LoopQue is a smarter kind of reminder app. Instead of making you stop, type, and set a time, it lets you capture reminders the way they show up in real life β from a photo, your voice, or a quick note β and turns them into reminders you can actually act on. HOW IT WORKS β’ Snap a photo of a bill, letter, or appointment card. LoopQue reads it on your device and extracts a title, due date, category, priority, and notes for you to review. β’ Speak naturally β βremind me to renew my passport next monthβ β and LoopQue structures it into a reminder. β’ Or jot a quick note and let LoopQue organise it. MORE THAN A REMINDER β’ Smart Hints suggest what to do next. β’ Urgency flags surface what matters most. β’ Location links and contacts are pulled out automatically when detected. β’ Recurring reminders keep medication, rent, and weekly tasks on track. β’ Daily loop nudges keep open-ended tasks β the ones with no fixed date β from disappearing. β’ Optional calendar sync and on-device image attachments. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your images never leave your device. OCR runs entirely on-device, only the extracted text is sent for analysis, and sensitive numbers like card or account digits are scrubbed before anything is sent. LoopQue is built for real, sometimes sensitive documents β bills, letters, and medical notices. LOOPQUE PRO Upgrade to LoopQue Pro for unlimited AI captures, recurring reminders, and Smart Hints. β’ Monthly β $2.99/month β’ Yearly β $24.99/year (save ~30%) β’ 7-day free trial for new subscribers Prices shown in USD; actual price varies by region and is confirmed at purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
