Coffee, runs, watering the plants, dentist visits… Many+ answers two simple questions: how many times, and how long since? ONE TAP AND IT'S LOGGED Tap a tile and it's recorded. Add a quantity (5 km, 2 coffees…) or a note when you want — never required. YOUR LIFE IN COLOR Every tracker gets its own pastel tile: elapsed time front and center, last 7 days of activity, your usual frequency. REMINDERS THAT (GENTLY) INSIST "Every week" means every week: Many+ reminds you at your chosen pace until it's done. Logging resets the clock. YOUR STATS, NO EFFORT Totals, averages, records, weekly chart: open any tracker and it's all there. YOUR WORKOUTS, AUTOMATICALLY Connect Apple Health and your runs, rides, and workouts log themselves — with distance or duration. You pick which types to import, and edits in Health follow along. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND WRIST Widgets with one-tap logging on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, no need to open the app. An Apple Watch app to log from your wrist. Works with Siri too: "Log coffee in Many+". YOUR DATA IS YOURS Private iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. One-tap backup to Files, plus full export and import: your trackers and notes never leave your account.

Say what's on your mind, then move on. Dictate turns ideas, reminders and plans into text you can return to when you're ready to act. With Apple Intelligence turned on, a compatible iPhone also makes a cleaner reading version alongside the original, organizes spoken lists into bullets or checklists, and gives new recordings a short title. Check off items on iPhone or Apple Watch. Capture a thought on a walk, practice a monologue, or record a meeting to revisit its decisions and next steps. Start in the app, with Siri or Shortcuts, from Apple Watch, or with a supported Action button. Your Watch hands recordings to your iPhone. Dictate is free, with no account or subscription. Audio transcription stays on your iPhone, and we collect no data. On eligible iOS 27 devices, you can choose Apple Private Cloud Compute for the reading version and title. Apple applies its own usage limits. An optional webhook can send original transcripts to your own agent or automation.
