Beyond Thinking Notes

Turn reading into thinking

We highlight, screenshot, and bookmark — then forget. Beyond keeps the quote and asks for your response. No AI writing. Every word is yours.

BEYOND — Capture a quote. Swipe to respond

Insight

“Others' words help you understand the world. Only your own words help you understand yourself.”

Borrowed Voice

Highlights, quotes, and bookmarks — wisdom you've gathered from others.

Your Voice

Reflections, responses, and realizations — meaning that only you can make.

How it works

Capture a quote. Swipe to respond

Point the camera at a page, or save a line by hand. Borrowed words stay on the left. Swipe right and write the response yourself — Beyond will not write it for you.

Daily Cards, widgets, share cards

A Daily Card or a Home Screen widget brings one quote back. Share the card when a line is worth passing on.

Bring your reading in

Import from Kindle, WeRead, or Readwise in one tap. Your reading history becomes the starting point for thinking.

Follow the thread

Swipe left on any entry to open its Entry Graph — a live map of how that idea connects to everything else you've written. Tap any node to explore further.

Download on the App Store

Your words belong to you.

Beyond never reads, analyzes, or uploads anything you write. Notes live on your device and iCloud, exportable anytime, fully under your control. Thinking is private. Your tools should respect that.
