Notes

Create, edit, and search personal notes — and let the AI manage them for you.

Overview​

LucidPal has a built-in note-taking layer that stores text notes on-device. Notes are private, never uploaded, and instantly searchable. The AI can create, retrieve, and update notes on your behalf directly from the chat.

Viewing Your Notes​

Tap the Notes tab (notebook icon) in the bottom navigation bar to open the notes list. Notes are sorted by last-modified date.

Tap any note card to open the full Note Editor, where you can read, edit, and save changes.

Creating a Note Manually​

  1. In the Notes list, tap the + button in the top-right corner.
  2. Type a title (optional) and your note body.
  3. Tap Save — the note appears immediately in the list.
tip

Notes support plain text only. Use line breaks to structure content — the AI can read and summarize multi-line notes without any special formatting.

Asking the AI to Manage Notes​

The AI can act on notes directly from the chat using natural language. No need to leave the conversation.

Create a note​

"Save a note: dentist appointment Tuesday at 3 PM"

"Note that I need to review the project proposal before Friday"

Retrieve notes​

"What notes do I have about the project?"

"Show me everything I saved this week"

Update a note​

"Update my shopping list note — add oat milk"

The AI responds with a confirmation card showing the note title and a preview of the content.

note

The AI matches your query against note titles and body text. Phrase your requests naturally — exact titles are not required.

Save Note via Siri​

Use the Save Note shortcut to create a note hands-free.

  1. Open Shortcuts → Automation, or ask Siri:

    "Hey Siri, Save Note in LucidPal"

  2. Dictate the note content.
  3. LucidPal saves it in the background — no need to open the app.

You can also add the shortcut to your Home Screen or Siri Suggestions for one-tap access.

Searching Notes​

In the Notes list, pull down to reveal the search bar. Typing filters notes in real time by title and body content.

Deleting a Note​

Swipe left on any note card in the list, then tap Delete. This action is permanent.

warning

Deleted notes cannot be recovered. There is no trash or undo.

What data is stored and where?

All notes are saved locally on your device in the app's sandboxed storage. They are included in standard iPhone backups (iCloud or iTunes) if backup is enabled. Notes are never sent to any server.
