You said it. Then you forgot it. brevva turns your voice into structured notes, automatically. Record a thought while driving, a meeting with a coworker, a reminder before bed. Come back later and find a clean title, a summary in your own words, and a list of what you committed to, with deadlines already set. Everything happens on your iPhone. No cloud. No accounts. No subscriptions. How it works You tap record and talk. brevva transcribes your words, identifies who said what, and extracts the important parts: what was decided, what needs to happen, and who is responsible. It organizes everything into four views. To-dos: every action item from every recording, grouped by urgency. Late, today, this week, later. Swipe to complete. Notes: all your recordings in one place. Voice notes and meetings, each with a title, summary, and the full transcript. Calendar: your week at a glance. Recordings appear alongside your calendar events so you can see what happened and what is coming. People: the people in your conversations. Who you are seeing next, what is open between you, and when you last spoke. brevva builds this from your voice, not from typing. Your morning briefing brevva gathers your day from your calendar, your to-dos, and your recent notes, then writes you a short personal paragraph delivered as a notification. You wake up and know what matters today. Plays back what you said Tap any sentence in a transcript and hear the exact moment. Speaker labels show who said what. Key moments are marked so you can jump to the important parts. Works with your keyboard brevva comes with a custom keyboard for quick dictation anywhere on your phone. Privacy is not a feature. It is the architecture. Every recording is transcribed and processed on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server. There is no account to create. There is no data to breach. You own everything. $49, one time. No subscription. No in-app purchases. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later.

A dictation keyboard for iPhone. Switch to Jot from any app — Messages, Mail, Slack — tap Dictate, and your voice goes into the text field you're in. No account. No cloud. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Speak Instead of Typing, in Any App You're in Messages, Mail, Slack, your browser — anywhere you'd normally type. Tap the globe key on your iPhone keyboard to switch to Jot, tap Dictate, and speak. Your voice goes straight into the text field you're already in. Keep Going When Life Interrupts Your phone rings mid-sentence. Someone hands you something. You jump into Calendar to check a date. Come back, and Jot's microphone is still warm — up to five minutes, ready to pick up where you left off. What you'd already said is saved as you said it. Even if everything drops, the part you'd already dictated is safe and waiting in the text field. Polish What You Said Into What You Meant You dictated something long and meandering. Open it in Jot and tap a built-in prompt: • Articulate — cleans up the prose • Action Items — pulls out the tasks • Email — formats it for sending Or write your own prompt — with your voice. "Turn this into bullet points." "Translate to French." "Make it sound more formal." Save it once, run it on any transcript with a tap. Ask Across Everything You’ve Said Every dictation becomes searchable by meaning, not just keywords. Ask Jot a real question — "What did I decide about the launch?" — and get a clear, written answer drawn from your own transcripts, with the exact notes it used cited as tappable sources. Ask in plain language, even by date — "what did I say last Tuesday?" Or just describe the note you're after — "the standup about channel config" — and Jot finds it for you. Answered on device with Apple Intelligence; your notes never leave your phone.
