Choose Apple Notes if…
You live in the Apple ecosystem and want a reliable, no-cost notes app that syncs everywhere by default.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want notes that connect to the rest of your day, including tasks, journal, inbox and calendar, with AI as a choice you control and can turn off completely.
The architectural difference
Apple Notes is one strong app among separate system apps. MySamantha is a single workspace where those pieces are designed together, so your notes, tasks, journal, email and calendar share one home.
Let’s save you hours of re-reading your own notes
Your notes transform with one click.
MySamantha can summarize, turn lines into to-dos, draft emails, or explain complex ideas, all without leaving your note.
Your voice becomes clean notes instantly.
Speak naturally, MySamantha turns your words into structured, readable notes with headings, paragraphs, and key points. No effort, no retyping.
Your notes organize themselves.
Stop naming and sorting your notes manually. MySamantha generates clear titles, groups your notes automatically, and keeps everything tidy so you focus on writing, not organizing.
Every note is one ask away.
Can’t remember where you wrote something? Just ask Samantha, and she can find, summarize, or open the note you need.
A notes app that happens to have an assistant.
Documents, tables, backlinks, version history, web capture and search all work on their own. Samantha is there when you want her, and gone when you switch AI off.
