You think of something important — and forget it 5 minutes later. Nottos fixes that. Just speak, and Nottos captures it, understands it, and reminds you at exactly the right moment. VOICE-FIRST CAPTURE Tap once, speak naturally. Nottos transcribes your words and automatically figures out what you said — a reminder, a task, a preference, or just a note. "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 9am" → scheduled reminder. "Pick up milk" → note that surfaces when you're near a grocery store. "Email Jack about the interview on Thursday" → task with a due date. No typing. No fuss. Just speak. SMART REMINDERS Notto understands time-based and recurring reminders from natural speech. One-time events, daily habits, weekly routines — all set automatically from what you say. LOCATION-BASED REMINDERS Save places that matter — home, work, the gym. Notto quietly monitors when you arrive or leave, then surfaces notes that are actually relevant to where you are. Walking into a grocery store? Your shopping notes pop up. Leaving home? Your "don't forget" reminders appear. Arriving at work? Your work tasks are waiting. All opt-in. All private. All on-device. AI-POWERED UNDERSTANDING Nottos uses AI to go beyond simple transcription. It reads between the lines — turning messy, fragmented thoughts into clean, actionable reminders. WHAT MAKES NOTTOS DIFFERENT • Captures voice the way you actually think — in fragments • Automatically detects reminders, tasks, and preferences • Location reminders that work in the background • Private by default — your notes stay yours Start capturing thoughts the way your brain works.
