- Mac, iPhone and iPad. Writing, ink, scanning, Markdown and local AI in one workspace.
- Free browser tools
- PDF to Markdown with originals, PDF to plain text, image OCR, Markdown structure inspection and Markdown export to PDF and HTML. Browser processing, no account. OCR and reading order need review; structure inspection does not confirm attachment-file existence.
- Local AI
- Process selected notes with a supported model on your device. Download models in Settings and review results against the source.
- Your devices
- Mobile Pro for iPhone/iPad, weekly or annually. Mobile + Mac Pro adds Mac; offered weekly or annually on mobile, monthly or annually on Mac. Choose your plan in the app.
- EUR prices
- Mobile Pro: €2.49 weekly / €49.99 annually. Mobile + Mac Pro: €3.49 weekly on mobile; €14.99 monthly on Mac; €144.99 billed annually. The full annual amount is charged. See the App Store for current prices and trial offers.
- Trial
- 7 days for eligible accounts. The store must confirm price, eligibility and the full renewal amount.
- Mobile Free
- Up to 1,000 new notes per local library, no weekly limit; existing notes stay editable. Local Free without an account.
- Pro additions
- Unlimited new notes, selected-note synthesis, additional group reports and device sync. Individual exports, editable backups and complete-group PDFs stay included in the mobile Free tier. AI tasks require supported models.
- Existing subscriptions
- Subscription management is authoritative for current prices, renewals and Apple notices. A plan change does not automatically alter an existing purchase.
- Referral program
- One Pro month per person after an eligible first paid monthly subscription, one rewarded referral per account. Weekly and annual subscriptions and a trial alone do not qualify. Existing earned rewards keep their terms.
Important limitations
- • Recognition can misread rushed handwriting, names, formulas, symbols, and specialist vocabulary.
- • AI summaries can omit or misstate details and should be checked against the source note.
- • Pocket Orbit is not positioned as a professional illustration suite, deep PDF notebook, audio-first transcription app, or database-heavy workspace.
- • Product availability, limits, and prices may change; dated website and regional App Store information should be checked.
