Overview

ConniePad is an offline-first note-taking app for macOS and iOS that combines fast, native performance with AI-powered semantic search. Instead of relying on traditional tags and folders to find notes, you can describe what you're looking for in natural language and the AI will locate matching content. The app also includes an AI chat feature embedded within notes, letting you have editable, savable conversations for consistent results on repetitive tasks. Built as a fully native app, ConniePad opens, creates, edits, and saves notes within one second. It supports rich formatting with highlighting, text color, tables, markdown auto-conversion, and formatting shortcuts. Notes are organized with folders and tags similar to Finder, and can be exported to Markdown and PDF with folder hierarchy preserved. Speech-to-text uses local AI models with no data sent to servers. All data syncs via iCloud across macOS and iOS devices. ConniePad offers a free tier with up to 50 notes and a one-time lifetime purchase for unlimited use.
