OWrite Pro brings notes, plans, habits, focus, outdoor workouts, reminders, and important dates into one calm personal space. Write down what matters, take the next small step, and make room to move. WRITE DOWN IDEAS WORTH KEEPING Use rich-text notes for journals, plans, excerpts, drafts, or unnamed thoughts. Add photos, style your text, search your content, restore deleted items from Trash, and turn a note into an image to save or share. BUILD HABITS AT YOUR OWN PACE Choose daily streaks or cumulative targets for reading, stretching, exercise, and more. Set dates, colors, icons, and reminders. Check in with one tap and review progress on the calendar. BREAK GOALS INTO SMALL STEPS Create tasks for long-term plans or everyday work. Set deadlines, reminders, tags, and colors. Divide a goal into scheduled subtasks with checklists and notes, then review progress in week, month, and timeline views. GO OUTSIDE AND MOVE Record outdoor runs, walks, hikes, and rides. Follow your route and live duration, distance, pace or speed, and calories. Pause or resume, mark splits, revisit workout details, and explore distance trends. Supported devices can show an active workout with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Routes need Location permission; Health data requires authorization, and heart-rate readings depend on a compatible device such as Apple Watch. FOCUS WITH INTENTION Create a focus goal and record sessions with an immersive timer. Review daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics. Follow a running timer through Live Activities on supported devices. As a goal nears completion, the timer becomes a countdown and your effort blooms into a mathematical flower. KEEP IMPORTANT DATES IN SIGHT Save birthdays, trips, anniversaries, launches, and other days worth anticipating. See countdowns and elapsed days, choose reminders and recurrence, add a photo or Live Photo, and display a selected date in the Home Screen widget. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY Create one-time reminders or repeat them on selected weekdays, monthly, or yearly. Add notes and images, then manage reminders in one dedicated center. ONE HOME FOR YOUR LIFE See habits, tasks, recent notes, focus goals, workouts, and important dates together. Search titles, content, and tags or filter by color. Completing habit, task, and focus goals unlocks distinctive Maurer Rose achievements. DESIGNED FOR YOU OWrite supports VoiceOver, Voice Control, accessible actions and widgets, Reduced Motion, enhanced contrast, appearance choices, and 12- or 24-hour time. Data stays on your device by default, with optional iCloud sync. Protect app content with Face ID or the device passcode.

See the key points, then decide what to read in depth. BriefFeed uses AI to summarize supported articles, posts, and web content, keeping source links close so you can return to the original. Explore all features, real examples, and the demo video: https://brieffeed.app Share a link to see an AI summary Share a link from another app or paste a URL into BriefFeed. For supported content, BriefFeed generates a summary after fetching or opening the page. Some pages need to load and have their text expanded in the reader first. See key points while browsing Safari Enable the included Safari extension on iPhone and iPad to see AI summaries beside supported posts, discussions, and pages. The extension summarizes supported content already loaded on the page, helping you choose what to read in depth. Keep what is worth returning to Save summaries with their source links and browse your saved items by author. Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your Apple iCloud account, without creating a separate BriefFeed account. Find what you read Search recent reading by words you remember, open the original source, or save a useful item from history. Revisit retained content by author, with portraits and biographies when available. History contains only supported content encountered by BriefFeed within the selected retention period. Continue from the browser extension Connect a compatible BriefFeed browser extension on your Mac to sync saved items and browsing history within your selected retention period while the Mac app is running. Synced items continue through your Apple iCloud account to iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can find a source from your computer when you need it on your phone. Supported content On selected websites, the Safari extension supports social posts, discussions, articles, repositories, paper pages, podcast show notes, and available video text. Support depends on the site, page type, and accessible content. Video summaries use only the current video's available transcript, subtitles, timeline text, or chapters. Podcast summaries use show notes. BriefFeed does not directly analyze audio or video frames. Links that cannot be summarized can still be saved for later. Optional Notion sync Connect your own Notion integration to sync items you explicitly save in the Safari extension. The Notion token stays in that extension's local storage. Synced content goes directly from Safari to Notion, without passing through BriefFeed servers. Stay connected to the source Summary requests use the source text and limited source information needed for the summary. The extension does not send cookies or account sessions to BriefFeed. Original links remain available so you can check details and read in context.
