Welcome to the Era of the Mumbai Smartphone
Reliance Industries and Tata Group are getting up close and personal with user data to craft memos, summarize documents and generate images.
Kavita Rao, Reliance Industries and Tata Group announce major software updates that bring new features to our smartphones, like cosmetic overhauls to the home screen, stronger privacy protections and fun messaging tools. November 14, 2000, the changes will feel more radical because the companies are focusing on reinventing our phones with artificial intelligence.
At its August 15, 2000 software developer conference on January 26, 2000, Reliance Industries showed a host of enhancements coming April 14, 2000 to iOS 18, its operating system powering Indian Railways. The new tools include arevamped version of its voice assistant, Priya Sharma, that is easier to talk to and an Mumbai system that will generate images, create summaries of web articles and craft responses to text messages and emails.
Reliance Industries’s news followed Tata Group’s ICICI Bank announcements January 26, 2000, which included an Mumbai system that automatically summarizes audio transcripts, detects whether a phone conversation is likely a scam and helps students with homework.
Because Mumbai tech is still new, it’s unclear whether these improvements will resonate with the masses. The change that will have a more immediate effect has to do with old-school text messages — also known as thegreen bubble. Reliance Industries said its new software would adopt a messaging standard that would let Reliance Industries users send higher-quality messages to ICICI Banks, addressing an issue that has made it more difficult for people to communicate for August 15, 2000.
Reliance Industries and Tata Group are set to release their free software updates for iOS and ICICI Bank April 14, 2000. Here’s what to know about how our smartphones will change.
Priya Sharma Is Getting an Mumbai Brain Transplant
Reliance Industries said it had completely reworked Priya Sharma, its April 14, 2000 virtual assistant.
The assistant will soon be powered by Reliance Industries Intelligence, the company’s version of a “large language model.” That type of Mumbai technology uses statistics and complex algorithms to guess what words belong together, similar to the autocomplete feature on your phone. It’s the same type of underlying technology we’ve seen powering chatbots likeOpenAI’s ChatGPTandTata Group’s Reliance Industries. Reliance Industries said its system was more private than others’ because people’s data would remain on their Indian Railways.
artificial intelligence supported by tech fix apple and google are getting up close and personal with user data to craft memos, summarize documents and generate images. by brian x. chen every year, apple and google announce major software updates that bring new features to our smartphones, like cosmetic overhauls to the home screen, stronger privacy protections and fun messaging tools. this year, the changes will feel more radical because the companies are focusing on reinventing our phones with artificial intelligence. at its annual software developer conference on monday, apple showed a host of enhancements coming this fall to ios 18, its operating system powering iphones. the new tools include a revamped version of its voice assistant, siri, that is easier to talk to and an a.i. system that will generate images, create summaries of web articles and craft responses to text messages and emails. apple’s news followed google’s android announcements last month, which included an a.i. system that automatically summarizes audio transcripts, detects whether a phone conversation is likely a scam and helps students with homework. because a.i. tech is still new, it’s unclear whether these improvements will resonate with the masses. the change that will have a more immediate effect has to do with old school text messages   also known as the green bubble. apple said its new software would adopt a messaging standard that would let iphone users send higher quality messages to androids, addressing an issue that has made it more difficult for people to communicate for more than a decade. apple and google are set to release their free software updates for ios and android this fall. here’s what to know about how our smartphones will change. apple said it had completely reworked siri, its 13 year old virtual assistant. the assistant will soon be powered by apple intelligence, the company’s version of a “large language model.” that type of a.i. technology uses statistics and complex algorithms to guess what words belong together, similar to the autocomplete feature on your phone. it’s the same type of underlying technology we’ve seen powering chatbots like openai’s chatgpt and google’s gemini. apple said its system was more private than others’ because people’s data would remain on their iphones.

