You have a hundred thoughts a day. You lose the best ones. Almanack catches each one in a ten-second voice note, then hands it back in your own words the moment you ask. HOW IT WORKS Talk. Almanack cleans up the ramble and files it for you. Ask. Weeks later, ask a question and get the answer, pulled only from what you actually said. That is the whole app. No folders to build, no notes to re-read, no system to maintain. ASK YOUR OWN MEMORY "What did I decide about pricing in March?" "What was that idea I had on the walk?" Ask, and Almanack answers in your own words, sourced only from your own notes. If you never said it, it says so instead of making something up. TALK, IT FILES ITSELF Hit record and think out loud. Almanack transcribes it, titles it, and organizes it in the background. You never sort anything into a folder. A messy ten-second ramble becomes a clean note you can actually find. Capture from your Lock Screen, a home-screen widget, or just by asking Siri, without opening the app. RECORD MEETINGS AND CALLS Hit record and set your phone down. Almanack captures the whole room, never loses it, and gives you a clean transcript, a summary, and the next steps. Ask the meeting anything later. No bot joins your call. SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE Talk in English, Spanish, Japanese, Hindi, any of 99 languages. Almanack writes it back in the language you spoke, not a forced translation. Mix two languages in one meeting and it keeps both. Need a note in another language? Turn it into dozens more. TURN A NOTE INTO ANYTHING A rambled note becomes a clean email, a tweet, a meeting brief, study notes, or a summary in seconds. Teach Almanack your writing style once and the drafts sound like you, not a robot. USE YOUR MEMORY FROM ANY AI Connect Almanack to the AI you already use, like ChatGPT and Claude, and ask your own notes from inside it. Your memory stops living in one app. Every assistant you use can draw on it, scoped to only what you said. YOUR COMMITMENTS COME BACK ON THEIR OWN Say "I need to send Dixon the deck Friday" and Almanack pulls it out, dates it, and reminds you Friday. The things you said you would do come back to you, instead of dying in a list you never reopen. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Your capture is never lost. Almanack saves the second you speak, so a dead battery or a closed app never costs you the thought. Answers come from your own words, never invented. Your data is encrypted, yours to export or delete anytime, and never sold or used to train anything. WHO IT IS FOR People who think faster than they can write it down. Founders and makers juggling forty open loops, writers who work ideas out loud, anyone who has lost a good thought on a walk and wished they could get it back. WHY IT IS PAID Almanack works for you, not for advertisers. You can start free to see how it works. Every capture runs real AI, so unlimited capture and recall is a paid subscription, never a free tier funded by ads or your data. One subscription, and your memory stays yours. 95.99 dollars a year, about eight dollars a month. Talk it out. Ask it back.
