Nothing leaves
your phone.

No account. No cloud. No analytics, ever. Your moments are written to your device and stay there — a journal that respects the difference between sharing your life and surrendering it.

01Mark it

One tap, and the whole moment is kept.

Press once. Notata records where you are, the weather at that instant, the time, your elevation — even who you’re with. You type nothing unless you want to.

  • Location & street address, found automatically
  • Live weather at the moment you mark
  • Photos, people, a note, a rating — if you want them

02Group it

Your trips assemble themselves.

Mark moments as you go. Notata gathers everything inside a journey’s dates into a single trip — every city, every stop, in one place. A travel diary that wrote itself.

  • Auto-grouped by date range — or found in your camera roll
  • A trip map with every pin from the journey
  • Rename, edit dates, revisit any time
03See the shape of it

See the shape of your life.

Zoom out. Notata lays your years on a single line — where you lived, where you worked, the trips you took, the milestones that mattered. Everything, in perspective.

  • Residences & career as colour-coded spans
  • Trips and milestones marked in place
  • Zoom from a whole decade down to a single day

04Place it

Every moment, placed.

See all your marks on one map — the coastline you walked, the desert you crossed, the corner café you keep coming back to. Your geography, drawn by memory.

  • Every moment dropped as a pin
  • Zoom to a single trip’s route
  • Tap any pin to open the moment
Also on Apple Watch

Mark it from your wrist.

Some moments you don’t want to interrupt to dig out a phone. Raise your wrist, tap once — Notata captures where and when. Add a note or a rating right there, or leave it; the rest fills in later.

  • Location & time captured the instant you tap
  • A quick note and a five-star rating, right from the watch
  • Everything lands on your timeline back home

The rest of it, quietly.

A printed story of your year

Your moments woven into a warm, tactile little magazine — your trips, weather, and people, written into a keepsake and mailed to your door.

When these land, they’ll carry a nominal fee — only because servers, printing, and postage aren’t free. Your core journal never will be. We’ll tell you right inside the app when they’re ready.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do I need an account?+

No. Notata works the moment you open it — no sign-up, no email, no password. There’s nothing to create and nothing to log in to.

Where does my data live?+

Entirely on your device. Your moments, photos, trips, and even your home location are stored locally and never uploaded. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is an optional feedback email — and only if you choose to send one.

Is it free?+

Yes. Capturing moments and every view — timeline, trips, map, and lifeline — is free now and stays free, permanently. That’s not a launch promo; it’s how we’re building this. Any future paid feature would be an addition that depends on servers, never your core journal.

Can I back up or move my moments?+

Anytime. Export your entire history as a single JSON file you keep, and import it back on a new phone. Your record is yours to hold and move — no cloud account required.

Do I have to write anything?+

Not a word. One tap captures your location, the weather, and the time automatically. Notes, photos, people, and ratings are there when you want them — optional, never required.

What if there’s no signal?+

Mark the moment anyway. Notata records the time immediately and fills in location and weather when it can — and if a fix never arrives, you can set the place yourself later. Nothing is lost.