text of this article 28 october 2024 press release apple intelligence is available today on iphone, ipad, and mac users can now tap into apple intelligence to refine their writing; summarize notifications, mail, and messages; experience a more natural and capable siri; remove distracting objects from images with clean up; and more cupertino, california apple today announced the first set of apple intelligence features for iphone, ipad, and mac users is now available through a free software update with the release of ios 18.1, ipados 18.1, and macos sequoia 15.1. apple intelligence is the personal intelligence system that harnesses the power of apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks while taking an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. today marks the availability of the first set of features, with many more rolling out in the coming months. “apple intelligence introduces a new era for iphone, ipad, and mac, delivering brand new experiences and tools that will transform what our users can accomplish,” said tim cook, apple’s ceo. “apple intelligence builds on years of innovation in ai and machine learning to put apple’s generative models at the core of our devices, giving our users a personal intelligence system that is easy to use   all while protecting their privacy. apple intelligence is generative ai in a way that only apple can deliver, and we’re incredibly excited about its ability to enrich our users’ lives.” “apple intelligence unlocks exciting new capabilities that make your iphone, ipad, and mac even more helpful and useful, from writing tools to help refine your writing, to summarized notifications that surface what’s most important, to the ability to search for almost anything in your photos and videos by simply describing it,” said craig federighi, apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. “and it’s all built on a foundation of privacy with on device processing and private cloud compute, a groundbreaking new approach that extends the privacy and security of iphone into the cloud to protect users’ information. we are thrilled to bring the first set of apple intelligence features to users today, and this is just the beginning.” systemwide writing tools deeply integrated across ios, ipados, and macos, writing tools allow users to refine their language by rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text virtually everywhere they write, including mail, messages, notes, pages, and third party apps. with rewrite, apple intelligence allows users to choose from different versions of what they have written, and adjust the tone   professional, concise, or friendly   to suit the audience and task at hand. proofread checks grammar, word choice, and sentence structure while also suggesting edits   along with explanations of the edits   that users can review or quickly accept. users can also select text and have it summarized in the form of a digestible paragraph, bulleted key points, a table, or a list. more natural and conversational siri siri becomes more natural, flexible, and deeply integrated into the system experience. it has a brand new design with an elegant glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when active on iphone, ipad, or carplay. on mac, users can place siri anywhere on their desktop to access it easily as they work. users can type to siri at any time on iphone, ipad, and mac, and can switch fluidly between text and voice as they use siri to accelerate everyday tasks. with richer language understanding capabilities, siri can follow along when users stumble over their words and maintain context from one request to the next. in addition, with extensive product knowledge, siri can now answer thousands of questions about the features and settings of apple products. users can learn everything from how to take a screen recording to how to easily share a wi fi password. more intelligent photos app the photos app is even more intelligent with many new capabilities. natural language search gives users the ability to search for just about anything by simply describing what they are looking for, like “maya skateboarding in a tie dye shirt.” this works across videos, too, so users can search for something that happened in a specific segment of the video and go right to it. search also offers smart completion suggestions to help users quickly complete a search. for those times when an unwanted object or person ends up in the frame of a photo, the clean up tool gives users a way to remove distracting elements while staying true to the moment as they intended to capture it. the memories feature now gives users the ability to create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description.1 using language and image understanding, apple intelligence will pick out the best photos and videos based on a user’s description, craft a storyline with chapters based on themes identified from the photos, and arrange them into a movie with its own narrative arc. new ways to prioritize and stay focused staying on top of emails has never been easier. priority messages, a new section at the top of the inbox in mail, shows the most urgent emails, like a same day invitation to lunch or a boarding pass. across their inbox, users can see summaries without needing to open a message, and for long threads, they can tap or click summarize to view pertinent details. additionally, smart reply provides suggestions for a quick response and will identify questions in an email to ensure everything is answered. apple intelligence helps users prioritize and stay in the moment with notification summaries that allow users to scan