Turn a recording into text you can review, edit, copy, share, and export. Jusstalk is designed for quick voice notes, meetings, interviews, lectures, and ideas you would rather speak than type. The app interface is currently available in French. CHOOSE HOW YOU USE MISTRAL • Managed access: get three transcriptions, then unlock the Jusstalk-managed service with one non-consumable in-app purchase. There is no subscription and no additional metered Jusstalk charge. • Bring your own key: you can also add and validate a personal Mistral API key, then use Jusstalk without an app purchase or an app-imposed transcription count. Your Mistral credits, prices, quotas, and rate limits still apply. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE WORKFLOW • Record from one clear control. • Keep an offline recording on your device until a connection returns. • Review and correct the transcription. • Copy or share the result. • Export TXT, Markdown, JSON, PDF, DOCX, HTML, RTF, or CSV. • Restore your one-time purchase on another eligible device. PRIVACY, EXPLAINED Jusstalk requires microphone access only when you choose to record. Saved transcriptions, pending recordings, and preferences remain on your device. A personal Mistral key is stored in the Apple Keychain and requests go directly to Mistral. Trial and purchased managed requests use Jusstalk’s secure relay before being forwarded to Mistral. Jusstalk has no ads, analytics, or cross-app tracking. AI transcription can contain errors. Review important text before relying on it.
CognitiveAnchor

Your intentions, anchored where you can’t miss them. CognitiveAnchor turns the thing you’re trying to remember into a living presence on your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen — so “don’t forget” becomes “can’t forget.” No accounts, no cloud tracking, no clutter. Just a calm, glanceable anchor for what matters right now. WHY IT WORKS Out of sight is out of mind. An Anchor keeps your task visible with a color, an icon, a live countdown, and a subtle animation — the kind of persistent, ambient cue that actually changes behavior instead of buzzing once and disappearing. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live Activities — watch an Anchor and its countdown live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Home Screen & Control widgets — start your favorite Anchors in a single tap. • Walk-away failsafe — set an on-device geofence and get a time-sensitive alert if you leave before you’re done. Perfect for the oven, the laundry, a parking meter, or a child in the car. • Countdown timers with early warnings — a heads-up before time runs out, not just after. • One-tap parking — launch Pango, CelloPark, ParkMobile, or EasyPark with a live timer already running. • Ready-made templates — medication, EV charging, deep-focus sessions, baby feeds, watering plants, the oven, laundry, tea, hydration, naps, and more. • Make it yours — pick the icon, color, duration, and animation for every Anchor. • Accessibility built in — color-blind-friendly palettes and full support for six languages (English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, Korean). BUILT FOR People with a lot on their mind — parents, students, people with ADHD, shift workers, cooks, EV drivers, and anyone who’s ever walked away from something they meant to finish. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your location never leaves your device — geofencing is handled entirely on-device to power local reminders. No ad tracking. No analytics profiles. Anchors you choose to share travel through your own iCloud. PREMIUM (one-time unlock, no subscription) Upgrade once to run up to four Anchors at the same time, unlock every premium template, and create free-form custom-text Anchors. Includes Restore Purchases; your unlock is yours to keep. Anchor your attention. Finish what you start. Disclaimer of Liability: CognitiveAnchor provides reminders and location-based alerts for convenience and general productivity only. It is **not** a safety, security, medical, or child-monitoring device and must not be relied upon for those purposes. Notifications and geofence alerts depend on your device’s power, connectivity, permissions, and operating-system state, and may be delayed or may not be delivered. Always use appropriate professional judgment and dedicated safety equipment for medication, cooking, childcare, driving, and any situation where a missed reminder could cause harm. Location data is processed on-device for these reminders and is not collected by the developer.
