Cross device sync for writers
Pick up exactly where you left off.
Capture scenes and stray lines on your phone and pick the work back up on your laptop, with the same library open in both places.
Notes, attachments, decks, tags, chats and settings all travel
Runs in the background as you write, not on a schedule you manage
Each device still keeps its own local copy, so offline is unaffected
Opt in, so a local only setup stays local
Capture there, finish here
The voice note from the walk home is open on your laptop.
No manual export step
Nothing to email yourself and nothing to copy between machines.
Local first, still
Sync adds a copy in the cloud, it does not take yours away.
More than the text
Attachments, decks, tags, chats and settings travel with the notes.
It runs while you write
No schedule to manage and no button to remember to press.
Off until you turn it on
Sync is opt in, so a local only setup stays exactly that.
Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for writers.
Nothing gets lost between notebooks
Every fragment lands in one library, on the laptop and the phone, and search finds it by what it was about.
Talk the scene out when typing is too slow
Record on a walk and read the transcript back as raw material for the next session.
Ask your own archive what you already said
Check whether a thought is new or something you wrote three years ago, without opening twenty files.
In practice
What that looks like for writers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
First thing in the morning
Open the draft where you left it, with the research notes linked next to it.
Walking around
Record thirty seconds of dialogue on the phone before it evaporates.
Structural edit
Ask for a summary of what each chapter note actually covers and move things around.