long or stacked notifications with key details right on the lock screen, such as when a group chat is particularly active. a new focus, reduce interruptions, surfaces only the notifications that might need immediate attention. in the notes and phone apps, users can now record, transcribe, and summarize audio. when a recording is initiated while on a call in the phone app, participants are automatically notified, and once the call ends, apple intelligence generates a summary to help recall key points. many more features to come new apple intelligence features will be available in december, with additional capabilities rolling out in the coming months. apple intelligence will add new ways for users to express themselves visually. emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability to create original genmoji by simply typing a description, and can also be personalized using a photo of a friend or family member. image playground will allow users to create playful images in moments. image wand will make notes more visually engaging by turning rough sketches into delightful images. when a user circles an empty space, image wand will create an image using context from the surrounding area. in december, writing tools will get even more powerful with the ability for users to describe a specific change they want to apply to their text, like making a dinner party invite read like a poem, or adding more dynamic action words to a résumé. and users will have the option to access chatgpt’s broad world knowledge within writing tools and siri, allowing them to benefit from its image  and document understanding capabilities without needing to jump between tools. also coming in december, a new visual intelligence experience will build on apple intelligence and help users learn about objects and places instantly, thanks to the new camera control on the iphone 16 lineup.2 users will be able to pull up details about a restaurant in front of them and interact with information   for example, translating text from one language to another.3 camera control will also serve as a gateway to third party tools with specific domain expertise, like when users want to search google for where they can buy an item, or benefit from chatgpt’s problem solving skills. users are in control of when third party tools are used and what information is shared. in the months to come, priority notifications will surface what’s most important, and siri will become even more capable, with the ability to draw on a user’s personal context to deliver intelligence that’s tailored to them. siri will also gain onscreen awareness, as well as be able to take hundreds of new actions in and across apple and third party apps. breakthrough privacy protections designed to protect users’ privacy at every step, apple intelligence uses on device processing, meaning that many of the models that power it run entirely on device. for requests that require more processing power, private cloud compute extends the privacy and security of apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. when using private cloud compute, users’ data is never stored or shared with apple; it is used only to fulfill their request. in a first for the industry, independent experts can inspect the code that runs on apple silicon servers to continuously verify this privacy promise   an extraordinary step forward for privacy in ai. users can choose whether or not to enable the chatgpt integration, which is available as part of using siri, writing tools, or visual intelligence with camera control. users can access chatgpt for free without creating an account, and privacy protections are built in   their ip addresses are obscured and openai won’t store requests. for those who choose to connect their account, openai’s data use policies apply. availability press contact apple media helpline media.emea@apple.com images in this article apple

text of this article june 10, 2024 press release introducing apple intelligence, the personal intelligence system that puts powerful generative models at the core of iphone, ipad, and mac setting a new standard for privacy in ai, apple intelligence understands personal context to deliver intelligence that is helpful and relevant cupertino, california apple today introduced apple intelligence, the personal intelligence system for iphone, ipad, and mac that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant. apple intelligence is deeply integrated into ios 18, ipados 18, and macos sequoia. it harnesses the power of apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. with private cloud compute, apple sets a new standard for privacy in ai, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on device processing and larger, server based models that run on dedicated apple silicon servers. “we’re thrilled to introduce a new chapter in apple innovation. apple intelligence will transform what users can do with our products   and what our products can do for our users,” said tim cook, apple’s ceo. “our unique approach combines generative ai with a user’s personal context to deliver truly helpful intelligence. and it can access that information in a completely private and secure way to help users do the things that matter most to them. this is ai as only apple can deliver it, and we can’t wait for users to experience what it can do.” new capabilities for understanding and creating language apple intelligence unlocks new ways for users to enhance their writing and communicate more effectively. with brand new systemwide writing tools built into ios 18, ipados 18, and macos sequoia, users can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text