Ivory turns lectures, meetings, brainstorms, and voice notes into organized material you can actually use. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch. Ivory keeps the original audio, transcribes it on your device with an included speech model, and creates a clean workspace around what you captured. No Ivory account is required. NEW IN IVORY 2.1 Ask Your Notes lets Ivory Pro users ask questions across available transcripts on supported Apple Intelligence devices. Answers are grounded in the source passages shown in the app, so important details are easy to check. Lock sensitive notes and reveal them with Face ID or device authentication. Locked notes stay out of Ask Your Notes until you choose to reveal them. For meetings, Speaker Review can turn a long transcript into a readable voice script with remembered speaker names. For classes, a weekly schedule can automatically place new recordings into the class happening at that time.

SlideJot
Read full descriptionHide full description
SlideJot is a tiny jot pad for the thoughts you'd otherwise lose — the idea in line at the coffee shop, the sentence you'll want later, the link you don't know where to file yet. A jot is lighter than a note and more durable than the clipboard. Open the app, type, done. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no formatting decisions. Organize later — or never. CAPTURE FIRST, ORGANIZE LATER • Start a new jot in one tap and just write • Everything autosaves as you type • Pin the jots you keep coming back to • Deleted jots go to Trash, so nothing is lost by accident FIND WHAT YOU PARKED • Fast full-text search across your current jots • The messy fragment you saved becomes useful again when you can actually find it MORE THAN PLAIN TEXT • Choose images with Apple's system Photos picker or take one with the camera • Add code blocks and section blocks from the keyboard toolbar • Undo and redo, right where you type • Adjustable editor font size, plus light, dark, or system appearance BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a two-column layout keeps your list and editor side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for common actions when a hardware keyboard is attached OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC • Flip one switch to sync jots and images across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Sync uses your own iCloud account — we never see your data • Local editing works offline; pending changes sync after a connection is available PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email required • No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs • Your jots live on your device, and in your own iCloud only if you enable sync FREE, WITH NOTHING TO UNLOCK SlideJot for iOS is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall. SlideJot for Mac — a slide-out jot panel that lives at the edge of your screen — is available separately and syncs with the iOS app through iCloud. Stay draft. Stay messy. Keep the line worth keeping.
