MeMos: Memos you'll remember

Apple Watch - MeMos is on your wrist. Record a take from the watch, keep it or go again, then add it to a cassette or start a new MeMo. Everything you keep lands on your phone, with a watch symbol on the cassette so you know where it came from. There's a complication, a Smart Stack card, and a Record new MeMo shortcut for Siri and the Action button. iPad - MeMos is universal now, in any orientation. Keyboard shortcuts too: Space plays and pauses, the arrows move 15 seconds, Command with an arrow changes track, Escape closes a MeMo, Command-N records a new one, and Command-R and Command-. start and stop a take. Longer recordings - Cassettes no longer have a length. Each track runs up to ninety minutes, it tells you five minutes before the end, and one tap carries straight on with the next. MeMos you made on five-minute tapes keep everything on them and play exactly as they did. Nothing gets lost - Takes are written in a format that survives a crash, and a take the app was interrupted in the middle of is put back on its MeMo the next time you open it. A take is in your library from the moment you press record. Low battery or storage - Both are watched while you record. When either runs low you're asked whether to carry on; if it gets critical the take is stopped and saved for you, rather than lost, and the screen tells you why it stopped. The screen stays yours - MeMos records only while it's in front of you. Locking the phone or leaving the app stops the take and saves it. A breathing red REC light sits by the MeMo's number, and stopping takes a hold, so it can't happen by accident. Share as a video - Share now makes a video of the cassette playing, reels turning and tape running across, for the whole MeMo or a single track, and it runs as long as the recording does. On iOS 26 it keeps rendering after you leave the app and tells you when it's ready. Split a track - Cut a recorded track in two where it's playing, with the scissors on the transport. The cut lands in the nearest pause so it falls between words, the audio is never re-encoded, and the parts are named and numbered in order. Your own picture on the case - Take one with the camera or pick one from your photos, and put it on the panel or the flap. Printed track names - Print the running order on the case, each track with its running time. Pick the list up and drag it where you want it, size it, print it horizontal or vertical, dark or light, and rename the tracks from the same page. New cassettes - New shells for everything you record and import from here on. iPhone Duo - Playback is a dictaphone. The tape sits in a deck behind a glass door; eject opens the door and lifts it out, and tapping a case on the shelf drops the next one in without leaving playback. Opened out, a speaker stands beside the deck, and the shelf takes its place when the deck is empty. Tracks - Revisit and Add track now sit side by side.
