AvaNotes is the voice memory that finishes the work. Talk; Ava transcribes, summarizes, and suggests the todos, meetings, and follow-ups in what you said — ready for Reminders, Calendar, or a draft email in one tap. HOW IT WORKS Press a button. Talk. That's it. Ava listens, transcribes in many languages, writes the note for you, and pulls the actions out of every recording automatically. No meeting bots. No screen recording. No surveillance. AVA HEARD (NEW) On every note, Ava shows you what's actionable — todos, meetings, follow-ups, open questions — at the top of the screen: • Tap [Add to Reminders] — writes the todo to Apple Reminders with the right due date. • Tap [Calendar] — drops the meeting in your calendar. • Tap [Draft email] — opens Mail with a subject and the relevant excerpt prefilled, ready to review and send. • Tap [Done] — close the loop without leaving the app. TODAY, FROM YOUR NOTES (NEW) Open the app in the morning. Home leads with your day, drawn entirely from what you recorded: today's todos, the meeting at 3pm, the follow-up you owe Sarah, the people you've been talking about all week. An optional 8 AM local reminder to check your notes, so the morning starts before you open the app. Time and on/off in Settings → Daily Briefing. THE KNOWLEDGE GRAPH Every note threads into a living graph of the people, projects, and decisions you've ever mentioned. Tap any name to see every conversation about them. Ask "what was I thinking last week about X" and Ava answers from the right window. ASK AVA — YOUR AI MEMORY Search every note with one question: • "What are my open items?" • "Summarize my last three coaching calls." • "What decisions did I make this month?" Semantic search across your library — not keyword grep. Ava links its answers back to the source notes so you can check them and replay the recording. SUMMARIES IN YOUR STYLE Pick how Ava writes: • Bullets — quick scannable list • Journal entry — first-person reflection • Action items — tasks ready to do • Meeting notes — agenda, decisions, follow-ups Switch styles anytime. Ava re-writes from the same recording. STUDIO VOICE (Pro, NEW) Hear Ava in a warmer, more natural voice — using a cloud speech service. Settings → Ava's Voice. Free users keep the on-device Apple voice (also free, also great). YOUR DATA, YOUR TERMS No surveillance, no ads, no selling your data — and Ava asks before any audio is processed. Guest notes can transcribe on supported devices with local speech models; cloud transcription sends audio to our cloud AI provider, named on the in-app consent screen; summaries and Ask Ava send note text and questions, with your in-app consent first. • No meeting bots joining calls on your behalf • In-app consent before any audio leaves your device for AI processing • Ava adds only the Reminders and Calendar items you accept and does not scan your contacts • Never sold, never used for ads • Delete notes and their audio from the note menu • Account deletion in Settings; Apple subscription billing is managed separately AVANOTES PRO Start with a free trial: 14 days on yearly, 7 days on monthly.
