( Overview )

Fieldnote is a calm writing app with AI that helps only when asked. I designed the product and the brand, with a focus on making AI feel like a quiet assistant rather than a co-author.

( The challenge )

( Approach )
  1. 01

    Invisible by default

    AI features live behind a single, predictable shortcut, never in the way of writing.

  2. 02

    Show the working

    Every AI suggestion links back to the notes it came from, so people can trust and verify it.

  3. 03

    A brand with restraint

    A warm, paper-like visual identity that makes the app feel like a notebook, not a dashboard.
