Capture a thought, voice memo, or photo in seconds. Musing keeps the moment — place, weather, time — and helps you find it later in plain language. No folders, no tags. Free on iPhone and Mac. Optional Pro Mode: bring your own Perplexity, Anthropic, or OpenAI key for cited web search — you choose the provider and control the costs.
Save anything without deciding where it belongs. Musing quietly keeps the context, then brings the note back the way you remember it.
Type, speak, snap, share, or just check in. Photos are read on your device, and “remind me Tuesday at 9” becomes a real Apple Reminder linked to the note.
Place, weather, time of day, and the kind of place settle into the margin. There are no tags to name, folders to choose, or filing system to maintain.
Ask a question or describe the moment. Musing searches and answers from your own notes with Apple Intelligence — on-device by default, even in airplane mode.
Write it once. Ask for it later. No filing required.
Get Musing freePro Mode adds one optional thing: cited web search. Connect your own API key, choose the model, and keep usage under your control. Reading and understanding your notes still happen on your device.

Use the weather attached to the moment.
Combine kind, place, and time.
Get an answer grounded in your notes.
One notebook, five moods. Pick a room and the whole page moves with it.
Musing has no account, ads, subscription, credits, or unlock packs. We do not collect your notes or use them to train a model.
A private notes app for iPhone and Mac. Capture text, voice, photos, links, and places, then retrieve them by asking in plain language.
No. Musing keeps useful context automatically, so you can remember a note by its words, place, weather, time, or type without maintaining a filing system.
Yes. There are no ads, accounts, subscriptions, credits, or paid unlock packs.
By default, no. Note text, photos, and queries stay on-device; Ask and understanding use Apple Intelligence where available. Your private iCloud can sync notes between your devices. Weather uses Apple WeatherKit, and shared links fetch a preview from the website you save. The only optional exception is Pro Mode web search, below.
Bring your own AI service. Turn on Pro Mode, paste your own Perplexity, Anthropic, or OpenAI API key, and ask Musing to look something up on the web — from a note, from Ask, or while writing. You choose the provider and control its costs. Only that requested lookup is sent, with cited sources returned. Off by default; nothing is sold inside Musing.
Yes. Musing is native on iPhone and Mac, with your notes synced through your private iCloud when enabled.
Apple Intelligence powers Ask, understanding, and semantic recall. Notes and standard text search remain available without it.
Free forever. Private by design. No filing required.
