Build a note-taking and writing app
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe a note-taking and writing app with linked notes, transcripts, pitches, draft versions, sources, images, and search, and it builds it.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a fixed note-taking product you sign up for and configure — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: the data, the logic, the screens, and the workflows. You own the result, run it on your own accounts, and change it later by asking for changes. It isn’t a template with your name on it.
On this page, that app is a note-taking and writing app. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why build your own writing system?
Writers often keep notes in one place, transcripts in another, pitches in a spreadsheet, images in folders, and drafts in files with confusing names. Most note apps ask you to adopt their structure.
Kliv builds a writing app around your structure. Notes, transcripts, pitches, drafts, source links, and images become records shaped around your method, and you can change that method later.
What the writing app keeps
A serious writing system needs more than a blank page.
Notes and links
Reading notes, field observations, and ideas can be tagged, dated, and linked to sources and stories.
Transcript shelf
Interview transcripts can be imported as text, tied to the person, date, and piece they support.
Pitch pipeline
Each idea can move through pitched, assigned, filed, paid, or whatever states match your work, with editor and deadline attached.
Versioned drafts
Draft history is kept, so a cut paragraph or earlier version can be found later.
Figure drawer
Whiteboard photos, chart scans, and screenshots can be described and searched, even when the filename is useless.
An example: Amaia’s science-writing desk
Here’s how one writer might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own notes, sources, drafts, and publishing workflow.
An old interview becomes useful again
Amaia sees a new paper that contradicts a reef biologist she interviewed in 2019. The transcript is already linked to related notes.
The pitch carries its sources
She creates a pitch with the angle, editor, deadline, and three sources already on file.
The assignment gathers the material
When the pitch is accepted, the story page brings together linked transcripts, notes, and figures before new reporting starts.
Draft versions preserve the work
As she revises, earlier versions stay available. A cut paragraph is parked instead of lost.
Claims point back to records
Factual claims link to notes or transcripts, so fact-checking starts from the source material instead of a memory search.
The published piece joins the archive
After filing, the piece keeps its source web. Years later, another story can start from the same records.
Describe the writing app you want
Kliv builds from your description, so include the materials you store, the states you track, and the way you search and revise. Here are three examples:
Journalist’s research base
Transcripts, pitches, claims, and drafts.
“Build a writing app for my science journalism. Import interview transcripts as text, link claims to sources, track pitches with editor, deadline, fee, and status from idea to paid, keep versioned drafts, and search across notes, transcripts, drafts, and figure images.”
Academic notes vault
Literature notes with source tracing.
“Build a research notes app for my dissertation. Each paper should have a structured summary, quotes with page numbers, tags by theory and method, links to thesis sections, and a way to trace every argument in a draft back to its sources.”
Serial essayist’s desk
Ideas, drafts, publishing checks, and archive search.
“Build a writing app for my weekly essay. Include an idea backlog, draft versions, a publish checklist, notes by theme, a record of where each essay was published, and an archive searchable by topic and phrase.”
What the blank page stands on
Search spans the archive. Semantic search can run across notes, transcripts, drafts, and images together. The app retrieves; the sentences stay yours.
The structure can change. Add a source-reliability field, split one pitch status into two, or attach payment records to filed stories by asking for the change.
The work stays private. Notes, transcripts, and drafts sit behind your sign-in in your own app.
This is an AI-built app around your work, not an AI replacing the writing. Apps built that way have their own page.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder. You describe your writing system, and it builds a real app for notes, transcripts, pitches, drafts, source links, and search.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Your notes, transcripts, pitches, drafts, and images are structured records built around your method.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can ask for new fields, changed statuses, different draft rules, or new search views later.
Will it write the pieces for me?
No. Kliv’s AI builds and changes the app. Inside the app, search and structure help you retrieve your own material. The writing remains yours.
Can I import what I already have?
Yes. Notes and transcripts can come in as text files and become records you can tag, link, and search.
Is this overkill for one person?
Not if your work needs structure. A one-person tool can still have a real database, sign-in, backups, and search that works.
What happens when my method changes?
You describe the change, and the app can update its fields, states, and screens while keeping existing records.
Can images be searchable too?
Yes. Images such as chart scans and whiteboard photos can be described and searched along with text records.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The app can run on your own domain if you want it there.
Do I need a separate CMS?
No. The app is its own admin for your records, tags, fields, and page text.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull, not a rebuild.
