Boat is an offline-first note taking app built on four core promises: Capture First, Island Mode, Find Focus, and Data Ownership. Stop worrying about organization upfront. Capture everything—notes, photos, videos, voice memos, sketches—then sort it when you have time. Focus on capturing ideas when they happen, not organizing them.
Capture in seconds, organize later. Boat's quick capture button creates new notes instantly with no organizational friction. Save everything to your Dock (inbox) and sort it when you have time. Whether you're typing ideas, snapping receipts, recording voice memos, or sketching diagrams, Boat captures it all without making you choose categories or projects upfront. No guilt, no friction—just capture.
Works everywhere, even offline. Boat functions completely offline as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Take notes on the subway, on a plane, or in remote locations with no wifi or cell service. Install on your phone, tablet, or desktop home screen and access your notes anytime, anywhere. Island Mode means your notes are always available, syncing to Google Sheets when you reconnect—never blocking your workflow on network availability.
Get help organizing your thoughts. Boat's Dive feature analyzes your notes and makes smart suggestions: Nets (which notes belong together in projects), Flags (Float for urgent, Tethered for important, Anchored for reference), Hooks (connections between related notes), Titles (for untitled captures), and Merge (duplicate detection). Dive surfaces insights: recurring goal patterns, focus areas, progress indicators, and actionable next steps. You stay in control—Dive makes suggestions, you approve or dismiss. No automatic changes, no surprises.
Your data stays in your Google account. Notes sync to Google Sheets for backup, bulk editing, and data portability. No vendor lock-in—export your entire knowledge base anytime. All media (photos, videos, audio) uploads to your Google Drive. Boat never owns your data; you do. Delete your Google connection and your data stays with you, not us.
Capture more than just text. Add photos with AI captions, record voice notes with transcription, sketch ideas with drawings, and attach links with previews. All media works offline and syncs automatically when you reconnect.
Field researchers, journalists, students, project managers, travelers, and anyone who needs to capture ideas on the go. Boat adapts to your workflow whether you're conducting interviews, documenting travel, managing projects, or building a personal knowledge base.
Sign up with your Google account and start capturing notes immediately. Free tier includes generous AI credits. Works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux.
