Get it out of your head in seconds. Voice, screenshot or type β Carry catches everything so your brain doesn't have to. Most of what you're managing never makes it onto a list. It just lives in your head β the school thing, the appointment, the thing you nearly forgot, the shopping list. Carry is the app that gets it out. Just tap the mic and say everything on your mind. Carry listens, categorises, and organises it β instantly. No typing, no forms, no friction. Just say it and it's done. VOICE FIRST Speak naturally. "Leo has football Thursday at 4pm" β Carry hears it, files it, and reminds you an hour before. Say everything at once. Carry sorts it out. LISTS IN SECONDS "Shopping list β milk, eggs, bread, butter" becomes one tidy card with everything on it. Works for pharmacy lists, packing lists, gift lists β whatever you need to remember. UPLOAD ANYTHING Screenshot a confirmation email, a booking, a school letter. Carry reads it and pulls out everything that matters. CALENDAR SYNC Anything with a date goes straight to your Apple Calendar with one tap β pre-filled and ready. MORNING BRIEFING At 7am, if you have things on that day, Carry sends a quiet heads up. Not an alarm. Just a nudge. SIGN IN WITH APPLE One tap, Face ID, you're in. No email, no password, nothing to remember. SIX CATEGORIES Family. Home. Health. Errands. Me. Work. Everything sorted, nothing lost. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Not another productivity app. Not another list. Carry is for the person who's holding everything in their head and just needs somewhere to put it down. Free to download. No subscription needed to get started.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Carry at 13.0 against BuddhaMind's 15.1. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
