Network use is opt-in
Withdraw third-party AI permission and keep using local features.
Recording stays visible
System indicators and Live Activity keep the recording state clear.
Take everything with you
Export original audio, transcript, and organized result.
FAQ
A few things to know before you begin.
Which devices are supported?+
The first release targets iPhones with the Action Button and Live Activities. Exact OS requirements will be published before launch.
Can it record from the Lock Screen?+
After the first permission and Shortcut setup, capture can start from the Lock Screen. iOS keeps the recording state visible.
Do I have to use AI?+
No. Original audio, playback, history, and export do not require third-party AI. Smart organization is a separate opt-in.
Will failed transcription lose my recording?+
No. Drip saves the original first, and transcription can retry later. Always verify important content against the audio.
The next thought doesn’t need to wait for you to unlock, search, or organize.
