Opensolr Notes documentation

Text notes on your phone and in your own Opensolr Index, found by words and by meaning.

Welcome!

Opensolr Notes is a free, open source Android app for text notes. Every note is saved on the phone and in an Opensolr Index of your own, and is found by words and by meaning: in the app, on a search page on the web behind your two-factor code, and through a chat that quotes your notes.

It needs an Opensolr account.

The app signs in with your Opensolr account and keeps your notes in an index of that account. The free account is enough; the parts that use AI (the meaning of notes and searches, the chat) count against the AI use of your plan.
