Google Keep importWhy a separate Notes app
Notes deserve a focused home—and your wider personal context should still benefit.
Writing, attachments, reminders, and imports need a purpose-built experience. Notes owns that experience and remains the source of truth, while LifeStory can consume a derived feed without taking over the original content.
A dedicated space for capturing, editing, finding, and organizing notes.
Your note database and attachments remain in the Notes app on your device.
Pin, rate, archive, attach files, set reminders, and preserve meaningful versions.
A versioned on-device feed is published automatically so LifeStory can learn from notes without becoming their owner.
Current iPhone beta
A calm, capable workspace for everyday notes.
Create and edit
Start a text note quickly, save meaningful changes as new versions, and keep the original note thread intact.
Photos and files
Add camera images, selected photos, and files when a note needs more than text.
Pin, rate, and archive
Keep important notes at the top, add a one-to-five-star rating, share deliberately, and archive completed material.
Local reminders
Schedule reminders, receive local notifications, and review upcoming or past reminder activity from Settings.
Owner-triggered imports
Import supported Apple Notes and Google Keep export data through a controlled Settings workflow.
Automatic LifeStory feed
Notes publishes a derived, versioned feed through an on-device App Group. Referenced attachments are copied into that shared container. Notes stays authoritative; LifeStory creates its own reviewable projection.
How it works
Capture here. Use the context where it helps.
- 1
Create or import
Write a new note, add attachments, or bring in an owner-controlled notes export.
- 2
Organize locally
Edit, pin, rate, share, archive, and set reminders inside the dedicated Notes experience.
- 3
Publish a derived feed
Notes automatically writes a versioned representation and copies referenced attachments to the shared on-device App Group.
- 4
Works with LifeStory
Your note remains a note. LifeStory receives context.
The connection is one-way and automatic. Notes publishes a derived feed and copies referenced attachments into the shared on-device App Group, and LifeStory reads it. LifeStory does not reach into the Notes database or modify the original note and attachments.
Built for the agentic AI era
Apps designed for your personal ecosystem.
Notes begins with a familiar writing experience, but it is designed so your knowledge can remain yours and become useful across the tools and AI agents you choose.
A tool you already understand
Write, attach, organize, and set reminders without learning an AI control panel. Intelligence supports the task instead of replacing the app's clear purpose.
Connect your Core
The current beta automatically feeds derived note context and referenced attachments to LifeStory through the local App Group. Its ownership and data-flow model is designed for PIOS 2.0 and Prifina Core compatibility; direct Core connection is a separate upcoming integration.
Liberty. Equality. Data.
Built with the Personal AI freedoms in mind: control your data, choose where it lives and which AI serves you, and keep your context portable over time.
Privacy and data handling
Your notes remain in your Notes app.
No account or Prifina notes cloud is required. Note content, attachments, reminder state, and settings are stored locally on the device.
Local source of truth
The Notes app owns its database and attachments. LifeStory does not become the authoritative note store.
Permission-controlled attachments
Camera, photo library, files, contacts, location, microphone, and notifications are used only after the relevant iOS permission or owner action.
Owner-triggered imports
Apple Notes and Google Keep content enters only when you select and run an import from an export you control.
Narrow LifeStory connection
The automatic integration uses a local App Group feed, including copies of referenced attachments. Notes does not expose its private database to a remote service.
Notes is an application by Prifina. See Prifina's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Help test Notes
The external iPhone beta is approved.
Public TestFlight access is available for focused testing of note creation, attachments, reminders, imports, persistence, and one-way LifeStory integration.
FAQ
Common questions
Why is Notes separate from LifeStory?
Notes needs a focused capture and organization experience. Separating the products also keeps ownership clear: Notes stores the original note, and LifeStory receives only a derived feed.
Can LifeStory edit or delete my original note?
No. The feed is one-way. LifeStory creates and maintains its own memory projection without modifying the Notes database.
Can I import Apple Notes or Google Keep?
The beta supports owner-triggered import workflows for supported Apple Notes and Google Keep export formats.
Are reminders synced to a Prifina server?
No. Reminders and their notifications are local to the app and iOS.
