Kiwipot keeps your voice notes, notes and tasks in one place, on your iPhone and iPad, and offline too. VOICE NOTES THAT KEEP RECORDING • Tap Record and lock your iPhone: Kiwipot keeps recording with the screen off or another app open. • Pause and resume as you go. A call pauses the recording, and you pick it up again afterwards. • Play it back on its waveform: tap to jump, go back 10 seconds, listen at 1×, 1.5× or 2×. • Start a new voice note from your notes, or record straight into the note you are writing. NOTES AND TASKS • Write notes with headings, lists, checklists, pictures, videos and files. • Keep them in folders, pin the ones you need most and archive the rest. • Add tasks with due dates and tick them off. • The calendar shows each day: the tasks due, and the notes you wrote on it or about it. • Share a note by email or publish it with a link. LOCKED NOTES • Lock a note, or a whole folder, behind a 4-digit PIN, and open it with Face ID. • Locked notes show only their title in lists and search. WORKS OFFLINE • Write, record and organise without a connection: Kiwipot syncs when you are back online. • No account needed: without one, everything stays on your iPhone. • Sign in to sync across your devices, and use Kiwipot in your browser at kiwipot.com. COMING FROM VOICE DIARY? Kiwipot is the new Voice Diary. Update, and your recordings, notes and folders come with you, locked folders still locked with your passcode. Free to use, with no ads, in 55 languages.
