Say it while it is fresh. Offhand turns spoken thoughts into notes you can revisit, edit, and build on. CAPTURE AND FIND Tap to record, or hold to speak and release to save. Keep the original audio and transcript, with Mandarin and English transcription. Find notes through categories and search, or add a follow-up recording to an existing note. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from three writing levels and multiple templates. Edit titles, notes, or transcripts, then organize the text again. New AI suggestions do not silently overwrite your own edits. Revisit the week's entries with a weekly review. FOLLOW THROUGH Confirm a task and its time before adding it to Apple Reminders, or add an event to Calendar. Access to these services is requested when you use the relevant feature. KEEP YOUR CONTENT LOCAL No account, ads, or behavioral analytics. Download the default AI model from Apple, then organize notes offline on your iPhone. Recordings and text are not uploaded for cloud AI processing. Copy, share, or export your notes, and recover accidentally deleted entries from Trash. FREE EXPERIENCE AND PRO Try AI organization for 20 notes, with recordings up to 5 minutes each. Recording and transcripts remain available after the free allowance is used. A one-time Pro purchase lets you continue using AI organization and record up to 60 minutes per note. No subscription. Local pricing is shown on the purchase screen, and Restore Purchases is available. DEVICE REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later is required. Default local AI requires compatible hardware: Apple GPU family 9 or later and approximately 8 GB of memory. The app checks compatibility; Pro does not unlock unsupported hardware capabilities. An internet connection is needed for the initial Qwen model download; the system may also need to download speech-language resources. Once prepared, recording, transcription, and local AI work offline. Background processing depends on device capabilities and system scheduling; return to the app to resume when needed. AI can make mistakes, so check important facts and reminder times.
