Ideas vanish fast. TTingNote lets you catch one in 300 characters the moment it hits, then shows it to you again just as you start to forget. Write it down now - Open the app and you're already on a blank note. Siri, Control Center, and the Action button get you there in one step, too. - When the 300-character bar fills up, a β€œ!” appears. Keep going in the next note, and the two stay linked. See it again - Flip through your notes one at a time in the Revisit tab. Starred notes come up more often. - Older notes similar to what you've written lately come up first. Find and sort - Search finds notes even when your words don't match exactly. Sort by star or by date. - On devices with Apple Intelligence turned on, search also finds notes with a similar meaning. Look up β€œbakery” and your dessert notes show up too. - Export and import your notes as a CSV file. TTingNote Pro - Write and revisit right from widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. - Once a day, Daily TTing sends you one of your notes as a notification. - iCloud keeps the same notes on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Dictate notes on Apple Watch and fix the transcript on the spot. - Yearly (7-day free trial) or lifetime (Family Sharing). No ads. Your notes stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Nothing is sent to us.

Say what's on your mind. Derly writes it down. Tap the mascot and talk. When you stop, you get a clear note: a title, the gist in your own words, the points behind it, and any to-dos, with dates when you said them. Everything happens on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your voice is never sent to us or anyone else. CHANGE IT BY SAYING SO Open a note and say "drop the part about pricing and add that I'll try it Friday." You see each change before and after, and apply them one at a time or all at once. Every recording is kept. YOURS, AS FILES Every thought is a folder in the Files app: the note as Markdown, the recording, and every edit you spoke. Open them in any app. Nothing is locked in. ALWAYS AT HAND Record from the Action button, Control Center, the Lock Screen, a widget or Siri. A Live Activity shows the time, with pause and stop. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri to make a note, add to one or read one back. Find any word you said in Spotlight. Build your own flows in Shortcuts, like turning voice memos into notes. TO-DOS WHERE YOU NEED THEM Send to-dos to Reminders with a tap, or have them go there on their own. MAKE IT YOURS Pick the app's color and your mascot's shape and glass, and put them on the app icon too. Tell it your languages, how notes should read, and the names and words it should know. MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE Talk in the languages you use, even in the same thought. PLANS Free: record as much as you like. Everyday transcripts, notes, to-dos and editing by voice. Plus: Precise transcripts, the most accurate, even with names, jargon and more than one language. Fast transcripts: an hour's meeting in a minute or two. Every color, shape and glass. Your notes on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, through iCloud. Monthly or yearly, with a free week to try it. Prices are shown in the app. Notes are written with Apple Intelligence on devices that support it. On other devices you still get the recording and the transcript. Plus renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
