You think of something important — and forget it 5 minutes later. Nottos fixes that. Just speak, and Nottos captures it, understands it, and reminds you at exactly the right moment. VOICE-FIRST CAPTURE Tap once, speak naturally. Nottos transcribes your words and automatically figures out what you said — a reminder, a task, a preference, or just a note. "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 9am" → scheduled reminder. "Pick up milk" → note that surfaces when you're near a grocery store. "Email Jack about the interview on Thursday" → task with a due date. No typing. No fuss. Just speak. SMART REMINDERS Notto understands time-based and recurring reminders from natural speech. One-time events, daily habits, weekly routines — all set automatically from what you say. LOCATION-BASED REMINDERS Save places that matter — home, work, the gym. Notto quietly monitors when you arrive or leave, then surfaces notes that are actually relevant to where you are. Walking into a grocery store? Your shopping notes pop up. Leaving home? Your "don't forget" reminders appear. Arriving at work? Your work tasks are waiting. All opt-in. All private. All on-device. AI-POWERED UNDERSTANDING Nottos uses AI to go beyond simple transcription. It reads between the lines — turning messy, fragmented thoughts into clean, actionable reminders. WHAT MAKES NOTTOS DIFFERENT • Captures voice the way you actually think — in fragments • Automatically detects reminders, tasks, and preferences • Location reminders that work in the background • Private by default — your notes stay yours Start capturing thoughts the way your brain works.

There's an old Indian saying: a dog's tail can never be straightened. No matter how long you hold it down, it curls right back. We're a little like that too. The lessons we most want to live by — be patient, speak slowly, assume good intent — are exactly the ones that keep slipping back into old shape. Roundtail is built for that patient, stubborn work of straightening the tail anyway: not by handing you someone else's wisdom, but by keeping your own words in front of you, day after day, until they start to hold. WRITE WHAT MATTERS Capture a thought in seconds — "speak slowly," "assume good intent," "call your mom." Style it your way with a rich set of fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layouts, so every reflection looks as distinct as it feels. SEE IT EVERYWHERE Add Roundtail widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen, or let your words appear in StandBy while your phone charges. One of your reflections, surfaced at random, right where you'll notice it. NOTIFICATIONS ON YOUR TERMS Choose when and how often your reflections reach you. No streaks, no pressure — just a quiet nudge toward what you've decided matters. STAY ORGANIZED Group reflections into categories, search everything instantly, and keep an optional private journal protected by Face ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no sign-up, no servers — and nothing is ever collected or shared. Your words stay yours. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. The tail may never stay straight. That's not the point. Showing up to straighten it — that's the whole idea.
