What the free app includes
The core notes experience is not a trial.
You can keep writing without a note limit, search your archive, follow automatic connections, sync with iCloud and export your data without paying for a subscription. Premium is optional and adds expanded Insights, Ongoing and Done statuses, additional themes and matching app icons rather than unlocking basic note ownership.
Automatic connections
Onuri quietly recognises people, places, dates, and topics as you type, linking your thoughts without manual folders or tags.
Fast text search
Instantly search through your entire note collection or follow related connection tags to rediscover past ideas and memories.
Private iCloud sync
Your notes can sync across your Apple devices through your personal iCloud account and Apple CloudKit. Onuri does not require an Onuri-operated notes server for this sync.
TXT & CSV export
Export your notes in plain-text or CSV formats so you can keep an independent copy of your writing and move your data elsewhere.
Optional Premium
Support independent development and unlock expanded Insights, Ongoing and Done statuses, additional themes and matching app icons with optional Onuri Premium.
Zero tracking
Free does not mean ad-supported.
The Onuri app is designed without advertising, analytics SDKs or tracking. Notes are stored on-device and, when sync is enabled, in your personal iCloud through Apple CloudKit. The website may use separate site analytics; this privacy claim refers to the Onuri app.
