## What is ADVCT?

ADVCT helps you capture the conversations that matter most — with a doctor, a lawyer, a banker — and turn them into a clear, plain-language summary you and your family can actually use.

You press one big button to record. ADVCT writes down what was said, then gives you a short summary, the key points, and a to-do list of the follow-ups — who needs to do what, and by when. No typing. No setup. No account.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Recording, transcription, and summaries all happen on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence— no account, no setup. Your audio stays on your device. Your transcripts and summaries are kept in your own private iCloud, synced across your devices and visible only to you — never on a server we operate. Nothing is uploaded to us, and we never see your conversations. The privacy label is simple: Data Not Collected.

ONE BUTTON TO RECORD
Open the app and tap the big red button. ADVCT keeps recording even if a call comes in or the screen locks, so you can set the phone down and focus on the conversation. Tap Stop when you're done — that's the whole job.

CLEAR SUMMARIES, NOT JUST A WALL OF TEXT
A few seconds after you stop, you get three things:
• Summary — a short, plain-language recap and the key points
• Transcript — the full written version of what was said
• Audio — play the recording back any time

A SHARED TO-DO LIST FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Every recording surfaces its follow-ups automatically — "Schedule the MRI," "Pick up the prescription," "Call the office Monday" — with dates and a suggestion of who should handle each one. Family members can claim an item with one tap so everyone knows it's covered, and send it straight to their own Calendar or Reminders. No more tasks lost in a group text.

SHARING IS A CHOICE, NEVER A DEFAULT
Keep a conversation completely private, or share the summary and transcript by Messages, Mail, or AirDrop. (Audio always stays on your device — it's never shared.) The people you share with don't need the app to read it. You stay in control of what's shared and with whom, and you can stop sharing at any time.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
• Large text and buttons, full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support
• Works offline — record and transcribe with no signal
• Nothing is ever lost: recordings are saved as you go, so a dead battery or a dropped call won't cost you the appointment
• Audio is removed automatically after 90 days to save space (your summary and transcript are always kept) — and you can change this any time, or keep any recording forever

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who walks out of an appointment trying to remember half of what was said — and the families who help them. Built first for aging parents and the adult children coordinating their care, but useful for anyone juggling important medical, legal, or financial conversations.

A NOTE ON DEVICES
Plain-language summaries and the action list use Apple Intelligence, available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer. Every supported iPhone (running iOS 18+) records, transcribes, and summarizes on-device; iPhone 15 Pro and newer add richer Apple Intelligence summaries. .

ADVCT doesn't replace your memory of a conversation — it makes sure your whole family can stand behind you in the room, even when they can't be there.
