About SelfNote
SelfNote is a personal note-taking and journal app that uses AI to organize thoughts automatically. You record a voice note or write text, including from WhatsApp, and the AI sorts it into categories such as tasks, ideas, reminders and goals, so notes can be found later in a Self Notes list.
The site describes three steps: record, let the AI sort, and access. It describes itself as a secure and private intelligent journal, offers a demo recorder on the page, and invites visitors to start for free.
