AI Refine Keyboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
AI Refine Keyboard is an action keyboard for iPhone built for voice-first writing. Less Typing – Better Writing! Use Speech to dictate, turn your voice into text, then improve or translate it in the same flow without leaving the app where you are already writing. Switch to it in Messages, Mail, Notes, browsers, and other apps to speak naturally, polish wording, and insert the result with Replace or copy it with Copy. VOICE INPUT (SPEECH) Choose Speech on the keyboard to dictate. iOS may briefly open the main app so the microphone can record; you can return to your chat and use Stop or Cancel from the keyboard. After transcription, run Improve or Translate on the result like any other text. Recording time and tokens apply (see the main app and on-keyboard token indicator). IMPROVE YOUR TEXT Select what you wrote or use the text from Speech and tap Improve. Choose a tone (polite, friendly, or neutral) and get two refined versions (v1 and v2) so you can pick the one that fits. Tap Replace to swap the selection, or Copy to use the result elsewhere. TRANSLATE FAST Tap Translate for your primary target language. Enable a second target language to unlock Translate 2, ideal when you often switch between two languages (for example English and Spanish) without digging through settings each time. Source language is detected automatically. WORKS ACROSS APPS Use AI Refine Keyboard anywhere the system keyboard appears. Dictate replies, refine drafts before you send them, translate messages, and keep two translation targets one tap away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Requests run only when you tap Improve, Translate, or complete a Speech transcription flow. Only the text you explicitly work with is sent for processing. We don't log keystrokes or read your conversations in the background. SUBSCRIPTION & TOKENS AI Refine Keyboard offers plans with a monthly token allowance for Improve, Translate, and Speech (dictation and transcription) actions. You can upgrade your plan or purchase extra tokens when you need more. Manage everything in the main app. We’re exploring ways to let purchases work more smoothly for users who prefer not to sign in.

Chuck Note is a delightfully different note app built around one big idea: your notes are connected, and the connections matter. Write. Stash. Follow the Trail. Jot down anything — quick thoughts, project notes, journal entries, or creative sparks. Chuck Note's clean editor gives you rich text, drawing tools, and attachments all in one place. ACORN TRAILS — THE SMARTER WAY TO FIND CONNECTIONS Chuck Note watches your subjects for shared keywords. When two or more notes share a word, it automatically groups them into an Acorn Trail — a visual path showing how your ideas relate. No folders to manage. No tags to assign. Just write naturally and Chuck finds the connections. STASH ACORNS — PIN IDEAS TO A PLACE Tap to drop a pin on any note and stash it on the map. Whether it's a hiking trail, a restaurant you want to remember, or a neighborhood you want to explore — your notes live where they happened. Open the map tab anytime to find them. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE • Notes list with search, sort, and filter • Star important notes to surface them fast • Protected notes add an extra confirmation before deleting • Export any note as a PDF or plain text file • Privacy shield hides your notes in the app switcher BUILT FOR EVERY KIND OF NOTE-TAKER Daily journaling, work projects, creative brainstorming, or a little of everything — Chuck Note adapts to how you think, not the other way around. Download Chuck Note and start building your burrow.
