Speak your day. Flecty turns it into a journal you can read, search and listen to. SAY IT. IT'S A JOURNAL ENTRY. Talk for a minute on iPhone or Apple Watch. Flecty writes it up as a clean journal entry, in a writing style you choose, and gives it a title. Your original words and your original voice are kept separately, so you can always go back to exactly what you said. RECORD THE WHOLE DAY ON APPLE WATCH Start recording on your wrist in the morning and stop at night. Recordings stay on the watch until they can transfer to your iPhone. In our test, an Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) recorded for 12 hours and still had 40% battery left. Battery life varies by model, settings and use. If a call or an alarm interrupts you, tap Continue and the recording stays in the same entry. YOUR DAY ON A TIMELINE Long recordings become a timeline of the moments in your day. Turn on locations to see where each moment happened, and Apple Health to see your heart rate and HRV next to what you said. Both are optional and off by default. AN AI COACH YOU DEFINE Get a gentle question or suggestion based on your entry, from a coach whose role you can edit. HEAR THE MOMENT AGAIN Search for a word you remember, then play back the original recording from that moment. Words tell you what happened. Your voice tells you how it felt. KEEP IT YOURS Organize entries in folders, browse by date, and lock your journal with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Sync to your private iCloud with a paid plan. Daily reminders are optional. PLANS Try Flecty for free. Premium comes as a monthly or yearly subscription with 5,000 fast transcription minutes each month plus unlimited standard transcription, writing styles, timelines and the AI coach. The yearly plan includes a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Or buy once and bring your own OpenAI or OpenRouter API key; your provider bills AI usage separately. Prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://flecty.app/privacy/
