Dryer turns talking into doing. Tap your Apple Watch. Speak. Your phone transcribes it and hands it to a small workgroup of AI agents you've set up. Each one reads it from its own angle and decides what to do next — draft a reply, open a GitHub issue, queue a tweet, or just remember it. Built for builders, founders, and anyone whose best ideas happen on the move. WATCH-FIRST WORKFLOW • Standalone Apple Watch app — tap, record, sync, no iPhone needed • Recordings auto-sync to iPhone and process in seconds • Apple Watch widget for the Smart Stack • iPhone widget for today's entry count WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record from Watch, iPhone, or both • Drop in text, images, or links from anywhere • Configure custom AI agents with their own perspectives and skills • Connect GitHub so agents can browse repos and open issues • Auto-captures location, weather, and time YOUR WORKGROUP Each agent is a small AI worker you configure: • A perspective — how they read (e.g., "engineering manager", "personal trainer") • A task — what to do with what they read • Skills — GitHub, Twitter drafts, image generation, more on the way • Memory — facts they remember across sessions PRIVACY Your voice recordings stay yours. Never used to train third-party models. Delete any entry, agent, or your entire account at any time.