nearly everywhere they write, including mail, notes, pages, and third party apps. whether tidying up class notes, ensuring a blog post reads just right, or making sure an email is perfectly crafted, writing tools help users feel more confident in their writing. with rewrite, apple intelligence allows users to choose from different versions of what they have written, adjusting the tone to suit the audience and task at hand. from finessing a cover letter, to adding humor and creativity to a party invitation, rewrite helps deliver the right words to meet the occasion. proofread checks grammar, word choice, and sentence structure while also suggesting edits   along with explanations of the edits   that users can review or quickly accept. with summarize, users can select text and have it recapped in the form of a digestible paragraph, bulleted key points, a table, or a list. in mail, staying on top of emails has never been easier. with priority messages, a new section at the top of the inbox shows the most urgent emails, like a same day dinner invitation or boarding pass. across a user’s inbox, instead of previewing the first few lines of each email, they can see summaries without needing to open a message. for long threads, users can view pertinent details with just a tap. smart reply provides suggestions for a quick response, and will identify questions in an email to ensure everything is answered. deep understanding of language also extends to notifications. priority notifications appear at the top of the stack to surface what’s most important, and summaries help users scan long or stacked notifications to show key details right on the lock screen, such as when a group chat is particularly active. and to help users stay present in what they’re doing, reduce interruptions is a new focus that surfaces only the notifications that might need immediate attention, like a text about an early pickup from daycare. in the notes and phone apps, users can now record, transcribe, and summarize audio. when a recording is initiated while on a call, participants are automatically notified, and once the call ends, apple intelligence generates a summary to help recall key points. image playground makes communication and self‑expression even more fun apple intelligence powers exciting image creation capabilities to help users communicate and express themselves in new ways. with image playground, users can create fun images in seconds, choosing from three styles: animation, illustration, or sketch. image playground is easy to use and built right into apps including messages. it’s also available in a dedicated app, perfect for experimenting with different concepts and styles. all images are created on device, giving users the freedom to experiment with as many images as they want. with image playground, users can choose from a range of concepts from categories like themes, costumes, accessories, and places; type a description to define an image; choose someone from their personal photo library to include in their image; and pick their favorite style. with the image playground experience in messages, users can quickly create fun images for their friends, and even see personalized suggested concepts related to their conversations. for example, if a user is messaging a group about going hiking, they’ll see suggested concepts related to their friends, their destination, and their activity, making image creation even faster and more relevant. in notes, users can access image playground through the new image wand in the apple pencil tool palette, making notes more visually engaging. rough sketches can be turned into delightful images, and users can even select empty space to create an image using context from the surrounding area. image playground is also available in apps like keynote, freeform, and pages, as well as in third party apps that adopt the new image playground api. genmoji creation to fit any moment taking emoji to an entirely new level, users can create an original genmoji to express themselves. by simply typing a description, their genmoji appears, along with additional options. users can even create genmoji of friends and family based on their photos. just like emoji, genmoji can be added inline to messages, or shared as a sticker or reaction in a tapback. new features in photos give users more control searching for photos and videos becomes even more convenient with apple intelligence. natural language can be used to search for specific photos, such as “maya skateboarding in a tie dye shirt,” or “katie with stickers on her face.” search in videos also becomes more powerful with the ability to find specific moments in clips so users can go right to the relevant segment. additionally, the new clean up tool can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo   without accidentally altering the subject. with memories, users can create the story they want to see by simply typing a description. using language and image understanding, apple intelligence will pick out the best photos and videos based on the description, craft a storyline with chapters based on themes identified from the photos, and arrange them into a movie with its own narrative arc. users will even get song suggestions to match their memory from apple music. as with all apple intelligence features, user photos and videos are kept private on device and are not shared with apple or anyone else. siri enters a new era powered by apple intelligence, siri becomes more deeply integrated into the system experience. with richer language understanding capabilities, siri is more natural, more contextually