About

Second Brain

Features
Read full description

Your brain was built to think, not to remember. SecondBrain turns any spoken thought into a filed, titled, dated record in about three seconds. No folders. No tagging. No deciding where it goes. Just talk. Your second brain does the rest. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Second Brain requires an auto-renewable subscription ($7.99 per week or $29.99 per month). Every feature described below is included with an active subscription - there are no extra purchases. HOW IT WORKS Hold the button and say what's on your mind - in the car, on a walk, halfway out the door. SecondBrain transcribes it, works out what you meant, and files it in the right project with the right due date. Then it buzzes back to confirm. "Call the accountant next Friday about the trust" becomes a task, in Client Work, due Friday. You never picked a project. You never set a date. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE โ€ข Today - your daily brief, what's due, and what's coming up next โ€ข Tasks - organized by project and due date, automatically โ€ข Calendar - tasks and events together in one month view โ€ข Brain - every note, photo, link and file you've ever captured โ€ข Projects - see what's active and what's gone quiet CAPTURE ANYTHING Voice, typed notes, photos, links, files. It all lands in the same place and gets sorted for you. Anything the app isn't confident about goes to a review inbox instead of being filed wrong - so nothing is ever lost or buried in the wrong folder. ASK YOUR BRAIN Get answers from everything you've captured. Your notes stop being a graveyard and start being something you can actually use. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your content lives in a private database. Nothing is shared, nothing is public, and your notes are never sold or used to train AI models. Export or delete everything at any time. SUBSCRIPTION SecondBrain requires a SecondBrain Pro subscription - $7.99/week or $29.99/month. All features shown, including voice capture, AI filing, the Daily Brief, and instant search, are part of Pro. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

About

MemoryPilot

Features
Read full description

You used to write things down everywhere. Not anymore. A date, a password, the gate code, what your sister cannot eat, the drawer where the batteries live. MemoryPilot keeps all of it for you, and gives it back the moment you ask. TWO GESTURES, NOTHING ELSE Left, you hand something over. Right, you ask. There is nothing else to learn. WRITE THE WAY YOU TALK "the gate code is 4512" "remind me Friday at 6pm to call the dentist" "Lea is allergic to shellfish" No folder to pick, no field to fill in. MemoryPilot reads your sentence, titles it, files it, and picks up the people, places and dates along the way. ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS "what's the gate code?" "who can't have seafood?" It finds things even when you don't use the words you used the day you said it. And it always shows where the answer came from: you see the memory it read. WHAT YOU CAN HAND OVER Passwords and codes, kept behind a lock and never shown in the clear in a list. Reminders that actually ring, once, every week, or every thirty minutes. Birthdays, with a reminder ten days ahead if you want one. What you know about the people around you, filed on their card by itself. Photos: the text is read on your phone, and you choose what it keeps. Your own categories, when the seven families are no longer enough. SPEAK, IT WRITES Press the mic and talk. The text appears as you speak, it knows the names on your cards, and you read it back before it goes anywhere. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Seven widgets: what is about to ring, your day hour by hour, a memory pulled up at random, your people, and both gestures one tap away without opening the app. WHAT STAYS WITH YOU Search runs on your phone, offline, in a few milliseconds, and it does not slow down as your memory grows. The text in your photos is read on the device. When you ask a question, only the few useful excerpts go to the model, never your whole memory. Your backup is encrypted before it leaves the phone, so you find everything again on a new device. ENGLISH AND FRENCH Everything is translated, and you can switch language whenever you like. What you hand over is yours. You can erase all of it, and delete your account, from inside the app. Terms of Use: https://www.memorypilot.fr/conditions Privacy Policy: https://www.memorypilot.fr/confidentialite
