A NOTE FROM THE PERSON WHO MADE IT

I kept losing
the good part.

I’m Brandon. I built MessyNote because a few words in a notes app never captured what I meant.

A conversation helped. So I made somewhere to have one.

Here’s what I mean. A 90-second look at MessyNote.Prefer to click through?

Start with whatever’s
in your head.

Talk or type the rough version. MessyNote asks questions to help you work out what you mean. You choose when it becomes a note.

Try this example. No account, microphone, or typing needed.

IT CAN BEGIN THIS SMALL

A supper club.
Or something like it.

I keep thinking I should start a supper club. I like cooking for friends, but hosting a whole evening turns into work.
An unfinished thought is enough.

Fictional scenario. Actual MessyNote replies and finished note.
Nothing here is sent or saved.

You set the pace.

THE ACTUAL APP

A note that still
makes sense tomorrow.

Choose “Make this a note” when you’re ready. Edit the result, keep the conversation alongside it, and pick the idea back up later.

A place to work
an idea out.

For your own thoughts, writing, and plans.
Small enough to just start.

Say it out loud.

Talk through an idea and hear a question back. Hold to talk or go hands-free.

Voice is in beta. Everyday includes 15 live voice minutes and Power includes 60 per paid billing period. Starter does not include live voice. Microphone permission required; browser support varies.

Leave it unfinished.

Your conversation stays in your account. Come back when you have more to say, even from another device.

Keep what matters.

Edit your notes, put them in folders, or download them. Your original conversation is still there when you need the context.

WHY THIS EXISTS

I wanted to come back
to an idea. Not a mystery.

I have ADHD. I’d get excited about something, leave a few words in a note, and lose the thread. Talking it through helped me find the part that mattered.

I used this approach myself for months before making MessyNote public. Now I’m building the place I wanted to come back to.

Try Power free

The free trial is the same for every plan. Selecting a plan does not start a payment.

Every plan includes the whole thinking space. Conversations, editable notes, folders, syncing, and downloads. Your existing notes stay available after a membership ends.

Allowances above are per paid billing period and do not roll over. One AI reply or generated note uses one response. Quick Capture turns a recording into text; live voice is a back-and-forth conversation. They have separate minute allowances. Quick Capture currently requires the Android preview; there is no public app-store release yet.

Your trial: 50 responses, five live voice minutes, and five Quick Capture transcription minutes total, for seven days. No card or automatic charge. Browser dictation remains available where supported.

Already a founder? Your existing $12 or $13 subscription keeps its price, 500 responses, 30 live voice minutes, and 30 Quick Capture transcription minutes while that subscription stays active. Nothing changes automatically.

Paid membership starts after confirmed payment and renews monthly until canceled. The amount and applicable tax are shown before payment. No automatic overage charges. Need to change an existing plan? Ask us first; starting a second subscription is not required.

A FEW PRACTICAL THINGS

Fair questions.

Ask me something
How does the free trial work?

Create and verify your account, then start your seven-day trial in Account. You get 50 responses and five voice minutes total, without a card or automatic charge. At the end, choose Starter for $5, Everyday for $9, or Power for $19 USD per month. Payment is optional and starts only if you choose to subscribe. Your saved notes remain accessible even if you choose not to subscribe.

Does it write the note as we talk?

The conversation is a place to explore. You decide when to choose “Make this a note.” Then MessyNote brings the conversation together into an editable note. Your original conversation stays with it.

How do the paid plans work?

Starter is $5 USD per month for 50 AI responses and no live voice. Everyday is $9 for 250 responses and 15 live voice minutes. Power is $19 for 750 responses and 60 live voice minutes. Payment is charged at checkout, then monthly until canceled. Your plan starts after confirmed payment.

Every plan includes conversations, editable notes, folders, syncing, and downloads. Existing $12 and $13 founders keep their current price, 500 responses and 30 live voice minutes. No plan changes happen automatically.

Can I talk instead of typing?

Voice beta lets you talk an idea through and hear replies aloud. Choose “Talk it through” in the app and allow microphone access. Everyday includes 15 live voice minutes and Power includes 60 per paid billing period. Starter does not include live voice. Calls are up to 15 minutes, with up to six starts a day, subject to remaining time. Connected time includes pauses. There are no automatic voice overage charges.

Voice support varies by browser and device, and beta service may be interrupted. You can keep typing if voice is unavailable. End the voice conversation, then choose “Make this a note” when you’re ready.

What is an AI response?

One typed conversational reply or one generated note draft. Automatic folder organization and technical retries don’t use your response allowance. Starter includes 50, Everyday 250, and Power 750 per paid billing period. There are no automatic overage charges.

Can I close it and come back?

Yes. Your saved conversations and notes belong to your account. Sign in with the same account to return to your library, including from another device.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancellation stops the next renewal and paid access lasts through your current paid period. Existing notes remain available to read, edit, and download. The founding rate is kept while the same subscription stays active. Recovering a temporary failed payment on that subscription keeps its rate. Starting a new membership after it ends uses the then-current offer.

How are my words handled?

Your library is tied to your account. Relevant text is sent to OpenAI when you request AI help; voice beta also sends your microphone audio while connected. MessyNote uses Cloudflare for the app and storage, Supabase for sign-in, and Stripe for payments. You can download your library or delete your account. Read our privacy policy for the details.