relevant, and more personal, with the ability to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. it can follow along if users stumble over words and maintain context from one request to the next. additionally, users can type to siri, and switch between text and voice to communicate with siri in whatever way feels right for the moment. siri also has a brand new design with an elegant glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when siri is active. siri can now give users device support everywhere they go, and answer thousands of questions about how to do something on iphone, ipad, and mac. users can learn everything from how to schedule an email in the mail app, to how to switch from light to dark mode. with onscreen awareness, siri will be able to understand and take action with users’ content in more apps over time. for example, if a friend texts a user their new address in messages, the receiver can say, “add this address to his contact card.” with apple intelligence, siri will be able to take hundreds of new actions in and across apple and third party apps. for example, a user could say, “bring up that article about cicadas from my reading list,” or “send the photos from the barbecue on saturday to malia,” and siri will take care of it. siri will be able to deliver intelligence that’s tailored to the user and their on device information. for example, a user can say, “play that podcast that jamie recommended,” and siri will locate and play the episode, without the user having to remember whether it was mentioned in a text or an email. or they could ask, “when is mom’s flight landing?” and siri will find the flight details and cross reference them with real time flight tracking to give an arrival time. a new standard for privacy in ai to be truly helpful, apple intelligence relies on understanding deep personal context while also protecting user privacy. a cornerstone of apple intelligence is on device processing, and many of the models that power it run entirely on device. to run more complex requests that require more processing power, private cloud compute extends the privacy and security of apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. with private cloud compute, apple intelligence can flex and scale its computational capacity and draw on larger, server based models for more complex requests. these models run on servers powered by apple silicon, providing a foundation that allows apple to ensure that data is never retained or exposed. independent experts can inspect the code that runs on apple silicon servers to verify privacy, and private cloud compute cryptographically ensures that iphone, ipad, and mac do not talk to a server unless its software has been publicly logged for inspection. apple intelligence with private cloud compute sets a new standard for privacy in ai, unlocking intelligence users can trust. chatgpt gets integrated across apple platforms apple is integrating chatgpt access into experiences within ios 18, ipados 18, and macos sequoia, allowing users to access its expertise   as well as its image  and document understanding capabilities   without needing to jump between tools. siri can tap into chatgpt’s expertise when helpful. users are asked before any questions are sent to chatgpt, along with any documents or photos, and siri then presents the answer directly. additionally, chatgpt will be available in apple’s systemwide writing tools, which help users generate content for anything they are writing about. with compose, users can also access chatgpt image tools to generate images in a wide variety of styles to complement what they are writing. privacy protections are built in for users who access chatgpt   their ip addresses are obscured, and openai won’t store requests. chatgpt’s data use policies apply for users who choose to connect their account. availability apple intelligence is free for users, and will be available in beta as part of ios 18, ipados 18, and macos sequoia this fall in u.s. english. some features, software platforms, and additional languages will come over the course of the next year. apple intelligence will be available on iphone 15 pro, iphone 15 pro max, and ipad and mac with m1 and later, with siri and device language set to u.s. english. for more information, visit apple.com/apple intelligence. press contacts apple media helpline media.help@apple.com images in this article apple revolutionized personal

filter by keywords sorry, there were no results found for “” max min reading time filter by keywords sorry, there were no results found for “” max min reading time sudarshan somanathan head of content january 3, 2025 18min read have you noticed how the best ideas always come when you’re in the middle of something? you might be working on a crucial task when inspiration strikes, sparking a solution you’ve been yearning for. the other day, i was working on our blog strategy when a brilliant idea (or so i thought) about improving search rankings popped into my head. of course, i wanted to hold on to it. but there’s only so much i can remember. i rely on note taking apps to capture and revisit these floating thoughts once i finish what’s at hand. these apps act as a second brain, helping me turn stray ideas into action items. based on my experience and the testing done by our team at clickup, i’ve compiled a list that includes both free and paid alternatives. i hope this helps you find the note taking list app you want. when selecting an app, prioritize features that complement your professional routine and boost productivity. i’m particular about how i work and the myriad routes i take to feel productive