Record a voice note while you drive. With CarPlay you can capture a thought, save it in a tap, and start the next one, all without reaching for your phone.
Your notes just got tougher. Edits save themselves, failed notes tell you why, and Apple Watch recordings find their way to your phone even out of range.
Switch your AirPods, plug in a USB mic, connect a Bluetooth headset. Your recording keeps going. Your full recording, every time.
No new buttons to find, just a tougher, more accurate version of what you already rely on. Better transcription, quiet recordings, and cleaner code blocks.
Nothing new to learn, just a better version of what you use: pick your date format, search faster on Mac, plus stability fixes across iOS, Mac, and Watch.
Speed is the feature. We rebuilt how sync works, how the notebook engine performs, and how fast your note is ready after recording. Still entirely on-device.
We caught a few issues from the last release. This one makes things right. Your recordings are safe and the app stays rock-solid.
Quiet recordings come through clearer, you can see a recording without unlocking, and you feel when things happen. Plenty of goodies to start the new year.
We're back to shipping fast. A rebuilt sync layer fixes race conditions and edge cases: your audio stays local, and notes sync across Mac and phone instantly.
Cleft 1.10 is live on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Capture from your wrist, jump in through Spotlight Search, and feel the improved speed throughout.
Cleft 1.9 makes recording smoother whatever you're plugged into: switch mics mid-thought, see which one is live, and get a heads up when you're interrupted.
