Find the note you wrote in March.
Kajero is a notes app for your Mac. Press ⌥Space in any app and write. Kajero suggests where the note belongs, and weeks later you ask in your own words and get it back.

The problem
You wrote it down. Ten minutes before the call, you can't find it.
Everything goes into one pile
Apple Notes opens fast, so everything goes in: call notes, ideas, the command you'll need again. A few hundred notes later, most of it sits in a folder called Misc, or in no folder at all.
Search wants the exact words
You remember what the note was about, not how you phrased it. So search finds nothing, or a list of hundreds.
Bigger apps want a decision first
Notion and Obsidian ask for a database, a folder or a template before you've finished the thought. If you tried them, you probably drifted back to Apple Notes.
How it works
Three keys between a thought and finding it again.
Hold ⌘ on this page to see every shortcut. The app works the same way.
Write it down from any app
A small panel opens over whatever you're doing. Type, press ⌘↵, and you're back where you were. The note waits in your Inbox.
Kajero suggests where it goes
It reads the note and your existing folders and tags, then suggests a title, a folder and tags. Press ↵ to accept, or pick something else first.
Ask in your own words
Weeks later, type your question the way you'd ask a colleague. Kajero answers from your notes and shows which note the answer came from.
Find it again
Ask the way you remember it.
You remember that it was about Meier, sometime in spring, something about two phases. Kajero can work with that.
Every answer shows its source
Numbered sources sit under the answer. Press 1 and the note opens, so you can read what you actually wrote.
Dates count
Ask about last week or about March, and Kajero looks at the notes from that time.
Plain search, too
Type a word in ⌘K and it searches titles and text across all your notes at once, with or without AI.
Capture
Write the thought down before you know where it belongs.
⌥Space opens the capture panel over any app, full-screen ones included, with the cursor already in the text field.
Back to work in one keystroke
⌘↵ saves to the Inbox and returns you to the app you came from. Saving never waits for the AI.
File it with one key
The suggestion sits right on the note in the Inbox. ↵ files it, Esc leaves it there for later, and Undo brings it back.
Pasting keeps its shape
Text from Notion, Google Docs or a web page keeps its headings and lists. A command you copy lands in a code block exactly as you copied it, and what you type stays as you typed it.
AI
AI that asks before it changes anything.
Every change the AI makes arrives as a suggestion you accept or reject. Every note keeps its history, so any earlier version is one key away.
Suggestions in the text
Ask it to shorten or fix a paragraph. New words show in colour, removed words are struck through, and nothing changes until you accept.
Filing waits for you
Kajero never moves a note on its own. A filed note goes back to the Inbox with one click.
History for every note
Each save and each AI change is a version with its author. Open yesterday's version and press R to bring it back.
Or switch it off
Without AI, Kajero is a complete notes app: writing, folders, search, import and export.
On your Mac
Your notes stay yours, and you pay once.
Download it, open it, write. You only need an account to have your notes on your iPhone, iPad or another Mac.
On your Mac, offline too
Every note is saved on your Mac and works without internet. Kajero also makes a backup every day and keeps the last 14.
The AI you choose, or none
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter with the key from your account there, or use a free model that runs on your Mac. The AI gets only the text a feature needs, and none of it passes through us.

€29 once, for all your devices

Take your notes anywhere
Export a note, a folder or everything whenever you like. You get Markdown files with their images, plain text that almost any app can open. A folder of such files comes in with its structure.
Bring your Apple NotesComing soon
One step brings all your Apple Notes over with their folders and dates. Kajero then marks notes that look outdated or replaced by a newer one and suggests a place for each. Nothing changes until you accept.
On your iPhone and iPad too
An app for iPhone and iPad is on its way, free like the Mac app. Sign in on each device and your notes are there, encrypted on the way and on our servers in Germany. Sync is part of the license; until the license is out, sync has no time limit.
Pricing
Kajero is free. Pay once for sync and AI.
Writing, reading, search, import and export stay free for good, with or without an account. The license adds sync between your devices and the help with filing and finding.

