Your best ideas do not happen at your desk. They happen in the car, in the shower, on a walk, at 2 AM. Then they vanish, because capturing them is work. In-Bot removes the work. Open the app, talk, and you are done. Your words become tasks with due dates and checklists, notes with titles, and notebooks that organize themselves. Nothing to organize, ever. SAY EVERYTHING AT ONCE Unload your whole morning in one go. In-Bot splits it into separate tasks and notes, each with its own notebook, category and due date. You approve the split before anything saves. TASKS WITH CHECKLISTS Say a thing and its parts and you get one task with a checklist. Tick items as you go. Add to it later by voice: "Add the valve stems to the wheels." NOTEBOOKS THAT HOLD THE WHOLE PROJECT Name the notebook as you talk and everything lands in it, tasks and notes together. Finish the notebook when the project is done. FIND ANYTHING YOU SAID Search every task and note, finished or not, by any word. REMINDERS THAT DO NOT GIVE UP Set how hard a reminder nags. Complete or snooze it from the lock screen. Undo a complete you did not mean. MOVE YOUR DAY WITH ONE SENTENCE "Push everything after noon back an hour" shows each task's old and new time before anything moves. PLAN MY DAY (PRO) Plan my day lays out your day; you tap Apply. BRING IN WHAT YOU RECORDED ELSEWHERE (PRO) Share a Voice Memo and its words are sorted like anything you say to In-Bot, dated the day you recorded it. On your reMarkable, use Convert and share, then share the page to In-Bot: each entry becomes a task or note, and a tag at the start picks the notebook. WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Apple Reminders with one tap. With Pro: iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad, and Send to Obsidian and Notion. PRIVATE BY CHOICE Your voice becomes text on your iPhone. In-Bot's cloud reads the text to sort it; In-Bot does not store your words on its servers, and they are never used to train AI models. Private mode keeps the sorting on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. TYPE WHEN YOU CANNOT TALK Text is a first-class citizen. Type anytime, even mid dictation. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Say "Hey Siri, add to In-Bot," wait for "What's on your mind?" and say it, even with your iPhone locked. Or press the Action Button, or tap the widget. In-Bot opens straight into recording. Driving Mode reads back what it heard. Capture first. Organize never. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
