Questions

Android or Windows?
Not planned. RIFT is built using many Apple native technologies.
Can I take my notes with me?
Yes. They can be exported from within the app or from your iCloud Drive folder.
Does it use AI?
RIFT uses Apple Intelligence on your device for voice transcription and making lists, plus optional on-device models from Desert Ant Labs. Your personal data is never sent to any third party or AI in the cloud.
