Neska - Catch Every Thought

Nest Labs

About this app

Most notes apps assume you'll remember where you put things, and what words you used. Neska is built for brains that can't reliably do either.

Open it and the cursor is already waiting. No folders. No tags. No deciding what kind of note this is — because that decision is what loses the thought.

CATCH IT, HOWEVER IT ARRIVES

Type it. Say it. Photograph it. Or share text, a link or an image straight into Neska from any other app — it's saved without Neska even opening, so you stay exactly where you were.

IT COMES BACK TO YOU

Snooze a thought and it returns when you asked, as a real notification, even if the app is closed.

Thoughts you'd forgotten quietly resurface on their own — one a day, never more, so it feels like remembering rather than nagging.

FIND IT BY GIST

Search what you remember, not what you wrote. Turn on smart search and Neska understands meaning, so "that pricing thing" finds the note that said "the tier was too steep."

It also picks out the names, places and dates in your notes, so you can find
things by who or when.

SOME THOUGHTS CAN WAIT

Not every thought is ready to be acted on. Hold it somewhere safe and lock it
for a while — it stays held until you're ready to look again. A pause built
into the app, so it doesn't have to come from you.


NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE

Neska collects nothing. No account. No analytics. No crash reporting. No
tracking. No ads.

Your notes, photos and voice recordings are stored on your device and stay
there. Even the search that understands meaning runs on your phone — the
models are inside the app, not on a server. Neska works with no internet
connection at all.

The only time anything moves is when you deliberately export a backup or share a note yourself.

NO STREAKS. NO GUILT.

There is no daily goal, no completion percentage, no badge for tidying up. The pile is the working state, not a failure. Neska will never tell you that you
haven't used it enough.
