Remember the little things that matter. Just talk, and Blonde Dolphin files what you said under the right person, pet, place or thing, then brings it back when you need it. SOUND FAMILIAR? - A friend told you their new baby's name. Two months later, it's gone. - The vet said Biscuit needs his teeth cleaned "before Christmas". Which Christmas? - You wrote down the paint colour for the hallway. Somewhere. - It's Sam's birthday tomorrow, and you can't remember what's been going on for him. Notes apps keep everything in one long pile. Blonde Dolphin gives every person, pet, place and thing in your life its own page, and fills it for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the Dolphin and talk for up to three minutes after a catch-up, a vet visit or a morning in the garden. Or type. No forms, no folders. 2. Mention three things and you get three notes, each on the right page. Birthdays, dates, reminders and things worth remembering are picked out for you to keep with a tick. 3. A heads-up before a birthday, with the things worth knowing. A Recap before you see someone, with what's worth asking. A reminder on the day the car's registration is due. And "A year ago today", now and then. JUST ASK Search everything from one box, or ask in plain words: - "What's the name of Priya's dog?" - "What did Tom say about the lemon tree?" - "When's Jonno's birthday?" - "Which paint did we use in the hallway?" The answer comes from your own notes and shows you the notes it came from. If it isn't there, it says so instead of guessing. WHAT PEOPLE KEEP IN IT - People: kids' names and birthdays, new jobs, house moves, what to ask next time, gift ideas. - Pets: vet visits, vaccinations, what food agrees with them, their gotcha day. - Home and garden: what you planted where, paint colours, the tradie's number, photos from the nursery. - Things: E.g. The car - services, registration, what the mechanic said. - Topics: the trip you're planning, the renovation, recipes, footy tipping. ALSO IN THE APP - Up to 10 photos on a note, and a Photos gallery for every page - Family links and dates from Contacts: partners, parents, children, siblings and anniversaries - Up next on Home, so nothing sneaks up on you - Reminders you can tick off or push to tomorrow from the Lock Screen - Home Screen widget, Spotlight, quick actions and Face ID lock - Share text and photos into a note from any app - Light and dark mode - Export everything, any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold. Only the contacts you choose are added. Dictation is turned into text by Apple, and the audio never reaches us. Tidying is your choice: notes are sent to Anthropic's Claude only if you allow it, and Anthropic doesn't train on them. Dolphins never forget. Neither will you.
