Notes on the web and on Mac · Offline first
Your mind,
at peace.
WyzeMind turns every idea into an object you can link. Write with @, and your notes connect on their own: backlinks, a graph, and an optional AI that tidies up and reads your images.
Real screen recordings of the app on a Mac, with sample data.
01Link
Link everything as you write.
Type @ or [[ and pick a person, a project or an idea, or create one on the fly. Every object has a type: Person, Book, Project, Idea, Meeting, Web link, Page, or one you define, with its own properties.
02Backlinks
Every mention links back.
Each object lists the notes that mention it, with the sentence where they do. Unlinked mentions finds the places where you wrote a name without linking it, and links them in a click.
03Graph
See your ideas connect.
Each note shows its neighbourhood, and a graph draws the whole web of objects. Filter it by type and click a node to open it.
04AI, optional
Write messy. Let AI tidy up.
Polish fixes spelling and unclear sentences. Structure adds headings, lists and checklists. It works on a selection or on the whole note, and one undo brings the original back. If the answer drops a link or an image, it is rejected.
Off until you set it up. You use your own OpenRouter or Anthropic key, or Claude Code on your Mac, and pay the provider directly.
05Images
Turn images into text.
Select a photo of a whiteboard, a receipt or a screenshot and choose Extract text. The text is added under the image, exactly as written. You can also ask for a description, or ask a question about the image.
Uses the same optional assistant. The image is sent to your provider only when you click.

Private by design.
On your Mac
Your notes live in a folder on your Mac, one file per object, and sync through your own iCloud. There is no account with us, and we cannot read your notes.
Offline first
Everything works without a network. Only iCloud sync, web link titles and the optional assistant go online.
Safe by default
Every save is atomic. A backup is made each day and kept for 14 days, plus a safety backup before any permanent deletion.
Yours to take
Export everything to Markdown, with your links and your properties. Your notes never depend on us.
And everything else
Daily note
Today’s page, one shortcut away, with a week strip of the days you wrote.
Block editor
Headings, lists, checklists, quotes and code. Type / for blocks.
Images in notes
Paste or drop an image, resize it, align it, open it in Preview.
Typed properties
Text, number, date, choice, checkbox, link, rating, relations and tags.
Collections
Every object of a type as cards or as a table, with filters and sorting.
Command palette
Search titles and text, run commands and create objects from the keyboard.
Web bookmarks
Paste an address, and WyzeMind reads the page title and site.
Light, dark, two languages
Light or dark, your accent colour, in English and French.
Web version · Available now

The web version is the same app, on iPhone, iPad or any computer, with nothing to install. Sign in with Apple once, and your notes, types and images sync with your Mac through your own iCloud, never through our servers. Add it to your Home Screen and it opens full screen, even offline.
On iPhone, in Safari: Share > Add to Home Screen. Native iPhone and iPad apps are coming soon.
Questions
What is WyzeMind?
WyzeMind is a note-taking app for macOS where every idea is a typed object that you link to others. It has backlinks, a connection graph, a daily note, a command palette and iCloud sync. A web version runs on iPhone and iPad. It is free for a limited time.
Where are my notes stored?
In a vault folder inside the app’s data folder on your Mac, with one JSON file per object. You can open it from the File menu with Show Vault in Finder. If you turn on sync, a copy also goes to your own iCloud private database. There is no account with us.
How do I sync between my Mac and my iPhone?
In WyzeMind on your Mac, open Settings > iCloud sync and click Sign in with Apple. Then open wyzemind.labwyze.com in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same Apple account. Your notes sync within a few seconds of a change, when you come back to the app, and every 5 minutes. Your assistant keys are not synced: enter them on each device.
Is anything sent over the internet?
In four cases. When you save a web link, WyzeMind fetches that page to read its title and site name. If you turn on iCloud sync, your notes go to your own iCloud private database, which we cannot read. If you use the optional writing assistant, the text or image you ask about is sent to the provider you chose (OpenRouter, Anthropic or Claude Code), only when you click. And every 6 hours the Mac app reads a small public file to see whether a newer version exists, without sending any data. Nothing else uses the network.
What happens if my Mac loses power while I write?
Files are written to a temporary file first and then renamed, so a power cut does not leave a half-written file. An unreadable file is set aside in a corrupt folder and never deleted.
Are there backups?
Yes. WyzeMind makes one automatic backup per day and keeps the last 14. It also makes a safety backup before a permanent deletion or a restore, and keeps the last 10.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. A full export to Markdown keeps the [[links]] and writes the properties as a YAML header.
How does the writing assistant work, and what does it cost?
It is optional and off until you set it up in Settings > Assistant. You choose an engine: OpenRouter, the Anthropic API, or Claude Code if it is installed and signed in on your Mac. For OpenRouter and Anthropic you bring your own API key and pay that provider for what you use; WyzeMind does not charge for it and does not include any credit. Claude Code uses your own Claude plan. Keys are encrypted by macOS and stored outside your vault, so they are never saved in a backup or an export. A Claude subscription token (sk-ant-oat…) is refused, because Anthropic does not allow it in a third-party app. Reading images works with OpenRouter and the Anthropic API, not with Claude Code.
Is my text kept by the AI provider?
WyzeMind sends the text only when you click, and asks OpenRouter to use only providers that do not keep data for training (data_collection: deny). What each provider does with your text is governed by that provider’s own policy, which we cannot check for you. If you do not want any text to leave your Mac, do not set up the assistant.
Can the assistant damage my notes?
It replaces the text directly, so check the result. ⌘Z brings the original back. If the answer drops an @ link or an image, WyzeMind rejects it and changes nothing.
Is it a replacement for Obsidian or Notion?
No. It is a smaller app, with no collaboration and no plugins. Its notes are not stored as Markdown files in the vault, but you can export them to Markdown.
Which Macs does it run on?
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later). The app is not available for Intel Macs, but the web version runs in a recent browser.
How do I open the app the first time?
WyzeMind is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple. The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you want to open an app downloaded from the internet: click Open. If you still see a warning, open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
