TaskPlate is a straightforward task manager built around one idea: get things done without the clutter. CAPTURE IT FAST Tap + at the bottom, type, and press Return โ€” saved, with the next blank line already waiting. Empty your head in one go, and add the details later if they matter. BOARD YOUR WAY Organize every task across three simple stages โ€” To Do, In Progress, and Done. Swipe between them or tap to switch, and move tasks forward as you make progress. Turn your device sideways โ€” or open iPhone Duo โ€” to see your lists side by side. BREAK IT DOWN Add a checklist to any task and tick off the steps as you go. Press Return to move to the next step, check or uncheck the whole list in one tap, reorder items however you like, remove the ones you don't need, and see your progress right on the task list โ€” "2 of 5" at a glance, without opening anything. STAY ON TOP OF WHAT MATTERS - Pin your most important tasks to the top of To Do or In Progress - Drag to reorder tasks exactly how you want them - Search instantly across task names, notes, and checklist items - Filter any list by due date โ€” this week, month, quarter, or year โ€” sorted earliest first - Select several tasks and move them to another list in one go - Add due dates and set alerts โ€” local reminders 5 minutes, 15 minutes, an hour, or up to a week ahead, your choice - Tap an alert to jump straight to that task, and clear it when you're ready โ€” it stays counted on the app icon until you do NOTHING GETS LOST Deleted a task by mistake? It's not gone โ€” recover it anytime from the Deleted Tasks view before it's permanently purged. Set your own auto-cleanup schedule, or clear things out manually whenever you're ready. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Light, Dark, or System appearance, and pick your own accent color โ€” from curated presets or a full custom color picker. In Light appearance, go further with Color Scheme: four warm, hand-picked palettes that recolor the whole app. Changed your mind? One tap puts it all back the way it started. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS TaskPlate doesn't require an account, doesn't use the cloud, and doesn't collect your data. Every task lives only on your device. No sign-up, no syncing servers, no tracking โ€” just a private, fast to-do list. Please note: because nothing is sent to the cloud, your tasks are stored separately on each device and do not sync between your iPhone and iPad. Works great on iPhone, iPhone Duo, and iPad.

About

Transcribe

Record any meeting, lecture or interview and get a summary, the decisions and action items with owners โ€” no bot joins your call. Put the phone on the table, tap record, and watch the transcript appear live. Speech becomes text as people talk, split by speaker. When you stop, the notes are ready: a short summary, decisions, action items with an owner and a due date, and the topics worth remembering, with the full transcript underneath so you can check any of it. WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN THE MEETING ENDS โ€ข A short summary of what was discussed โ€ข The decisions, stated plainly โ€ข Action items with an owner and a due date โ€ข Key points and follow-up meetings โ€ข A transcript split by speaker, line by line, with timestamps WHO SAID WHAT Speakers are separated automatically. When people call each other by name, the app catches it and labels the transcript. Name a speaker once and their voice is recognised in later meetings; voiceprints stay on this iPhone. Your own corrections always win โ€” re-analysing a recording never overwrites them. ASK THE MEETING Not sure what you agreed to? Ask. "What was assigned to me?" "Why did we push the deadline?" Every answer points to the line in the transcript it rests on, so you can read it yourself instead of trusting the summary. You can also ask across all of your meetings and search them from the library. STRAIGHT INTO YOUR TO-DO LIST Action items go to Reminders in one tap, due date included. Follow-up meetings become Calendar events. No copy and paste. SHARE THE NOTES Copy the text, share it as a .txt file or a PDF, export subtitles as .srt, or email each participant their part. RECORDING KEEPS GOING Recording continues with the screen off and the app in the background. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show it is still running. Start and stop from Apple Watch or the Home Screen widget. LANGUAGES Transcribes 60 languages and detects the language on its own. The app itself is available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic. On your Home Screen the app is called Ses Notu. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No sign-up, no email, no minute bundles and no ads. Your recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on your device. SES NOTU PRO Your first three recordings are included; for every friend who uses your invite code you both get one more. Starting new recordings after that needs Ses Notu Pro, monthly or yearly. When you stop subscribing, everything you already recorded stays yours: transcripts, summaries and chat keep working. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Audio is sent to Soniox to be transcribed, and the transcript to Google Gemini for the summary and chat. The app does not store the audio.
