I need to work on the Kubernetti’sKubernetes deploy that keeps failing the retry test. GrifanaGrafana shows the pods restarting in a loop. Data DogDatadog is alerting on every rollout, and I think it is the memory limit we dropped.

Voice capture with ⌥Space. The panel opens over whatever has the screen.

Drag a task into any app. The whole task lands, unsent.

A second model improves the transcript. Off until you fetch the model.

On-device AI, stored on this Mac. Its one request is the update check, and it asks first.

How the Mac app works

Speak it, drag it, hand it to an agent.

Say it

Press ⌥Space in any app. The panel opens over what you were doing, and you do not leave it.

Drag it where the work is

Drop a card into anything that takes text and the task arrives with the note it came out of.

Hand it to an agent

Two tools read the list, one writes where a task got to. Nothing runs until you set it up.

Everything stays on your device.

Transcription, extraction, history and recordings stay where you spoke. How to check it.

  • Transcription by SpeechAnalyzer, on device
  • Task extraction by Foundation Models, on device
  • Second reading by Whisper or Qwen3-ASR, on the Mac if you fetch it
  • No account, and nothing to sign in to
  • No analytics, no server, no third-party SDK

How it works

Say it once. It is on both devices.

  1. 1 · Capture

    Speak the way you normally would.

    The Action Button on an iPhone, ⌥Space on a Mac.

    “Book the flights at 9 this morning, chase up the invoice at 2, get eggs and milk at 4, then grab something for dinner at 6.”

  2. 2 · Save

    A model on your device reads it.

    Transcription and extraction both run where you spoke. Nothing is uploaded.

  3. 3 · Review

    Four tasks, each with the time you said.

    Filed under Morning, Afternoon and Tonight.

    • Chase up the invoice2:00 PM

Key features

What the app does.

Times from your words

“Tomorrow at nine” becomes a task on tomorrow at 9:00, and it alerts you at nine.

Nothing goes in your calendar unless you switch the Calendar mirror on.

Sample demo

“Send the proposal tomorrow at 3.”

Send the proposalTomorrow · 3:00 PMWork

On-device transcription

SpeechAnalyzer runs on the iPhone. No upload, no queue.

Four parts of a day

Morning, Afternoon, Tonight, Anytime — not a calendar to maintain.

Move it to another day

Hold a card at the edge of the screen and the day changes underneath it.

Transcript and recording kept

Every capture keeps its transcript and its recording.

Notes, not tasks

A thought with nothing to do stays a note, not a task.

Send it to another app

Drag a card into another app, or continue in Shortcuts. Nothing leaves on its own.

Say it Offhand.
