Tidy up your
Apple Notes.

Notesweep analyzes, organizes and cleans up — fully automatic, entirely on your Mac.

Entirely on your Mac

All analysis runs locally using Apple's NaturalLanguage framework. Nothing is ever sent anywhere.

No cloud, no accounts

No login, no sign-up, no servers. The app works completely offline.

Your data stays your data

No telemetry, no tracking, no analytics. What happens on your Mac, stays on your Mac.

Analysis

Understands your notes like you do.

Notesweep uses Apple's NLP engine to understand your notes by content — not just keywords. It detects duplicates, junk, sensitive data and thematic connections.

  • Semantic duplicate detection via sentence embeddings
  • Junk notes: empty, short and placeholder entries
  • Credential scan: API keys, passwords, IBANs
  • Multi-topic detection with automatic split suggestions
Organization

Folder suggestions that make sense.

Notesweep groups your notes by topic and suggests a clean folder structure. Three detail levels — from a few broad folders to fine-grained subfolders.

  • 10 smart categories: Projects, Finance, Tech, Music ...
  • Dynamic subfolders from detected topics
  • Coarse, medium or detailed — you choose the depth

Control

Nothing happens without your approval.

Every suggested action — whether delete, move or rename — must be reviewed and approved by you. With risk assessment and explanation for each individual action.

  • Risk labels: Safe, Moderate, Risky, Critical
  • Reasoning and confidence scores for every suggestion
  • Guided workflow: step by step through all categories
  • Permanently ignore notes — never suggested again
Safety

Go back to square one anytime.

Before every execution, Notesweep automatically creates a snapshot. If something doesn't feel right, restore the previous state with a single click.

  • Automatic snapshots before every change
  • Full restore: folders and notes
  • JSON export for external backups
  • Secure data deletion when cleaning up snapshots
