## What is Kotone?

The note from the meeting. The handout from school. The thought you had on the way home.
All scattered—and then hard to find.

Kotone brings everything you say, photograph, or type into one place and turns it into clear, useful notes.
When you need something later, it is ready to find.

■ Capture anything
Record a meeting, photograph a school handout or receipt, or type a passing thought.
Speak, snap, or write—it all becomes one organized note.

■ Organized automatically
AI structures each note into a summary, topics, decisions, and to-dos.
There is no need to replay the whole meeting or reread every handout.

■ Search and find it again
Search titles, to-dos, and even text inside photos.
Answers include their source, so you can open the original note immediately.

■ Add plans to iPhone
Send dated events to Calendar and tasks to Reminders with one tap.
Photograph a school schedule to organize multiple events and the things you need to bring.

■ Keep the original
Even after Kotone organizes a note, recordings remain playable and photos keep their original text.

This version is free and includes 60 minutes of recording and 30 pages of photo recognition per month.
