## What is Ecoa?

Everything you say, kept to yourself.

Ecoa is a voice-first second brain that never sends a single byte anywhere. Tap record and watch your words appear as you speak. When you stop, Ecoa titles the note, summarises it, files it into a category, and turns every commitment you made — "call John tomorrow at 9" — into a task with a real reminder.

All of it happens on your iPhone. Ecoa contains no networking code at all. Turn on Airplane Mode: nothing changes.

CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION
• Live on-device transcription in 40+ languages — English, Português, Español, Deutsch, Français, 日本語 and more
• Start from the Action Button, Control Center, Lock Screen, or Siri
• Keeps recording with the screen locked; the Dynamic Island shows the take
• Share any audio file — a voice note, a memo — straight into Ecoa for a full transcript and summary

UNDERSTANDING, NOT JUST TRANSCRIPTS
• On-device Apple Intelligence writes titles, summaries and key points
• Auto-categorisation into categories you control — or let Ecoa create new ones
• Spoken commitments become tasks with due dates and notifications
• Ask your echo: question your own notes and get an answer with sources, fully offline
• Weekly reflection: a short, private portrait of your week's themes

A JOURNAL THAT STAYS YOURS
• Optional Journal mode with a gentle daily prompt
• One-swipe mood check-ins and wellbeing trends over time
• Descriptive, never diagnostic — your words, reflected back

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
• No account. No analytics. No servers. No subscription.
• Encrypted, passphrase-sealed backups to a folder you choose
• Export everything as Markdown + audio, any time
• A Privacy Receipt in Settings shows exactly what Ecoa can and cannot see

One price. Yours forever. That's the point.

Requires iOS 26. Apple Intelligence features require a supported iPhone; on other devices Ecoa uses its built-in analysis instead.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-07-14

Ecoa 1.3 — your thoughts, mapped.

• The Mind Map — a living map of your notes that surfaces the themes, bridges, and hidden connections across everything you've captured, computed entirely on your device.
• Tasks on the Map, and a new Home Screen widget showing what's on your mind at a glance.
• Two-way sync with Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar (opt-in) — commitments you speak now flow to the tools you already use.
• Siri — "Add to my mind" captures a thought hands-free; "What's on my mind" reads back your top insight.
• A weekly reflection on how your thinking moved, plus smarter, feedback-aware insights.
• Encrypted backups now sync securely across your devices via iCloud Keychain.

Everything stays private and on your device. No accounts, no servers.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-10