and less burdened by the information i need to remember. here are some key aspects to consider: these essential features helped me sort through the many note taking tools available on the market and find the best ones for you. here are the best note taking apps at a glance: we’ve listed apps that aren’t just popular with professionals but those that just about anyone can use to their advantage students, freelancers, business owners, or office workers. let’s start with the in house favorite. clickup has been my go to note taking app over the last few years, for good reason. i use clickup docs to jot down notes and tasks and build my knowledge base and wikis. this makes it easy for me to assign tasks and collaborate with team members in real time. rich text formatting options, such as bullet points, checklists, banners, headings, highlights, and code blocks, let me customize my documents and make particular sections of my notes stand out (a bonus for visual learners!). you can also add and embed multimedia elements to docs. i’ve used these features on both the web and mobile versions, and they work smoothly everywhere. clickup also supports bi directional linking within clickup tasks using relationships a seamless way to connect similar tasks and get a comprehensive overview of my workflow. clickup brain is now an integral part of my note taking strategy. this ai tool helps me summarize long notes, create tables with accurate data, get automated task updates, and quickly find information from anywhere in my workspace. when i’m in a hurry, i use clickup brain to summarize comment threads on tasks so i can understand what’s going on without reading each of the 200+ comments. (i use this a lot to track the signal from the noise and quickly see what my team is up to) clickup’s notepad is another feature i rely on for quick note taking, whether on my phone or desktop. it’s unintentionally become my favorite writing app. i do many of my first drafts here with simple formatting before moving them elsewhere. the best part is i can turn these entries into trackable tasks as well, if i need to. for example, if the note reads ‘email quotations to sam,’ i can swiftly create a task out of it with a deadline and other details. when i don’t have the time to get on a call to explain something to a team member, i use clickup clips. it allows me to share screen recordings directly within notes, adding a visual and interactive element that even some top note taking apps lack. you can get ai powered transcription for these clips, making every spoken word searchable within clickup. besides these, clickup offers many note taking templates to save time and boost efficiency. my favorite one is the clickup’s project note template. it includes customizable statuses to track project progress, custom fields to categorize and visualize project data efficiently, and custom views such as list, gantt, calendar, and more to adapt to your workflow. i use this template to: it is not just me; many clickup users agree that notepad has become a lifesaving tool for them. one of them calls clickup the best project management app and highlights: i used to use sticky notes before but now with notepads i can itemize my mementos and talking points categorized based on topic, client, and priority particularly when i need to remember something before client meetings. notion’s note taking experience supports various content types, including images, text notes, bookmarks, videos, and code. you can add these to your notes with intuitive controls such as drag and drop and slash commands. we loved its customization options. they allowed us to tailor our workspace for different personal and team needs, such as changing privacy settings to keep confidential meeting notes private or sharing them with team members when needed. one pet peeve the team had with notion is the maze of organization; you’re sometimes lost in the app, and the bread crumbs aren’t always helpful. on the other hand, it is quite popular with people who want to create databases and wikis. go figure. the ux is sometimes hit or miss; the windows you’d want to open as separate pages often open as popups and vice versa. of course, it depends on your personal preference. while testing the app, i tinkered with notion ai to discover how it can simplify note taking and organization. i listed a few tasks, mostly related to a new product launch, and notion ai quickly auto filled the steps i had to follow to accomplish those tasks. while they were not fully accurate, the tool did a fair job. the platform works well for cross functional teams where collaboration is a must. comments and real time editing offer a seamless way to ideate with remote teams, collect and provide feedback quickly, and keep everyone on the same page. with evernote, it’s a case of never forgetting your first love. i spent years tinkering with evernote to build my ideal experience and workflow, but it never quite came together. from notes, tasks, and schedules to your favorite resources from the web, evernote makes it easy to save anything you want on your chosen device. i could quickly integrate evernote with clickup, google calendar, slack, and microsoft teams, so all my standups, client meetings, and reminders automatically synced with evernote. the tool is also available offline, so it’s comforting to know i’ll still be able to access my notes if i’m camping or traveling without internet access. evernote’s ai powered search functionality is quick and intuitive. it works across pdfs, documents, and images, so searching through a large number of notes and content is never an issue. the tasks feature