RepoMind
Read full descriptionHide full description
The fix occurs to you away from the keyboard. You dictate it in ten seconds, and by the time you open the project your coding agent already knows what to do. DICTATE, DON'T TYPE Hold the mic and talk. RepoMind transcribes it and files the task in whichever project you choose. It listens in two languages at once, so you never have to switch gears mid-sentence. Attach a screenshot and the context travels with the task. YOUR CODING AGENT READS THEM This is the part no other app does. Install RepoMind Bridge and Claude Code, Cursor or Codex pick up your tasks when they open the repository โ marking them in progress, asking you when something is ambiguous, closing them when the work is done. You dictate from the sofa; by the time you sit down, it has already started. YOUR TASKS ARE GITHUB ISSUES Every task is published as an issue in its repository, with its column as a label. Moving a card to Done closes the issue. And it works both ways: whatever gets closed on GitHub shows up as done on the board, and issues opened outside the app come in on their own. ONE BOARD PER PROJECT Each repository gets its own columns, with a separate one for ideas so a half-formed thought never ends up published as an issue. Folders to group projects. And a Today screen that gathers whatever needs attention across all of them. ICLOUD SYNC iPhone, iPad and Mac, always the same. No accounts and no servers of ours: your data travels through your own private iCloud. And when something fails, the app tells you exactly what, instead of going quiet. FREE AND PRO Free: 3 repositories, 1 GitHub account, 3 columns per board. Pro: everything unlimited, one single payment. No subscriptions.

SteelNote is a notes app built on one promise: your notes are plain Markdown files that you own. Every note is a real .md file on your device, openable in the Files app or in any editor you like, today and years from now. No proprietary database. Nothing locked away. Your notes, truly yours. Because every note is plain text, you are never trapped. Read and edit them in SteelNote, in Files, or in any other Markdown app. If you ever move on, you take your files with you as they are, in an open format that lasts. Native on all your Apple devices. SteelNote is built natively for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your notes sync across all of them through iCloud, with no third party account and no extra sign in. Start a note on your phone and finish it on your Mac. Find anything, instantly. A local full text index makes search immediate, even in large libraries. Link notes together, see backlinks, organize with folders and tags, and turn any line into a task. Private when you want it. Mark a note as private and it stays out of widgets and AI features. Your most sensitive notes remain yours alone. Bring everything with you. Import from Bear, Notion, Obsidian and Evernote, or from Markdown, TextBundle, Word, RTF, PDF and CSV files. Your folders and structure come along. Apple Notes works too, one note at a time, because Apple offers no bulk export. Everything you expect. Add images, PDFs and tables inline. Use checklists, footnotes and links. Reach your notes from Spotlight, Siri and widgets, and hand off between devices. An open format, now standard. Markdown is a first class type across Apple platforms, and SteelNote is built natively around it. Your files are open, portable and yours. Membership. SteelNote comes with a 14 day free trial, then a yearly plan or a one time lifetime purchase. You can cancel during the trial and pay nothing, or skip the subscription and choose the lifetime purchase instead. Sync is always included and never restricted. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A yearly plan renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://steelnoteapp.com/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
