Thoughts remembers what you say and organizes it for you. Then just ask: "What was that blue tea?", "What's on my movies list?", "What did I say about cats last week?" Just talk or type naturally like you would to a friend. It remembers and sorts for you. • "Kim's favorite flower is peony" – got it. • "I need peanut butter, avocado... oh and to organize my closet" – stored as Groceries and Tasks. • "What restaurants did I want to try?" finds everything you've told it on different days in different ways. Easily capture those fleeting thoughts you otherwise wouldn't bother to: "Wouldn't it be great if mailboxes had a slot for junk mail that went straight into a recycle bin?" Maybe you'll ask about it sometime, maybe not. When you're done? • "Share my list of favorite wines" → copy → send. • "Clear my Costco list". Done. • "Forget everything about Thai Passion, it closed." Gone, with 30 days to undo. Notifications only come when you want them: "Remind me to change the filter in 4 months" → allow notifications → done. It'll pick a date and time if you don't. Enable your location to never forget a meal: "Yum, I like this pumpkin soup" and "Not a fan of the flan". Then you visit a year later: "What did I like here?" Your thoughts stay in sync with Thoughts for Mac. For help on the app itself: "What can you do?" It's so easy! SUBSCRIPTION Thoughts requires a weekly or annual subscription to use. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
