Voice memos & transcription
Record a lecture or a passing thought. Nuru transcribes it automatically — and lets you edit the transcript afterward.
Features
Everything Nuru does.
The full list, grouped the way the app is. Free unless a card is marked Pro.
Capture
Get it down before it's gone.
Photo & scan capture
Snap a whiteboard, slide, or textbook page. Text is extracted with OCR so every capture is searchable and study-ready.
The capture dial
A single control to jot a note, drop a link, snap a photo or video, or start recording — reachable from anywhere in the app.
Inline images & zoom
Drop images right inside your notes, then pinch to zoom any photo full-screen with smooth pan.
Enhanced recordings Premium
Turn a raw voice memo into a clean, punctuated transcript with speakers separated and labeled — ready to study or hand off.
Files & PDFs
Attach PDFs, slides, and documents to any capture and preview them inline — the source stays right next to your notes.
Organize
A home for every course, project, and idea.
Folders & projects
Group captures by class or project. Each folder gets its own AI-generated cover so your library feels yours.
Live document editor
A rich Markdown editor with checklists and formatting that render as you type — no split preview, no clutter.
Search everything
Find any note, transcript, or scanned page across your whole library in a single search.
Reports & PDF export
Turn a folder into a clean, shareable report and export it as a PDF for handouts or study groups.
Recall
Turn your notes into study materials — instantly.
Flashcards
Generate a deck from any capture, then review it with FSRS — the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler, an algorithm that learns your memory and brings each card back the moment you're about to forget it.
Practice questions
Exam-style questions at mixed difficulty. Grade yourself and your results feed the same spaced-repetition schedule.
Concept maps
See how ideas connect in an automatically laid-out map that makes the structure of a topic click.
Study guides
A clean, organized guide generated from your material — everything for a topic pulled together in one place.
Shareable study cards
Share a study streak or a concept map as a beautifully designed card — study progress worth posting.
Prep Mode
Set the date of an exam or presentation and Nuru puts a countdown on Today — with reminders that escalate as it approaches, so you rehearse before it counts.
Intelligence
AI that works for you — and stays private.
On-device generation
Flashcards, questions, and maps are generated right on your iPhone using Apple's on-device models. Nothing leaves the device.
Cloud boost Premium
Opt into cloud AI generation through Nuru's secure proxy for larger, richer results. Routed privately — never used for training.
Morning Brief
A short daily digest of the links and notes you saved recently, so nothing you meant to read gets lost.
Know where your AI runs
A status chip always tells you whether a result was built on-device or in the cloud — no guessing where your words went.
Today
Know exactly what to review today.
Memory Forecast
A 48-hour view of what's about to fade, drawn over your own retention curve — see forgetting before it happens.
Smart suggestions
A stack of “review this next” cards tuned to your schedule, so you always know where to start.
Streaks & momentum
Keep a daily study streak alive and watch your consistency build across every subject.
Explain what's shaky Premium
Tap any concept the forecast flags as fragile and get a clear, AI-written explanation of why it hasn't stuck — and how to lock it in.
One-Thing Mode
When Today feels like too much, One-Thing Mode quiets everything down to the single most important thing to review right now.
Focus
Deep work, built in.
Pomodoro focus timer
Structured focus and break sessions with ambient audio to keep you in flow — and recovery if the app is interrupted.
Live Activity
Follow your session from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no need to reopen the app to check the clock.
Soundscapes & premium themes Pro
Audition ambient soundscapes to settle into flow, and dress your timer in premium focus themes to make the space your own.
Web
Save the web to study later.
Link capture
Save any URL and Nuru pulls the title, image, and a two-to-three sentence AI summary — then you can turn it into study material.
Share from any app
Hit Share in Safari — or any app — tap Nuru, pick a folder, and add a note. The link saves instantly; Nuru fills in the details and summary the next time it opens.
Chrome extension
Save the page you're reading straight into a folder from your browser — works offline and syncs the moment you reconnect.
Everywhere
Your library, on every device.
iPhone, iPad & Mac
A native app on all three — each designed for its screen, with a full Mac menu bar and keyboard shortcuts. Start on your phone, finish on your Mac.
Cloud sync & offline
Everything syncs securely and keeps working offline. Changes reconcile automatically the moment you're back online.
Restores itself
Sign in on a new device and watch your folders, decks, and captures download back into place — and export a full backup whenever you want.
Siri & the Action Button
Say “Capture a note in Nuru” to Siri, or wire it to your Action Button — start a voice capture without ever opening the app.
