# Manex
> Manex is an AI notes and voice journal app for iPhone (iOS 26+). Type a thought or speak an entry — an on-device brain understands it, connects it, and retrieves it when you ask in plain language. It is free to download with 25 moments included; a one-time $29.99 purchase unlocks lifetime access. Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/manex-ai-notes-journal/id6760401778 — with iOS 27, image capture gains the same on-device understanding.

## Key Concepts
- On-device AI memory: notes and voice journals are understood privately on the iPhone — no cloud round-trip for memory processing.
- Ultimate brain retrieval: entries are connected by people, places, topics, and time, so asking a question returns the exact memory.
- Ask in plain language: search memories semantically, e.g. "the idea I recorded after the meeting" or "what was I worried about in June?"
- Private by default: memory stays on the device.
