Your words, quietly organised

You just write naturally, and Onuri quietly builds the structure for you, acting as an automatic second brain so everything you've ever written becomes easy to rediscover. Trying to remember a temple you visited in Kyoto five years ago? No digging through categories — tap Japan → Kyoto → temple → found it.

If you love the depth of linked-note workflows but hate manually typing wiki-style links — or if you've outgrown rigid folder structures in Apple Notes — that's the exact gap Onuri is built for. Launched on the App Store in July 2026 for iOS 17.6+.
