What's New in Omphalis

Your notebooks, on your phone Your notebooks are on your phone now. Read every cell, write and format text, tick off checklists, and pick up where you left off on the web. Add an annotation or a passage to a notebook while you read, or start notes on anything in your Library. Writing in two places at once? Omphalis tells you when a notebook changed somewhere else and lets you keep your version or load the latest, so nothing is overwritten quietly. Voice notes Record a voice note straight into a notebook, from the notebook or from the Library. Recordings stay safe on your phone until they upload, even with no connection. Transcribe a voice note when you want its words beside the audio. Ask about what you read Ask about what you're reading. Every answer points back to the passages it comes from, and a tap takes you there. Select a sentence, or a stretch of a podcast transcript, and ask about just that. Ask across your whole Library from the Library tab. Scan pages Scan pages from a handout or a book, or choose photos, and keep them as text you can read, mark and ask about. The pages are read on your phone; nothing is sent until you save. A photo or screenshot of a page shared to Omphalis now arrives as text, and photos from your camera roll no longer land as "Unsupported format". Capture what you hear Highlight now: tap once while a podcast plays to keep the passage you just heard, without pausing. It works offline and syncs when you are back. Save highlights with your headphones: turn it on in Settings, Listening, then press previous track on your AirPods or headset. See who is speaking in podcast transcripts, with a short card for each known guest. More ways into your Library Share a Kindle notebook export from the Kindle app, and Omphalis brings in that book's highlights and tells you how many are new. If your account has a Library email address, Settings shows it, ready to copy or share. Anything you email or forward to it lands in your Library. A long document or a held item now says why its text is not here yet, and can read the pages your units cover. Filter your Library by voice notes, notebooks, highlights and save depth, and your Inbox by save depth. New here? Go straight in, or answer a few questions and get help picking your first piece. Stay signed in while you listen Locking your phone while a podcast plays no longer signs you out. Your session carries through the lock. Choose how far each save goes When you save a link or keep something from your Inbox, pick a level: Clean for a readable copy to search, ask and mark up, Structure to add Strata, or Full to add Annotations and Connections. Set a default for each kind of save under Settings, Saving. An item saved below Full says so in the reader and its Library card, with a way to take it further. Larger documents Share bigger documents and books into your Library. A file over the size limit now says so, instead of failing quietly. Privacy and security Tap analytics no longer records the words on your screen, so what you read stays between you and your Library. Signing out now also ends the session on our servers, and the reader is safer with the pages you save.
