No typing. Just say the idea, task, reminder or note while it is still fresh, then let Spill organise it later. Designed for quick brain dumps, Spill turns short voice captures into useful, searchable notes. Your speech is transcribed on device, then sorted into Ideas, Tasks, Reminders or Notes. Spill can also create a clear title, generate a short summary and detect useful dates or times from what you said. What you can use Spill for: • Capture ideas before they disappear • Dictate quick notes while walking, commuting or working • Save tasks without opening a full to-do app • Create reminders from natural speech • Keep a searchable library of past thoughts • Review recent captures from your Home screen • Filter your library by Ideas, Tasks, Reminders and Notes Private by design Spill is built for people who want speed without giving up privacy. Transcription happens locally on your iPhone, your data is stored on device, and there is no account, no backend, no cloud AI processing and no subscription. Original audio is deleted by default once transcribed, unless you choose otherwise in settings. Say it now. Sort it later. Spill is for anyone who thinks faster than they type: makers, students, writers, busy parents, freelancers, founders and anyone who needs a lightweight place to capture thoughts quickly. Download Spill and turn fleeting speech into organised, private notes.
