About Ideas (on-the-go)

This app probably isn't for you.

How's that for a marketing strategy?

Seriously, it was designed for a very specific use-case. Mine. I like to go on walks, hold my phone in my hand, not listen to music or podcasts and just let my brain wander. I've found that this is when ideas just start flooding in - and I needed a way to capture them.

To use, you simply start the app before your walk. When you have an idea, you bring the phone up to your mouth and either tap or press-and-hold to start recording. When you're done speaking the idea, you either tap again or lift up your finger - depending on how you initiated the recording.

The app will then transcribe your idea into text and allow you to share it. I always just share with myself (via email), but you can share with anyone via any of the standard iOS share options (Messages, Email, Copy, etc).

I typically queue up all of the ideas for a walk and share once at the end - but you can share whenever you want.

If you always share to the same email or phone number, you can add that in the Settings and sharing will be even easier (just one tap).

When the app has transcribed your idea and is ready to accept the next one, your phone will vibrate.

If any of that sounds like how YOU roll, give it a try. If not, I'm guessing there are a bazillion other apps for stuff like this.
