Manex is an AI-powered notes and voice journal application designed for iPhone, focusing on private, on-device recall and semantic memory retrieval. It allows users to capture thoughts by typing or speaking, with the app transcribing and understanding voice entries directly on the device. The tool leverages on-device large language models (LLMs) to interpret, organize, and connect notes and voice journals, enabling users to retrieve memories by meaning rather than relying solely on keyword searches.
The app's main features include the ability to type notes or record voice journals, both of which are processed and indexed privately on the user's iPhone. Manex connects entries by people, places, topics, and time, presenting them in an interactive knowledge graph that helps users explore how different moments relate to each other. Users can search their memories using plain language queries, such as asking about specific ideas, feelings, or events, and the app retrieves relevant moments semantically. The platform emphasizes privacy, with all processing occurring on-device; notes and voice entries are not uploaded or stored on external servers, and no user accounts or data harvesting are involved.
Manex is positioned for a range of personal and lifestyle use cases, including travel, bird watching, studying, hiking, cooking, fitness, family and parenting, creative work, home projects, and field notes. It supports workflows such as capturing itineraries, receipts, field observations, recipes, workout notes, and creative ideas, all indexed for future recall. The app currently supports typed and voice entries, with plans to add image capture and understanding as iOS 27 introduces new on-device models. Future enhancements may include integration with wearable devices, pending public SDK access and demonstrated user value.
The app is available as a free download from the App Store, offering users 25 free moments to start. 99 unlocks lifetime access. Manex requires iOS 26 or later for its current feature set, and will expand its capabilities as new iOS versions are released.
