Zeitnote
Meaning-based notes — in Telegram and on the web
Capture thoughts in chat or on the website — then find them even when you forget the exact words. The bot, the web app, and the app on your phone all look at the same notes.
Why Zeitnote
Ordinary search matches words. Zeitnote matches meaning — handy for ideas, lists, links, and work notes you jot down on the go.
-
Capture in chat, organize wherever you are
Quickly save text, voice, a photo, or a forward in the bot — then browse, search, and edit wherever it suits you right now: the Mini App, the website, or the app on your phone. Same notes everywhere.
-
An account that isn’t tied to Telegram
Sign up with an email on the website, no bot required. Already using the bot? Link Telegram and your chat notes show up there too.
-
Search without exact wording
Ask “what to buy for dinner” — the bot can find your grocery note even if the wording differs.
-
Order without manual sorting
Categories are suggested automatically, and the bot can propose new groups from similar notes for you to confirm.
Features
A short look at what you can do every day.
-
chat
Add notes
Text, voice, a photo, or a forward in one message — the bot keeps Telegram formatting and prepares the note for smart search. Instead of replying “saved”, it reacts with ✍ on your own message, so the chat stays a feed of your notes.
-
web
The zeitnote.app website
A full web app with its own sign-in: email and password, or Telegram. List, editor with autosave, search on Ctrl+K, categories, trash, and settings — no Telegram needed on a work laptop.
-
phone
App on your phone
Install the website to your home screen like a regular app — own icon, no address bar. Notes live on the device: on the subway or a plane you can still open and edit them, and changes sync as soon as you are back online.
-
Mini App
App inside Telegram
“My notes” button: browse, search, categories, trash, and settings — without long chat flows.
-
search
Semantic search
Finds by meaning, not exact match. For URLs it pulls the page title so search hits the idea, not just the address.
-
ask
Answers from your own notes
Ask a question in plain words — Zeitnote builds an answer from your notes and shows which ones it used. When the answer implies an action, it offers one and only acts once you confirm. Available in the bot and the Mini App.
-
photos
Photos and files in a note
A Telegram album is saved as one note instead of falling apart into a dozen. On the web photos line up in a grid, an image can be pasted right where the cursor is and dragged elsewhere, and documents and videos collect into a list under the note.
-
link
Share a note
The “Share” button hands you an address like
zeitnote.app/s/trip-packing-list— anyone can read the note there, with no account and no sign-in. The ending is yours to pick. Access is revoked in one click, and these pages stay out of search engines. -
categories
Categories & auto-labeling
System sections plus your own: create, edit, delete. On save the bot suggests a category or new groups of similar notes. Auto-assignment and its confidence threshold are configurable.
-
trash
Trash & review
Deleted by mistake — restore it. “Review” surfaces duplicates and stale notes; you always decide.
-
voice
Voice notes
Send a voice message — the bot transcribes it, saves the note, and makes it available via search and Inline.
-
inline
Inline mode
In any chat type @bot: recent notes with an empty query, or search by meaning — paste text, voice, or a photo into the conversation. A note with a picture goes out as the picture itself, not a link to it.
-
saved
Import from Saved Messages
Link your Telegram account and move text messages from Saved Messages into Zeitnote in one action.
-
edits
Edits & forwards
Edit a message in the bot chat — the note updates. Forward someone else’s message — it is saved as a new note, and its text stays an untouched quote.
-
clean chat
No service-message clutter
The bot clears its own command replies and hints after a delay you set. What stays in the chat is the thing you came for: your notes.
-
RU / EN
Two languages
Bot and Mini App UI in Russian and English; pick the language in settings.
