ThoughtTrace

Read full description

"Think analog, save digital." ThoughtTrace is a seamless tool to digitally save and organize the deep thoughts you've written down with pen and paper. Some ideas are only born when you freely move a pen across a blank sheet of paper, rather than typing on a keyboard. ThoughtTrace maximizes this "handwritten thought process" and securely manages your notes afterward. ◆ 3 Core Features of ThoughtTrace ◆ 1. "Intelligent Timer" for Deep Thinking Place your iPhone or iPad on the corner of your desk and set the focus timer. Setting a time limit flips the switch in your brain to "just write." 2. "High-Quality Continuous Scan" for Handwritten Notes Once you finish writing, simply point the app's camera. It automatically detects document edges, removes hand shadows and wrinkles, and instantly converts your notes into crisp, highly legible black-and-white data. You can also continuously scan multiple pages without closing the camera. 3. Reflect and Organize (Folders, Tags, PDF Export) Beautifully organize your scanned notes using folders and tags. Look back on the trajectory of your thoughts through a chronological timeline. You can also combine multiple notes and export them as a single PDF (*Pro feature). ◆ Privacy First ◆ All your ideas and notes are saved strictly on your device. They are never sent to external servers, allowing you to write down your thoughts with complete peace of mind. *The free version has a daily limit on the number of scans. Upgrade to the Pro version with a one-time purchase to unlock "Unlimited Saves," "No Ads," and the "PDF Export" feature.

Teleprompter & Prompter Video helps you read scripts while recording speeches, tutorials, social videos, presentations, and client updates. Write or paste a script, adjust speed and text size, mirror the prompt when needed, and keep your delivery smoother without memorizing every line. NEW: RECORD WHILE YOUR SCRIPT SCROLLS Film yourself on the same phone you are reading from. You get a 3-2-1 countdown before it rolls, front or back camera, an adjustable dim so you can still see yourself, and the finished video saves straight to your Photos with no watermark. Your script stays on the preview only, so it never appears in the video. Why it helps: - Simple script library - Adjustable scrolling speed - Large readable prompt text - Mirror mode for prompter setups - Record video with the script scrolling, unlocked by a single in-app purchase - Works well for creators, students, teachers, founders, and presenters Writing, organizing and reading your scripts is free. Recording is unlocked once with a single in-app purchase. Your scripts and recordings stay on your device. Recordings are never uploaded to us. Built for people who want to sound prepared on camera without turning every video into a memorization exercise.
