1Lens is a metacognition practice and reflection tool. Choose a mental model you want to work on, record your decisions and actions in everyday situations, and look back on what changed. • Practice mental models: Start with built-in models such as First Principles, Win-Win Thinking, and Growth Mindset, or create your own. Keep up to three models active to stay focused. • Record wins and misses: Note what went well or where you fell short. Make a specific “If…then…” plan for your next attempt. • Reflect with voice: Record your thoughts and, when supported by the device, transcribe them with Apple’s system speech recognition. Recordings, transcripts, and practice entries stay on your device. • Review your progress: Browse recent daily entries and reflection history, and use your practice streak to notice your rhythm. • Make it yours: Edit or archive models, then reactivate them from the full list whenever you are ready. Optional reminders can help you build a routine. Take a moment to notice how you think, then choose what to do next. Microphone access is used to record voice reflections. Speech recognition access is used for on-device transcription. Recording starts only when you choose to begin.

OWrite Pro brings notes, plans, habits, focus, outdoor workouts, reminders, and important dates into one calm personal space. Write down what matters, take the next small step, and make room to move. WRITE DOWN IDEAS WORTH KEEPING Use rich-text notes for journals, plans, excerpts, drafts, or unnamed thoughts. Add photos, style your text, search your content, restore deleted items from Trash, and turn a note into an image to save or share. BUILD HABITS AT YOUR OWN PACE Choose daily streaks or cumulative targets for reading, stretching, exercise, and more. Set dates, colors, icons, and reminders. Check in with one tap and review progress on the calendar. BREAK GOALS INTO SMALL STEPS Create tasks for long-term plans or everyday work. Set deadlines, reminders, tags, and colors. Divide a goal into scheduled subtasks with checklists and notes, then review progress in week, month, and timeline views. GO OUTSIDE AND MOVE Record outdoor runs, walks, hikes, and rides. Follow your route and live duration, distance, pace or speed, and calories. Pause or resume, mark splits, revisit workout details, and explore distance trends. Supported devices can show an active workout with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Routes need Location permission; Health data requires authorization, and heart-rate readings depend on a compatible device such as Apple Watch. FOCUS WITH INTENTION Create a focus goal and record sessions with an immersive timer. Review daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics. Follow a running timer through Live Activities on supported devices. As a goal nears completion, the timer becomes a countdown and your effort blooms into a mathematical flower. KEEP IMPORTANT DATES IN SIGHT Save birthdays, trips, anniversaries, launches, and other days worth anticipating. See countdowns and elapsed days, choose reminders and recurrence, add a photo or Live Photo, and display a selected date in the Home Screen widget. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY Create one-time reminders or repeat them on selected weekdays, monthly, or yearly. Add notes and images, then manage reminders in one dedicated center. ONE HOME FOR YOUR LIFE See habits, tasks, recent notes, focus goals, workouts, and important dates together. Search titles, content, and tags or filter by color. Completing habit, task, and focus goals unlocks distinctive Maurer Rose achievements. DESIGNED FOR YOU OWrite supports VoiceOver, Voice Control, accessible actions and widgets, Reduced Motion, enhanced contrast, appearance choices, and 12- or 24-hour time. Data stays on your device by default, with optional iCloud sync. Protect app content with Face ID or the device passcode.
