AvaNotes is the voice memory that finishes the work. Talk; Ava transcribes, summarizes, and finds every todo, meeting, and follow-up hiding inside what you said โ€” 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 100+ 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 โ€” todos, meetings, follow-ups, open questions โ€” at the top of the screen: โ€ข Tap [Add to Reminders] โ€” writes the todo to Apple Reminders with the right due date. โ€ข Tap [Calendar] โ€” drops the meeting in your calendar. โ€ข Tap [Draft email] โ€” opens Mail with a subject and the relevant excerpt prefilled, ready to review and send. โ€ข Tap [Done] โ€” 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 notification ("3 things to do today โ€” including Call Jen") so the morning starts before you open the app. Time and on/off in Settings โ†’ 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 โ€” YOUR AI MEMORY Search every note with one question: โ€ข "What are my open items?" โ€ข "Summarize my last three coaching calls." โ€ข "What decisions did I make this month?" Semantic search across your library โ€” not keyword grep. Ava finds the moment, plays the audio, pulls the exact quote. SUMMARIES IN YOUR STYLE Pick how Ava writes: โ€ข Bullets โ€” quick scannable list โ€ข Journal entry โ€” first-person reflection โ€ข Action items โ€” tasks ready to do โ€ข Meeting notes โ€” 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 โ€” streaming through Apple's premium cloud model. Settings โ†’ 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 โ€” and Ava asks before any audio is processed. Your trial's first note can transcribe right on your iPhone; cloud features (Ask Ava, summaries, recall) send your audio to OpenAI for processing, with your in-app consent first. โ€ข No meeting bots joining calls on your behalf โ€ข In-app consent before any audio leaves your device for AI processing โ€ข Ava never reads your existing reminders, calendar, or contacts โ€” she only writes what you accept โ€ข Never sold, never used for ads โ€ข Delete any note (and its audio) in two taps โ€ข Full account deletion in Settings AVANOTES PRO Start with a 7-day free trial.
