Press capture. Get it written up. Trace turns your conversations into context you keep: what was said, what was decided, and who promised what. Then it puts that context to work for you and your team. CAPTURE ANY CONVERSATION Tap Capture and talk. Trace works out what kind of conversation it was, a standup, an interview, a 1:1, a sales call, and writes it up to match. Pause whenever you need to and pick up where you left off. NEVER LOSE TRACK OF WHAT YOU PROMISED Trace picks up what you said you'd do and files it under the conversation it came from. Tick things off in To-dos, and see what everyone on your team has on their list. ASK ANYTHING Ask Trace across everything you've captured, or ask about one context or a whole Space right from its page. Answers quote the exact line and open the transcript right there. YOUR AGENT, ON YOUR TEAM Chat with the people in your workspace in Conversations. When you're busy, your agent can reply from your context and shows where the answer came from. Type @ to bring a person or an agent into the chat. KEEP PEOPLE IN THE LOOP Share a topic once and every context on it reaches them from then on. You approve each one before it goes out. WORKSPACES Keep personal and work apart. Create a workspace, invite your team, bring your existing contexts with you, and switch between workspaces in a tap. A HOME FOR EVERY CONVERSATION Group related contexts into Spaces: a client, a recurring 1:1, a hiring loop. CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION • One tap to start, and it keeps going if you switch apps • Live Activity timer in the Dynamic Island • Start a capture from the Action Button, Siri, or a notification • Edit any title or point in place WHO IT'S FOR Founders, PMs, engineers, consultants, recruiters, sales, anyone whose work depends on what got said, decided, or promised.

Wellworded turns half-formed thoughts into the right words — for a text, an email, a hard conversation, or a plan. SAY IT BETTER Dump the messy version. Pick a tone and who it's for. Get the best way to say it, then tweak it together: "warmer", "shorter", "it's for my boss". Tap How It Lands to read it the way they will, before you send. THINK · PLAN · ASK Not sure what you think yet? Give Wellworded the fragments and get the thought back fully formed, a step-by-step plan, or a straight answer. AUTOPILOT In a live conversation, Wellworded listens and gives you a one-line read of the moment plus three ways to respond. It learns your voice — on your iPhone — so it knows which words were yours. When it's over, get the recap and the follow-up message, ready to send. REHEARSE Practice the raise ask, the breakup, the landlord call. Wellworded plays the other person out loud, reacts to what you actually say, then coaches you. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS "Say it better with Wellworded" from Siri, the Shortcuts app, or the Action button, and get the words back without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition runs on your iPhone. No account. No ads. Your history stays on your device. Built-in AI includes free messages every month. Wellworded Pro (monthly or yearly, with a three-day free trial) removes the limit. Recording or transcribing a conversation may require the consent of everyone in it — please use Autopilot responsibly.
