BeFree turns what you say into tasks, calendar events, reminders, grocery items, and notes. Speak or type whatever's on your mind, and BeFree quietly sorts it into the right place — so you don't have to. Drop it. Keep it. Bring it back. Most planners give you back one thing: a day plan. BeFree gives back five. A grocery item lands on your grocery list. A meeting with a clock time becomes a calendar event. A nag with a deadline becomes a reminder. A thought you want to keep becomes a note. You speak in any order; BeFree sorts. Built for people who think out loud and get stuck on the sorting: • Speak in any order. Mix groceries, follow-ups, kid pick-ups, and meeting prep — BeFree parses each piece and routes it to the right place. • Calm by default. No streaks, no badges, no reminders to "engage". One mic. One sheet. Drop the noise, walk away. • Speak from anywhere. Capture from the lock screen, the home screen widget, or "Hey Siri, BeFree…" — without unlocking your phone. • Offline-first. Your dumps land on-device immediately and sync when you're back online. • Honest privacy. Voice is transcribed by Apple's speech recognition and BeFree never stores your audio. We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. What it captures: • Tasks with priorities, projects, and due dates • Calendar events with the date and time you said • Time-based reminders, including recurring schedules • Grocery items, sorted by aisle • Notes — kept thoughts, organised by folder What it doesn't do: • It doesn't try to be your accountability coach. • It doesn't ping you with motivational nudges. • It doesn't try to replace your calendar — it feeds it. Voice + privacy: • Apple speech recognition. BeFree never stores your audio. • Apple Sign-In, Google, or email. • Encrypted in transit. Per-account database isolation on every table. • Full export. Account deletion in one tap. If you've ever wanted a place to drop the noise and walk out lighter, that's the room we built.

One Siri command. Say "Hey Siri, talk to BeFree" and BeFree asks what's on your mind — then any sentence works, however you phrase it. It files without opening the app. Prefer something shorter? You can now train your iPhone so saying only "BeFree" starts the same capture. Every card, redrawn. Prompts and Shelf cards lead with a clear symbol, say what they're asking, and offer one obvious thing to do instead of a row of competing buttons. Messages that explain themselves. When something can't be saved, BeFree now tells you why rather than just that it failed — and you can tap a message away instead of waiting for it. Better with VoiceOver. Undo stays reachable, and explanations are read aloud. Also in this release: clearer note typefaces, calmer lists that scroll properly to the end, and a lot of small corrections across every screen. The Focus room and timed routines are away for this release while we rebuild them properly. They'll return with settings of their own. ### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-01 You talk. BeFree sorts it — tasks, reminders, calendar events, lists and notes. • It remembers the conversation — say "remind me about that one too" and BeFree knows what you meant, instead of asking again. In every language, not just English. • Voice doesn't cut you off mid-thought — pause to think and BeFree keeps listening, then files the whole sentence instead of the first half of it. • A new first run — watch the app work before you sign up, and the first thing you type is already filed when you walk in. • A day view — the calendar now has an hour-by-hour Day mode. Anything without a set time sits in its own row at the top, so nothing hides. • Siri and the Action Button just work — they no longer ask you to open the app first, and you can map the Action Button to voice OR typing. • Choose what syncs — pick exactly which Apple calendars and reminder lists come in, instead of all of them. • Connecting Apple Calendar or Reminders now works on the first tap, instead of switching itself back off and making you do it twice. • A quieter Shelf — things you've filed stop coming back forever, and "Off" is a real choice again. • Easier to read — stronger contrast and consistent type across every screen. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-15 • More reliable capture — if a thought can't be sorted right away (a spotty connection, for example), BeFree now saves it and sorts it automatically once you're back online. • Sign-in reliability improvements. • The app is now available in German, Spanish, French, and Japanese. • Polish and bug fixes throughout. ### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-14 A faster, calmer first run. • Onboarding is down to two quick steps, so you reach your first brain-dump in seconds. • The capture screen shows a live waveform that moves with your voice. • The mic is more patient — it waits for you to finish before it stops listening. • Smarter, quicker sorting behind the scenes. Plus small refinements throughout. ### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-11 Capture is safer and more dependable.\n\n• Your thought is preserved if AI sorting or sync fails.\n• Closing capture no longer cancels a thought already being saved.\n• Siri, widgets, and sign-in handoffs recover more reliably.\n• Clearer feedback when something cannot be sorted immediately.\n\nPlus stability fixes for widgets and offline sync. ## Related topics [quicklook multitasking](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/quicklook-multitasking) · [befreed](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/befreed) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
