Some thoughts don't have a date. "The car's making a grinding noise." "Sarah likes oat milk." "That thing I should ask the doctor about." They're not a meeting, so the calendar won't take them. They're not a task, so a to-do list makes them nag. Put them in Notes and you have to decide where they go — and then you have to remember to look. So they stay in your head, and they leak. Uttr is where you put a thought before you know what it is. Hold your Action Button, say it messy, in one breath, and put your phone away. It sorts what you said into the parts that belong somewhere — the dentist appointment into your calendar, the reminder into Reminders — and it keeps the rest as a memory, then hands it back to you later, on its own. SAY IT MESSY • One press from anywhere: Action Button, Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri, widget • Say several things at once — "dentist Thursday at 3, remind me to call mom, and the car's making a noise" becomes three separate cards • Fillers, false starts and "no wait, Wednesday" corrections are understood, not transcribed • Stop talking and it files itself. Lock your phone mid-thought and it still finishes IT COMES BACK • Dateless thoughts return on their own, spaced further apart as they settle in • Events land in Apple Calendar and tasks in Apple Reminders — your real apps, not another silo • A calm morning brief tells you what today actually holds, and what's still open • Nothing you say is ever deleted to make you upgrade IT BECOMES YOURS • Fix a card once — a spelling, a name, a category — and Uttr remembers forever • See and erase everything it has learned, any time • Everything stays on your iPhone. Speech is transcribed on-device, and on iPhones with Apple Intelligence the AI refining runs on-device too. No account. No ads. No analytics. Nothing to sell. FREE AND PREMIUM Free is a whole app: unlimited capture, unlimited events and reminders, and your seven most recent memories keep coming back. Premium keeps every memory returning no matter how many you have, and mirrors your items into Todoist, Notion or Google Tasks. Search is free, and stays free — finding what you saved is part of the return, not an upsell on top of it. Uttr isn't a notes app you have to manage. It's the place you throw a thought so you can stop carrying it. Terms of Use: https://uttr-app.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://uttr-app.pages.dev/privacy

Uttr's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
