Monologue is what happens when you talk through your work instead of typing it. It starts as dictation that writes what you meant. Use it for voice notes on a walk. Use it for meetings without a bot. Give the transcript to your agents and keep building. It stays with you from Cursor to a walk to a call. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH Most dictation apps get the words down. Monologue gets the intent. It cleans filler, matches the tone of the app you are in, and remembers your names and jargon. WHAT YOU GET • Dictation in any app. Cursor, Slack, email, iMessage, docs.

Clear your mental clutter. An idea, a task, something to explain… You know what needs doing, but it all gets tangled? Planific turns scattered thoughts into clear steps. SAY WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND Speak or type what you need. The assistant helps you clarify it, then prepares a draft you can review, edit and approve. MAKE THE PLAN YOUR OWN Reorder steps, add useful details and ask AI to expand a step that feels unclear. A photo or video can show the right action at the right moment. TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME Find your plans on your iPhone and follow them without getting lost in a wall of text. After a break, pick up where you left off. MAKE HANDOVERS SIMPLE Share a plan or a collection with a link. The person opening it needs neither an account nor the app. Add an access code when needed, update the link or deactivate it whenever you choose. FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Prepare for a trip, explain a child’s routine, leave plant care instructions, welcome someone, organize a volunteer shift or explain how an appliance works. Keep the essentials together. YOUR PLANS, YOUR CHOICE No account to create. Your plans stay on your iPhone unless you share them or use the assistant. Links are not listed or indexed. The assistant and sharing require an internet connection. Less to keep in your head. One clear next step.
