A notes app that really works.
We're back to shipping fast. Less things to give you the ick. Rebuilt sync layer, fixed race conditions and edge cases. Your audio stays local. Your notes sync across Mac and phone instantly, reliably.
In this release
Three things that change how you capture.
Plus+2525improvements & fixes
Tap record. See your words.
Press record and start talking. No permission prompts, no warm-up, no waiting for the waveform. Notes follow you everywhere: phone to Mac, instantly synced. Pull-to-sync from any device pulls the latest down.
- Talk immediately. Live words appear as you speak.
- Hands-free with Siri. “Hey Siri, take a note.”
- Mic permission, once. Then we get out of your way.
57languages.
Transcription, end-to-end
From okay-for-some to actually multilingual.
We support 57 languages. This release brings transcription from "okay for some" to much better, whether you're in Germany, Norway, Brazil, or anywhere else. Transcription and note language are now synced. Multilingual switching is on the roadmap.
- Synced languages. Transcription matches your note language.
- Better in 57. Quality jump across every supported tongue.
- More on the way. Multilingual mid-note switching, queued.
Keyboard-first, the way Mac apps should be.
Three single-letter shortcuts, the keys you'd hit by instinct. The pinned-note widget, the Settings roadmap upvote, and links that open in Cleft instead of stalling out all land in the same release.
N · C · S
N to record. C to copy. S to share. Every command on Mac has a single-letter shortcut now.
Pin to home
Pin any note to your iPhone home screen as a widget. Stays there until you pin a different one.