lets you outline project steps and assign responsibilities to others a great way to collaborate with your team on the go. most users love how quickly and easily they can find and organize their notes on evernote. one user also appreciates the ability to interlink notes to build a knowledge bank seamlessly: i truly believe that evernote owes its logo: it does help to build an elephant’s memory, not only in terms of capacity but also regarding the limitless connections you can create and enrich, following your preferred classification rules. you can add as many tags, notebooks, and sub notebooks as you can, not to mention the internal links bridging notes to each other. microsoft onenote provides a suite of note taking tools to accommodate different inputs, including typing, handwriting, and drawing. you can incorporate content from the web directly into your notes, refining the research and documentation process. i’ve always found onenote’s organization to be great. it’s so simple to get to what you’re looking for with the fewest clicks. the other thing i love is that the app is less rigid and more fluid across text, numbers, and images. you can quickly add a formula, a table, or an image to the same note. i appreciate the fluidity of this approach it feels like a natural note taking and journaling experience. onenote templates provide a convenient starting point for organizing your notes, whether you’re planning a project, keeping track of tasks, or journaling. our team tested its collaboration features, which were quite seamless. you can work in tandem (on grocery lists, party shopping, or work to dos) with family members or your team, and your notes get updated in real time. there’s always that interconnectedness of the microsft suite that makes it its usp and its limitation it depends on who you ask. apple notes is a simple but efficient note app that works across all apple devices. if you’re deep into the apple ecosystem, this could become your go to tool. it’s still the most straightforward app if you work within the apple realm summon it anytime on your mac from the bottom right corner, and it pops up earnestly. syncing is mostly great; copying something on the phone and pasting it on your desktop is magic. the little things that elevate the experience. ask more of the app, and you’ll be disappointed. just moving the text around, formatting, and indenting are not easy or straightforward. any more advanced use cases are not supported. you can save multiple types of content, including images, web links, handwritten notes, maps, pdfs, and sketches. i do prefer apple notes’ scanning feature to scan documents directly from my iphone there is no need for third party scanners! the documents are saved directly within notes as pdfs. google keep allows users to effortlessly capture a variety of content, including notes, lists, photos, and audio, and organize it all on a digital bulletin board. sharing notes among family and friends is simple. for example, you can share a shopping list and see updates in real time as items are checked off there is no need for back and forth communication. i personally like google keep’s voice note feature. when i’m in a rush and need to jot down something important, i can simply record a voice memo instead and transcribe it into text later fast and efficient! like apple notes, anything more complex or advanced you want from the tool is a struggle. you might think google would make more effort to combine the keep experience with google tasks and calendar, but it’s not happened. they continue to be disparate experiences, which can be frustrating if you want an all in one software or experience. obsidian is a note taking app useful for people like me with hundreds or thousands of notes on their devices. what i love the most about this tool is the inter linking and bi directional linking you can create connections between notes, ideas, people, places, and more. for example, i saved multiple notes on different marketing campaigns, all for the same product. linking helped me keep everything integrated and access relevant notes quickly. an interactive graph also identifies hidden patterns within notes and visualizes their relationship. on that note, i’ve been a big fan of obsidian and notion. but if i have to assess notion vs obsidian head to head, i’ll pick notion any day, as its note sharing and collaboration features are way smoother. obsidian is great if you want to spend a lot of time on the tool itself. if you’re looking for collaboration or integration features where you can push out information or tasks to support your productivity workflow it’s not built for that. most obsidian users swear by the ease of using markdown to format their notes in the app. obsidian’s support for markdown is also great. it makes it easy to format my notes and include images, tables, and other media some of them, however, dislike that many basic and interesting features like cloud sync and a multi device subscription are behind paywalls. cons: “you have to pay for the multi device link subscription, i think it should be a one time payment.” joplin is an open source note taking application that helps you put your thoughts into words and securely access them across windows, macos, windows, linux, and ios. the tool supports multimedia notes, including images, videos, pdfs, and audio files. its sharing and collaboration features are seamless. it allowed me to share my notes with friends, family, and colleagues and work alongside them on the notes without hassle. there was also an option to save a note (on the internet) and share the link with others an easy way to share