience
Markdown workspace
Keep notes, drafts, and HTML pages in files and folders you choose. Edit Markdown, preview the rendered result, and keep the source files available to other tools.
Local knowledge workflow
Folders, pinning, and search by name, path, or full text turn your own directory into a lightweight knowledge base.
On-device AI
A small built-in model runs on your device to polish a draft, pull out key points, check grammar, suggest titles, or outline an idea. It is optional, and speed and quality depend on your device.
Reading and conversion
Open Markdown, text, HTML, Word, PDF, EPUB, and image files in one place. Convert and export to PDF, Word, HTML, plain text, or a phone-friendly long image; conversion and export are unlocked by WitNote Pro.
Release discipline
Each release is checked as one chain: package signing, model notices, clean-start behavior, purchase restore, store metadata, and App Review evidence.
Design Principles
Keep the public promise reproducible
The product page only describes the built-in model and verified workflows that the submitted app can actually reproduce on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Separate product code from model rights
MLX, Qwen3, and any user-downloaded model remain credited through package notices and source terms instead of being presented as one proprietary asset.
Make publishing part of engineering
Privacy wording, support links, purchase recovery, model downloads, package integrity, and App Store metadata are tested against the same release candidate.
Build Diary
The new WitNote diary entry explains the 2.0.1 Swift-native rewrite, local Markdown architecture, MLX model path, model-management lessons, legal boundaries, and the release checks that connect engineering to App Store publishing.
