Narratives
Read full descriptionHide full description
Thoughts do not arrive in order. Narratives helps you bring them together. Write a few messages or dictate a voice note: an idea, a plan, details you do not want to forget, or a question you are still working through. Talk it over at your own pace. After the conversation, Narratives organizes the material into a card with the main idea, useful details, decisions, and questions that remain open. FROM SCATTERED THOUGHTS TO A USEFUL NOTE • Capture thoughts by text, voice, or photo. • Return to the original messages whenever you need context. • Edit the card to make it your own. • Preview and share just the card as text or images. Long image exports use multiple pages. • Export a full dialogue separately when you want to include the source conversation. SEE WHAT CONNECTS Daily summaries bring together the important topics from your conversations. Weekly summaries connect recurring themes, changes, and questions that are still open. Events and reminders, saved memories, web search, and weather are also available when useful. PRIVATE, ON YOUR IPHONE The conversational AI, voice transcription, and image analysis run on your device. Your conversations, cards, and saved memories are stored locally. No account, subscription, or in-app purchase is required. The model downloads separately on first launch; core AI features become available when setup completes. Optional online tools send the necessary request to an external service, for example for web search or weather. Sharing and backup export happen when you choose. You can review, correct, or delete saved memories in Settings. AI can make mistakes. Keep the original conversation, review important details, and edit a card before sharing it.
