Joria – a native Mac notes app for instant capture and semantic recall

Instant-launch capture bound to a keystroke and local-first storage are the app's best ideas — you can jot something down without breaking flow and then query your notes by meaning. The 'chat with your notes' and use-your-own-AI angle is sensible for privacy-minded users, but the pitch leaves open how sync, model routing, or integrations actually work, and the space already has stiff competition.
