The Brief

Our digital lives are so dull and lack emotional connection. Find a way to create a connection with a device that is both meaningful and useful. That can be used in everyday life. 

The Insight

People use the notes app every day, whether it's using it to record their shopping list, make meeting notes or create a top 10 artist list. But it's so dull and boring and lacks understanding.

The Output

A Notes App with a deeper understanding. Learning the user over time, it becomes an essential part of your life. Adapting dynamically to you and your interests 

Turning notes into an experience that means more

We use notes every day. To-do lists, meeting notes, new recipes, break-up drafts, reminders, and places to visit. But when we look at the experience, the way the data is presented back to us, it's cold and unrefined. NTE seeks to make notes human again, more meaningful to users and to their community. 

Emotionally personal from the start

On opening the app, it was important to build trust between users, while maintaining an element of understanding. As the app loads, users will see their content surface, making each experience personal and unique to the user.   

Creating a flexable system that adapts to the user 

Combining layout and type to create a notes system that feels more relatable and humanised to each user. Whether it's a voice note, a list of top artists or just some cool trainers, this flexible system allows for all notes to be considered in the structure.

Effortless journey 

From app launch to browsing your notes, NTE is a seamless experience that allows users to effortlessly browse, create and categorise their daily life whilst also supporting them with a deeper understanding. 

A unique experience for unique users  

The app adapts and synergises with the user as they continue to engage with it. No NTE app is the same, as it becomes personally unique to the user. Whether you are a DJ, a writer, a teacher or a musician, the NTE app becomes an individual expression of the user.  

Easily
Glancable 

Users can glance at their phones and see the recently made items, allowing them to see how their NTE app is progressing and any important reminders. This allows for a more seamless relationship between user and app.
