PRO FEATURES, available via single in-app purchase: • Cloud synchronization • Unlock with Face ID • Unlock with Touch ID • Password Generator • CSV Import SECURITY FEATURES • All data is encrypted, including Entry names, Category definitions and the data itself. • Encrypts data using AES or Blowfish algorithms with key sizes of 256, 192 or 128 bits. • When the data file is decrypted, up to all combinations of algorithm and key size are tried with the Master password to unlock the data file. The app itself does not store any hint to the actual cipher, key size or cipher mode of operation. • Uses a randomly generated 'salt' combined with the Master password. Salt helps to protect from off-line dictionary attacks. • The key to open the data file is created by combining your master password with the 512-bit 'salt'. The result is hashed 1000 times by SHA-256. Repetitive hashing makes a brute force attack more difficult. • Supports auto destruction of the data file after a predefined number of unsuccessful unlocks have been tried.

Later? Brain Dump Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every other brain dump app keeps your thoughts. This one deletes them. If you have ADHD, you already know the failure mode. You dump everything out of your head into an app — and now the app is the problem. A hundred half-thoughts you will never read, sitting there, quietly accusing you. So you abandon it and start a new one. Later? is built the opposite way. Thoughts come in, get acted on, and leave. In 14 days anything you didn't act on deletes itself. Automatically. Without asking you. If it mattered, you'd have done it. That is the entire design. SPEAK IT IN THREE SECONDS Tap the mic, say the thought, done. From the lock screen widget it's one tap. No title, no folder, no tag, no project, no due date. There is nothing to set up and nothing to maintain, because there is nothing to maintain. IT ALREADY KNOWS WHAT THE THOUGHT IS FOR Later? reads each thought on-device and points it at the right place: • Something to look up → your search engine • A place someone mentioned → Apple Maps • Something to buy → Google Shopping or Amazon • A show or film → YouTube • Someone to email → Mail, composed • Just a thought to get out of your head → held, no action needed One tap fires it. One tap clears it. That's the loop. THE LIST CANNOT GROW This is not a notes app and it is not a task manager. Nothing accumulates. Items auto-purge after 14 days, and the queue you open tomorrow is shorter than the one you closed today. No weekly review. No inbox to process. No backlog to feel bad about. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Voice transcription runs entirely on-device with Apple's Speech framework. No analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party SDKs — none at all. No account, no sign-in, no server. It works fully offline, forever, because there is nowhere for your thoughts to go. WIDGETS Home screen widget shows your oldest thought and clears it without opening the app. Lock screen widget opens the mic in one tap. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK — NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION Capture, clearing, plain thoughts, widgets and weekly stats are free forever, with 5 smart actions a day. Later? Plus is a single $3.99 purchase, once, that unlocks: • Unlimited smart actions • Purge control — 7, 14 or 30 days • More destinations — DuckDuckGo, Bing, Amazon • All-time stats and your most-used action Pay once. No subscription, ever. Later? is not a treatment and makes no medical claims. It is a capture tool built for people whose working memory drops things. From Tidy Apps — also makers of Had it?, the ownership memory tracker.