FAQ
Questions
Is there an iPhone app?
Not in the App Store yet. The app for iPhone and iPad is on its way and will be free there too. Once you sign in, it shows the same notes as your Mac. The license will cover it, and you'll be able to buy it in the app too, at the same price. Until then, Apple Notes keeps working on your phone next to Kajero.
Can I use Kajero on more than one Mac?
Yes. Sign in on each Mac and your notes are there, with nothing to set up. They're encrypted on the way and on our servers in Germany. Sync is part of the license, which is coming soon; until then, sync has no time limit. Without an account, the license will work on up to 3 Macs, each with its own notes.
Are my notes safe?
Yes. On your Mac, your notes work without an account and without internet. When you sign in to use them on more devices, they're encrypted on the way and on our servers in Germany. We don't read your notes, we never sell your data, and there are no ads. Crash reports and usage statistics stay off until you turn them on. Lose a device, sign in on another, and your notes come back. If you'd rather keep the key to your notes only on your devices, turn on end-to-end encryption in Settings: from then on, we can't open what you sync. A new device then needs your recovery code or one of your devices, and if you lose the code and every device, nobody can bring your notes back. The privacy policy has every detail.
Is sync included, or is it a subscription?
Sync is part of the license, between all your devices, and 5 GB for attachments are included. There's no subscription. If a version 2.0 comes, sync keeps working for you on 1.x without an upgrade.
Apple Notes is free. Why would I pay?
You don't have to. Kajero is free on your Mac, and on iPhone and iPad once the app is out: writing, reading, search, import and export, for good. The license adds sync between your devices and the AI features: filing suggestions for your Inbox, questions with sources in ⌘K, and suggestions in the text. It's coming soon. You'll pay once, €29 at launch and later €39, for all your devices and every 1.x update.
Can I keep using Apple Notes?
Yes. Kajero leaves Apple Notes alone, so you can use both: Kajero on the Mac for what you'll want to find again, Apple Notes on your phone.
How do I bring my notes over from Apple Notes?
Today, export your notes from Apple Notes as Markdown and choose File › Import Folder in Kajero; subfolders and images come along. A one-step Apple Notes import with folders and dates is coming soon.
Who sees my notes when I use AI?
Only the AI service you choose, and only the text a feature needs, such as the paragraph you're editing or the notes your question is about. Kajero sends it straight from your Mac and shows you which notes it sent. With a model that runs on your Mac, nothing leaves it. Your AI requests never pass through us.
What do I need for the AI features?
An account with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter, and the key from that account, which you paste into Kajero once. Or a free model that runs on your Mac with Ollama. Signing in with your ChatGPT account instead is coming soon. Until you connect one, the AI stays off.
Is Kajero built with Electron?
Yes. Kajero uses the macOS menu bar, opens the capture panel over full-screen apps, and every action has a keyboard shortcut.
What happens after the trial?
Nothing yet: until the license is out, nothing has a time limit. Then you can try everything free for 14 days, with or without an account. If you created your account or first opened Kajero on your Mac before then, the 14 days start on the day the license comes out; with an account, we'll email you beforehand. After the trial, writing, reading, folders, search, import and export keep working for free. Sync pauses, and the AI features and the tools for developers stop until you buy a license. Your notes stay on every device, and you can export them at any time. They're never locked.
Can I get my notes out?
Yes, whenever you like. Export a note, a folder or everything as Markdown files with their images. They're plain text, so almost any app can open them.
Download
Start with the note you'll need next week.
For macOS 13 or later. Free to use. The license for sync and AI is coming soon.
For developers
Your notes in the terminal, and for your agents.
The kajero command line tool searches, reads and exports notes, and it includes an MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor or Codex get the workspaces you grant and nothing else. Their changes appear in Agent activity with their name and a Revert button. Kajero is open source under AGPL-3.0, and building it yourself is free.