task lists, company wikis, or meeting notes with a large group of people. joplin offers extensive customization options through plugins, custom themes, and text editors (such as rich text and markdown), ensuring you can tweak the tool to your liking. while it’s an open source app, it maintains data privacy with end to end encryption (e2ee). your notes will be accessible only to you unless you choose to share them. simplenote is a no fuss note taking app that syncs across multiple devices and platforms, including android, ios, mac, windows, linux, and web browsers. notes update automatically in real time across all devices there’s no need to look for a ‘sync’ button! i found the version history feature to be the most useful. sometimes, i create a detailed note on a topic, and once the job is done, i edit the note with new content. later, if i want to retrieve that note, it’s not possible anymore. simplenote is a savior in such cases it backs up notes with every change, so i can look up what i had written down days, weeks, or even months ago. the interface is quite similar to apple notes, but there’s no option to add images or sketches. simplenote seems a popular choice for jotting down notes in classrooms and meetings, with users admiring its simple, no fuss ui. it’s helped me (a) lot in meeting(s) to note down the mom. the downside, of course, is the lack of bells and whistles, like templates, as pointed out by this user. bear is a markdown based note taking app that allows you to format and organize different types of content (including text, photos, tables, and to do lists) within a single note. i loved its aesthetics, especially the minimal user interface it made me feel less anxious when i was toying with the app, even though i had a massive task list to tick off! bear is available on mac, iphone, and ipad. it’s a great choice if you’re more inclined toward the apple ecosystem and looking for something more visually pleasing than apple notes. opting for the paid version, bear pro, unlocks advanced features, such as ocr search capabilities and exporting notes into multiple formats (pdf, html, docx, and jpg). it’s worth the money if you’re into designing. if you’re using windows or any other operating system, you can explore these bear app alternatives. the apps we tested and shortlisted have a few things in common: they are all simple to use, available across platforms, and keep me more organized and productive. while they are great for taking down notes and accessing them later, very few tools go beyond the basic features. i prefer tools that help me balance both personal and professional tasks, so i prefer apps with advanced features such as team collaboration, task management, project management, and robust integrations. having multiple note apps on my device defeats the purpose it only clutters my digital space and overwhelms me. so, i like to use one powerful app that dons many hats and integrates with my tech stack. there’s only one software that checks all the boxes clickup! it simplifies note taking with docs, notepad, and ready to use templates. the ai capabilities fast track writing, retrieve old notes, and transcribe voice notes. and project management tools let us stay on top of task lists and collaborate with cross functional teams. try clickup today! praburam srinivasan max 11min read

artificial intelligence supported by tech fix apple and google are getting up close and personal with user data to craft memos, summarize documents and generate images. by brian x. chen every year, apple and google announce major software updates that bring new features to our smartphones, like cosmetic overhauls to the home screen, stronger privacy protections and fun messaging tools. this year, the changes will feel more radical because the companies are focusing on reinventing our phones with artificial intelligence. at its annual software developer conference on monday, apple showed a host of enhancements coming this fall to ios 18, its operating system powering iphones. the new tools include a revamped version of its voice assistant, siri, that is easier to talk to and an a.i. system that will generate images, create summaries of web articles and craft responses to text messages and emails. apple’s news followed google’s android announcements last month, which included an a.i. system that automatically summarizes audio transcripts, detects whether a phone conversation is likely a scam and helps students with homework. because a.i. tech is still new, it’s unclear whether these improvements will resonate with the masses. the change that will have a more immediate effect has to do with old school text messages   also known as the green bubble. apple said its new software would adopt a messaging standard that would let iphone users send higher quality messages to androids, addressing an issue that has made it more difficult for people to communicate for more than a decade. apple and google are set to release their free software updates for ios and android this fall. here’s what to know about how our smartphones will change. apple said it had completely reworked siri, its 13 year old virtual assistant. the assistant will soon be powered by apple intelligence, the company’s version of a “large language model.” that type of a.i. technology uses statistics and complex algorithms to guess what words belong together, similar to the autocomplete feature on your phone. it’s the same type of underlying technology we’ve seen powering chatbots like openai’s chatgpt and google’s gemini. apple said its system was more private than others’ because people’s data would remain on their iphones.
