Description
Keep notes, research sources and attachments together on iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Hikari Scribe combines a research diary with linked timelines, PubMed and OpenAlex search, Zotero integration, bibliographies and citations. Browse journal data from your own SCImago CSV, transcribe audio on-device with Whisper, and capture ideas with the Apple Watch companion. This first beta focuses on personal workflows; multi-user collaboration is planned for later.

Could you build this?
Partial While standard note taking is easy, coordinating multi-platform Apple ecosystems with native Apple Watch audio capture, on-device Whisper transcription, and academic citation citation-graph engines requires specialized native engineering.
What it would actually take: Hikari Scribe requires native Swift/SwiftUI development across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, utilizing CoreData/CloudKit or SwiftData for cross-device synchronization and WatchConnectivity for streaming audio. On-device transcription requires integrating CoreML-quantized Whisper models, while the citation engine requires full parsing and formatting engines for BibTeX, RIS, CSL (Citation Style Language), and REST integration with PubMed and OpenAlex. Deep knowledge of Apple frameworks, on-device ML optimization, and bibliographical data standards is required.
