Overview

What it is

Gravity is a private, ultra-fast notes app with one stream and a simple rule: bump what matters. Forget folders and tags, just open and type. Instant capture with shortcuts keeps your flow, while older notes naturally drift down. If something is still relevant, hit bump to bring it back to the top. It syncs via iCloud with no accounts, tracking, or subscriptions. Inspired by the Karpathy method, Gravity isn't a complex second brain. It's just your thoughts. Stop organizing and start thinking.

Intent

I need it when

Maintain private, offline note storage without third-party tracking or accounts

Gravity syncs privately via personal iCloud account with no third-party servers, no sign-up required, and no data collection. Users retain full privacy and control over their notes locally.

Find notes quickly across a large personal archive using partial-word search

Gravity includes fast search built on a high-performance local database that catches partial-word matches across thousands of entries, enabling rapid retrieval without manual organization.

Organize notes based on attention and relevance rather than manual systems

The 'bump to top' feature lets users resurface important notes by pressing 'B', making attention the natural organization system. Recent notes stay visible at the top while older ones drift down, mimicking how memory works.

Capture quick ideas and thoughts without friction or organizational overhead

Gravity eliminates barriers to note capture with instant typing, automatic saving, and no folder/tag decisions required. Users open the app and immediately start writing, letting thoughts flow directly to a single continuous stream.

Use lightweight prefixes to quickly categorize and filter notes on the fly

Users can type prefixes like 'todo:' or 'idea:' at the start of any note, which are color-coded and searchable. This creates instant filtered views without complex tagging systems.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs cross-platform synchronization beyond iCloud (app is Mac-only)
  • User requires collaborative note-taking or team sharing features
  • User needs advanced knowledge management with linked notes, tags, or hierarchical organization
  • User requires offline-first sync with third-party services or cloud providers
  • User needs rich media support or complex formatting beyond plain text
