Features: - Private and on-device - Opt in to iCloud sync between iPhone and Mac - Voice transcription and voice memos - Lock screen widgets for text and voice capture - AI-suggested tags to make organizing easy or automatic AI tagging (requires apple intelligence) - Review mode to keep notes alive or let them go - Threads to evolve a thought and link them together - Search by keyword - Natural language reminders - just say "remind me tomorrow at 2pm" (requires apple intelligence)

Buffer helps you pause before opening distracting apps. Select apps, set a cooldown, and require a deliberate confirmation before temporary access is granted. Buffer is designed for people who want a simple friction step before opening apps they use too often. Features: - Select apps using Apple's Screen Time picker - Add cooldown shields to selected apps - Require manual confirmation before temporary access - Keep rules and app selections on your device - No account required Buffer uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. Your selected apps and Screen Time settings stay on your device and are not uploaded to a server.
