Built-in editing runs on your Mac
Open a note and choose Ask AI. Rewrite or proofread the text, summarize it, translate it, suggest a title, or turn information into a table. Read the result before using it, especially names, numbers, and commitments.

File loose notes after you review the plan
Choose Organize with AI from the folder picker. NotchPad uses note titles and short summaries to suggest folders for unfiled notes. Locked notes are skipped and already filed notes stay where they are. Review the proposed folders and assignments, then apply the ones you want.
Save work from Claude, Codex, or Cursor
AI Connections is a separate option. Connect an MCP-compatible app inside NotchPad Settings and choose what it can read or write. Ask it to save a research summary, add a checklist, or append the next update to an existing note. These connections use that app’s models and privacy settings. See the setup guide.
