Moun is your external memory. Speak naturally and Moun turns it into a task, or a reminder — no forms, no friction. Then it brings things back to you at the exact moment you need them. Most apps let you write things down but never help you find them again. Moun is built the way people actually think: capture fast, let AI organize, and never lose anything. CAPTURE BY VOICE Tap once and talk. Moun understands what you mean and sets up the note, task, or reminder for you automatically. SMART REMINDERS Get reminded by time or by place. "Remind me to call Mario when I get to work" just works, thanks to location-based reminders. PERSISTENT REMINDERS Didn't finish a task? Moun brings it back the next day — and keeps reminding you until it's actually done. FIND ANYTHING WITH AI Don't remember where you saved it? Just describe it. Moun's AI search finds any note, moment, or reminder in seconds. YOUR MEMORY, ORGANIZED FOR YOU Drop things in without worrying about folders. The AI handles the organizing so you don't have to. Prefer structure? Predefined folders like Journal are ready when you want them. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Notes, tasks, reminders, and moments — unified in a calm, minimal space designed to feel effortless. Capture fast. Find easily. Never forget. Download Moun and turn your phone into the memory that remembers for you. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
