Express yourself freely

With Markdown support, FirstSeed Notes handles everything from a plain record to richly formatted writing. Headings and lists are easy, and smart formatting makes todos comfortable to enter even on a phone.

Images, quotes and block elements are supported too, so you can lay a note out however the material calls for. Links appear as previews, letting you see what you have collected while you organize it.

Write simply, or write richly. FirstSeed Notes brings natural expressiveness to your everyday notes.

From notes to action

Whatever needs doing that comes up inside a note can be organized as a todo right there. A passing thought turns naturally into the next step, and the steps add up day by day.

Note previews show how far along your todos are at a glance. You can complete several at once, or move the unfinished ones out into another note.

Every todo across all of your notes can also be listed in one place, so you can see everything that needs doing together.

Capture what stands out

A line that stayed with you, or a passage you want to come back to, can be kept as a highlight. Revisiting it later often sparks a new idea, and the thinking you have gathered slowly builds on itself.

Every highlight across all of your notes can be listed in one place, making it easy to look back on the words that matter most.

Real-time transcription and summaries

Record meetings, lectures or a passing thought inside the app and keep them alongside your notes. Voice recognition in iOS 26 and macOS 26 transcribes recordings automatically, at no extra cost.

There is no switching between a recorder and your notes: a voice capture sits beside a written one, ready to revisit in exactly the same way.

Premium AI features go further — refining transcripts, generating summaries, drafting meeting minutes and pulling out to-dos, turning what you recorded into your next step.

Make it your own

Adjust text size and line spacing, and use Markdown or smart formatting to build a writing environment that suits the way you write.

Whether you prefer to keep things plain or to shape them as you go, FirstSeed Notes is flexible enough to stay with your style.

Character and line counts can be shown as well, so you can feel your daily record adding up.

Right where you need them

FirstSeed Notes supports Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Show the contents of a chosen note, list your todos, or mark one complete — all without opening the app.

Recent and favorite notes can be shown too, one tap away from the editor. And the + button on the Lock Screen creates a new note instantly, so a thought never gets away.

Write whenever the moment comes, without breaking your flow.

Sync and share your notes

Your notes stay in sync across devices — iPhone, iPad and Mac — so the same content is with you wherever you are.

Share an individual note, or a whole notebook at once. It works as a personal record and just as well for keeping a team in the loop.
