How Onuri works
Onuri is a private notes app for iPhone that turns ordinary writing into connected context. Write a note in your own words, let Onuri recognise useful people, places, dates, times and topics, then find related notes through search and connections — without folders or manual tags.

Start with a normal note
There is no folder to choose and no tagging system to maintain before you can start.
Type a thought the way you would say it: “Coffee with Sarah in Seoul on Friday. I’ll see her at 2pm.” As you write, Onuri recognises useful pieces of context and shows them as coloured pills.
Automatic context
When you save, the note joins your personal feed with its recognised context attached.
If Sarah, a birthday, a place or an idea appears again later, Onuri can use that shared context to help surface the related entries. You keep writing naturally instead of deciding where every thought belongs.
Follow a connection
A person, place, date or topic can become a path through your notes.
Filter by Sarah, for example, and Onuri surfaces connected context such as cake, birthday, Coffee, Seoul, Friday and Wednesday. Instead of navigating a folder tree, you move through the relationships already present in your writing.
Search what you remember
Search the words or idea you remember and let the connected notes narrow the result.
A search for “Sarah’s birthday” brings back the notes where those ideas overlap, even when the exact wording around them is different. Search works with the text you wrote and the context Onuri recognised from it.
Premium Insights
As your archive grows, Premium can look across your own entries for recurring patterns.
Insights can surface recurring people, places, themes, connections, time patterns and semantic clusters. Premium also adds Ongoing and Done statuses, five additional themes and matching app icons. The goal is not to make you organise more — it is to help you notice what keeps showing up in the writing you already created.
The difference
Onuri is designed around one simple loop: capture first, recognise context automatically, then rediscover your past notes through the relationships between them.
Private by design
The Onuri app uses no ads, tracking or third-party analytics SDKs. Recognition and Insights are designed to run on-device, while notes can sync through your personal iCloud account across supported Apple devices.
Your writing stays portable
Onuri supports TXT and CSV export, so your notes are not meant to be trapped inside the app. The free tier includes unlimited notes and the core automatic connection experience.
That is the whole idea behind Onuri: write naturally today, then make yesterday’s notes easier to rediscover tomorrow.
