Questions people
actually ask.

In Documents/IKI/Library on your device. Every save is a markdown file with its assets (images, audio, PDFs) sitting next to it. Open the Files app right now and you can watch the folder grow; point Obsidian at it and it just reads.

Nothing. When Pocket shut down on July 8, 2025, users got a three month export window, and then a decade of saves was deleted for good. IKI cannot make you that offer even on its worst day: your library is already plain files on your own hardware, and the app keeps working without us.

It's already exported. The markdown files are the library itself, not a copy of it, so there is no export button because there is nothing to convert. Zip the folder, AirDrop it to a Mac, put it in any backup you trust.

Coming before the public release. We won't ship it until conflict handling is boring, because sync that loses notes is worse than no sync. Until then your library lives on one device, and you can copy the folder anywhere you like.

Apple's Foundation Models, running on the phone itself. Summaries, tags, cards and answers are all computed on device. When your library doesn't cover a question, IKI says "not in your library" instead of improvising.

No. There are no IKI servers holding your content, and no account to attach it to. Saving, reading, search and Ask all work in airplane mode, which is the easiest proof we can offer.

On Pro you can paste your own Anthropic API key. When you ask a question, the request goes straight from your phone to Anthropic under your key, and only then; IKI never proxies it or sees the traffic. You pay Anthropic directly, typically cents per question.

A collection shared with a password is encrypted on your device before it leaves, end to end, so we host bytes we cannot read. You can set an expiry date, and after it the page is gone. Without a password the page is a normal link you can revoke any time.

No. On-device processing never leaves the device, so there is nothing for anyone to train on. If you use your own Claude key, those requests fall under your own API agreement with Anthropic, not under anything of ours.

Yes, fully. Capture, transcription, summaries, search and Ask all run on the device, so a plane or a basement changes nothing. The only things that want a connection are fetching a saved link's content and the optional Claude key.

English, Russian and Portuguese: the interface, voice transcription and screenshot OCR all handle the three. You can mix them freely in one library and search across all of it.

Yes. IKI reads Pocket exports (CSV and HTML), Evernote .enex files and your Safari Reading List. Imports run on the device, with progress shown in the Dynamic Island, and every imported item becomes a normal card and file.

Yes, once you allow photo access. IKI notices new screenshots, pulls the text out with on-device OCR (tables included) and files each one as a card. The four thousand old ones can be brought in too, at your own pace.

Capture a thought at your wrist. Speak, lower your arm, done: the note lands in the library transcribed and dated to the moment you said it. It's the shortest path we know from a passing idea to a file you own.

IKI on iPad has a real sidebar and keyboard shortcuts, and the Pencil gets first-class treatment. Handwritten pages become searchable text, and you can mark up screenshots and PDFs directly. The sketches stay alongside the markdown as ordinary files.

Saved AI workflows that run over your library: "summarize what I saved this week", "pull the action items from my voice notes", that sort of thing. You set one up once and rerun it whenever you want. Free includes three of your choice with unlimited runs; the rest belong to Pro.

One thing: recipes. You pick three, run them as often as you like, and the fourth distinct recipe asks for Pro. Saves, library size, on-device AI, search and Ask are never limited, and we list that promise in full on the pricing page.

Through the App Store: $6.99 a month or $49 a year, managed in your Apple Account like any other subscription. Cancel anytime; Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for, then Free continues with all your files intact.

Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We never see your card, which means we couldn't hold a refund hostage even if we were the type.
