Uma ideia aparece sem aviso. O Freak- dá a ela onde pousar. Capture pensamentos por voz no iPhone ou Apple Watch e volte imediatamente ao que estava fazendo. Sem escolher pasta, criar título ou interromper o raciocínio. O Freak- transforma sua fala em texto pesquisável, identifica o tipo da captura e sugere em qual Área ela deve ficar. Você pode revisar, editar e reorganizar tudo depois. CAPTURE PRIMEIRO • Comece uma gravação com poucos toques. • Use o Botão de Ação em iPhones compatíveis. • Inicie pelo widget, Tela Bloqueada, Siri ou Atalhos. • Capture diretamente pelo Apple Watch, mesmo longe do iPhone. • Continue gravando sem depender de conexão naquele instante. ORGANIZE DEPOIS • Transforme voz em texto pesquisável. • Separe trabalho, projetos, estudos e vida pessoal em Áreas. • Receba sugestões automáticas de organização. • Edite o texto e altere a Área quando quiser. • Encontre ideias usando busca textual. • Ouça novamente o áudio disponível no dispositivo. • Conclua capturas identificadas como tarefas. PLANOS Novas contas recebem um benefício gratuito único de 5 minutos de transcrição. O plano Essencial inclui 300 minutos de transcrição por mês. O plano Pro inclui 900 minutos por mês. Ambos estão disponíveis com cobrança mensal ou anual. Nos planos anuais, a cobrança ocorre uma vez por ano e a franquia de minutos é renovada mensalmente. As assinaturas são renovadas automaticamente pela App Store até serem canceladas nas configurações da conta Apple. O áudio é processado temporariamente para gerar a transcrição e removido após o processamento. O Freak- não exibe anúncios nem vende seus dados. Capture primeiro. Organize depois.
