Cross-platform notes app
Xale on every device: your thoughts, on every screen you own
Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and e-ink tablets: install Xale from the browser, keep a quick note or a whole mind map, and pick up where you left off on the next screen.
What you can do with Xale on every device
- One place, every screen. Keep a quick thought on your phone and a whole mind map on your laptop, and find both wherever you open Xale next.
- Install it from the browser. No app store needed:
- iPhone and iPad: in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android phones and tablets: in Chrome, choose Install app.
- Mac: in Safari, choose File, then Add to Dock, or use the install icon in Chrome or Edge.
- Windows and Linux: use the install icon in Chrome or Edge.
- Xale then opens in its own window, like any other app.
- Picks up where you left off. Your notes, maps, tasks and plans sync to your account, so the next screen shows where you left off.
- Share straight in on Android. Once Xale is installed, it appears in the share menu, so a link, a photo or a file can go straight to Captures. Captures is part of Xale Pro.
Why I wanted my thoughts on every device I use
My thoughts don't wait for me to be at my desk. Some arrive on my phone, some on my laptop, and some on my e-ink tablet at night.
I wanted one place to keep all of them, simple or complex, on whichever screen was closest. A separate native app for every device couldn't be the first step, so Xale became a web app you can install anywhere.

The ideas behind Xale on every device
Catch the thought where it arrives
A thought is easiest to keep in the moment it shows up, on whatever is in your hand.
- Worth reading: David Allen, Getting Things Done (2001). Everything you want to remember goes into a trusted place, so your mind can stop holding on to it.
- The usual way: notes on the phone, plans on the laptop, and nothing where you need it.
- In this release: the same Xale on every screen you own.
The best tools fade into the background
A tool you have to go looking for is a tool you stop using.
- Worth reading: Mark Weiser, "The Computer for the 21st Century", Scientific American (1991). The most profound technologies weave themselves into everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.
- In this release: install Xale once on each device, and it opens like any other app.
