## What is FutoVoice?

"I just had a good idea." Three minutes later, it's gone.

FutoVoice is a voice memo app that starts recording the instant you open it. There is no record button to hunt for. By the time you're looking at the screen, it is already listening.

THREE STEPS, THAT'S ALL
1. Open the app (it is already listening)
2. Say what you were thinking
3. Tap the big button once

Your words turn into text and stick to the screen like a note. You never touch the keyboard.

WHEN IT HELPS
- An idea shows up on a walk or your commute
- You suddenly remember something you need to buy
- Between chores, or in bed before you fall asleep
- Typing on a phone feels slow or fiddly

PAUSING WON'T CUT YOU OFF
Stop to think mid-sentence and it keeps listening. Take your time, then pick up where you left off. Want to start the thought over? Tap Start over.

EASY TO SEE, EASY TO USE
- Big text, big buttons, nothing else. No manual needed
- Follows your iPhone's text size setting
- Works with VoiceOver
- Misheard a word? Fix it later with the keyboard
- English and Japanese, switched with one button (the language it listens for switches too)

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Buy it once and keep it. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads.

PRIVACY
- Your notes are stored only on your iPhone
- The audio itself is never saved
- No account, no email address required
- The developer runs no server, so your notes cannot reach us
See the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for details. Both are readable inside the app.

WHAT IT IS NOT FOR
This is not a tool for long meeting minutes or for organizing a large archive. It keeps your 100 most recent notes. There are no folders, no search, no export to other apps, and no iCloud sync. It does one small thing: catch a short thought before it gets away.

Requires iPhone (iOS 17 or later). Voice input in English and Japanese.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-07

TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY, FULLY REWRITTEN
Rewritten to match how the app actually works: what is not collected, which permissions are never used (location, camera, photos, contacts and more), and what Apple receives. Both are readable inside the app, even with no connection.

FIXED: LEGAL LINKS PUSHED OFF SCREEN WHEN YOU HAVE NO NOTES
Right after installing, the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy links were pushed below the bottom of the screen. They are now visible without scrolling, including on smaller iPhones.

CLEARER MICROPHONE AND SPEECH RECOGNITION PROMPTS
The permission screens now state plainly that the recorded audio is never saved, and that the transcribed text stays on this device only.

NEW: "RATE THIS APP" BUTTON
Open the App Store review page straight from the home screen. If FutoVoice has been useful, a star rating helps a lot.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-21

Bug fixes for recording:

- Fixed an issue where recording stopped when you paused mid-sentence. You can now think in silence and keep talking.
- Fixed an issue where previously spoken text disappeared when you resumed talking after a pause.
