## What is Lode?

Lode is a fast, file-first notebook for people who capture a lot — notes, voice, screenshots, scanned documents, and clippings from other apps. Everything you create is a plain, open file in your own iCloud: Markdown (.md), audio (.m4a), and PDF. No proprietary database, no lock-in.

CAPTURE ANYWHERE
• Write Markdown notes, organized with familiar folders and #tags.
• Record voice memos and turn them into text on-device (offline, private).
• Scan Text (OCR) or Scan Documents straight into a note as a PDF.
• Add photos, videos, sketches, and any file as attachments.
• Share into Lode from Safari, Mail, Files, and more.

PLAY, LOOP & FOCUS
• Play your own audio and music — recordings, lectures, language lessons, podcasts — with background playback and Lock Screen / Control Center controls.
• A-B repeat: loop just one section of a track, perfect for language practice or learning a passage.
• Sleep timer: stop playback after a set time, or when the current track ends.
• Build playlists, shuffle, and repeat. Great for looping a listening set.

YOUR FILES, YOUR RULES
• Notes are real .md files; recordings are real .m4a; scans are real PDFs.
• Export any note to a self-contained HTML, PDF, or TextBundle, or share the raw Markdown.
• Stored in iCloud Drive, so they sync across your devices and survive a reinstall.
• Delete safely: notes go to a recoverable Trash, deleted recordings can be restored, and every save keeps a version history you can revert to.

BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
• On iPad: a desktop-class three-column layout (folders → notes → editor), keyboard shortcuts, multi-window, and drag & drop to and from other apps.
• A live Markdown preview, document outline, and side-by-side diff for comparing files.

WORKS THE WAY YOU THINK
• Tags and wiki-style [[links]] connect your notes.
• A handoff "Inbox" collects everything you capture in one place.
• Open formats mean your notes and audio are ready for any AI tool or editor you like — today and ten years from now.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no login, no ads, no tracking.
• Speech-to-text runs fully on-device. Your data never leaves your device unless you sync it through your own iCloud.

Lode keeps your raw material in your hands, in formats that outlast any single app.
