What is notaru?
Notaru is an AI-native productivity app that organizes your life by turning one line of plain language into structured, filed data. Instead of starting with a blank canvas like Notion, you simply write your day in natural sentences, and Notaru automatically handles the filing, tagging, scheduling, and linking. Each line is routed to the right place—Tasks, People, Events, Projects, or Journal—without you ever needing to choose which bucket it belongs to.
Key features include automatic file routing to five connected spaces, intelligent tagging that detects and reuses people and project names, natural language date/time parsing (like

Frequently asked questions about notaru
Do I need to choose which bucket my entry goes to?
No. You write one plain line and notaru decides whether it's a task, an event, a person, a project, or a journal entry—often several at once—and files it for you.
How does notaru handle dates and times?
It parses natural phrasing like '7 PM today', 'tomorrow', and 'next Thursday' into real dates and times, then attaches them to the right event or task's due date.
Why is there no blank canvas to design?
Instead of a blank canvas you have to design, the structure already exists. The AI does the filing, tagging, scheduling and linking the moment you type—so there's nothing to architect and nothing to maintain.
Is my original text preserved after filing?
Yes. Your original line is always preserved in the Journal—dated and searchable—even after it's been filed into tasks, events and the rest.
What is the pricing plan?
One simple plan: $13.99/month during alpha—the full app, every feature, no tiers. This is the founding rate; the price rises to $19.99 at public launch, but if you join now it stays $13.99 for as long as you're subscribed.
Who is notaru designed for?
Notaru is designed for founders who think in sentences not spreadsheets, makers & PMs whose to-dos die in notes apps, and solo operators who want to write the line and move on without maintaining a system.
What are the five connected spaces?
Notaru organizes your life into Tasks (to-dos with due dates), People (every name becomes a contact), Events (calls and meetings on real calendar), Projects (created or found when mentioned), and Journal (original line kept dated and searchable).
How does tagging work?
People and projects mentioned in the text are detected and tagged—and reused next time you name them, making it easy to connect related entries.
What is the trial period?
There is a 2-day free trial with card required. You can cancel anytime before you're charged, then pay $13.99/month at the founding rate.
Is notaru currently available?
Notaru is pre-launch and in alpha. No customer quotes exist yet, but the app is built to remove the friction of manual sorting, tagging, and scheduling.
