Read full description

Bro-Note is a voice-first planner. Instead of tapping through forms, you just say what happened — "bought coffee for 5", "meeting tomorrow at 2", "food budget 600 a month" — and Bro-Note turns it into the right record: an expense, a reminder, a budget, a goal or a note. WHAT IT DOES • Voice input. Tap the mic, speak in English, Ukrainian or Russian, done. The app transcribes and understands what you meant. • Expenses and income. Every amount you mention becomes a record with a category. See where the money goes by week and month. • Reminders that actually fire. A sound at the moment of the event, plus a heads-up before it. Works even without internet. • Budgets and goals. Set a monthly limit for a category or a savings target, and Bro-Note tracks progress and warns you before you overspend. • Notes. One-line ideas, longer notes, receipt photos — everything is searchable. • Ask Bro. An AI assistant that answers questions about your own data: "how much did I spend on cafes this month?" • Offline. Recorded something with no connection? It is saved and sent automatically, exactly once, when the network is back. • Home screen widget. Your next reminders and today's spending right on the Home Screen. • Apple Watch. Capture by voice from your wrist, check today’s items and your balance. MADE FOR SPEED Home screen shows only what has content — no empty widgets. Overdue items are separated from upcoming ones. Everything you can do in the app you can also do through the Bro-Note Telegram bot, and they stay in sync. FREE AND PREMIUM The free plan includes everything with daily limits on voice and photo input. Bro-Note Premium removes the limits: $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY Your records are yours. Voice and text are processed only to understand what you said. You can export or delete your account at any time from Settings.
