## What is carry.less?

Some days your head holds too many thoughts and ideas at once. carry.less gives them somewhere else to go.

Speak or type a dump of your thoughts, and carry.less sorts each one onto a shelf: tasks, ideas, worries, projects, and things to think about later. You check the sort before anything is trusted. Nothing is filed behind your back.

Now shows you one thing to focus on. Everything else stays shelved, safely out of the way, ready when you need it.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
carry.less is a subscription app with two plans, both starting with a 3-day free trial:

- Base, $4.99 a month: up to 20 AI-sorted dumps a day
- Max, $19.99 a month: up to 200 AI-sorted dumps a day, for heavy use

Both plans include unlimited thought capture and typing, on-device sorting, reminders, and daily automatic local backups. Once you use your AI sorts for the day, sorting keeps working on your phone until the count resets the next day.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no account. Your thoughts are stored on your phone, not on our servers. The text of a dump only leaves your device when AI sorting runs, to suggest how to sort it, and it is not stored afterward. Backups are files on your phone too, written once a day, never uploaded.

REMINDERS, ON YOUR TERMS
Set a gentle reminder for anything that needs doing. carry.less never nags: reminders are optional, and you choose the time. After a dump, carry.less suggests reminder times and gives you a heads up before deadlines, and you can adjust any suggested time.

FINISHED, NOT GONE
Tick a thought off the Now card when it is done, or cross it out, and the next one steps up on its own. Everything you finish goes to the Archive, with one tap to restore and optional auto clearing. Settings let you choose how much warning you get and what counts as now.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS
carry.less is a thought filter, not therapy, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, ADHD treatment, or crisis support. When it isn't sure how to sort something, it says so and asks you.

Try it free for 3 days. After that, Base or Max keeps it going, cancelled any time in your App Store settings.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-07

carry.less now comes with you in the car, on your Home Screen and on your lock screen.

- CarPlay: say a thought out loud while you drive, hear what's next, and mark things done, all hands-free
- Siri: say "Dump a thought in carry.less" to save a thought without opening the app
- Action button: hold it and start talking, no unlock needed
- Widgets: the one thing to focus on now, and your shelves at a glance
- Folders inside shelves, if you want them (switch them on in More)
- 3 sorts on us before your free trial starts
- If your words aren't caught, the recording is kept so nothing gets lost
- Allow reminders and voice from the More screen with one tap

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-28

Ticking things off is here. Mark the thought in front of you done, or cross it out, and the next one steps up on its own.

- Tick and cross buttons on the Now card
- carry.less now suggests reminder times after a dump, with a heads up before deadlines, and you can change any suggested time on the spot
- New Archive in More: everything you finish is kept, with one tap to put it back, and optional auto clearing
- New settings for how much warning you get and what counts as now
- All shelves are visible from the start, so you can see where thoughts will go
- Clearer first run copy and an updated app guide

Also fixed:
- Reminders now arrive before a deadline instead of at it
- The focus card clears and moves to the next thought when you finish something
- Cleared thoughts are no longer gone: they are kept in the new Archive and can be restored
- Suggested reminder times can be adjusted before you accept them

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-19

This update smooths out early rough edges:
- The intro screens now scroll properly, including with larger text sizes.
- A Notifications row in More shows whether reminders can reach you.
- Reminders check notification permission when you set them, so none go missing silently.
- Your plan in More now shows when a cancelled subscription ends.
- Clearer dictation permission wording.
- Better VoiceOver support and larger text handling throughout.
